Quality assurance for the construction of the twin chimneys landfill unit 4 cell 3

Greenville County is seeking proposals for construction quality assurance (CQA) services for the Twin Chimneys Landfill Unit 4 Cell 3 project through Request for Proposals #22073. The procurement involves a comprehensive CQA field services contract to support the construction of an approximately 8.5-acre landfill cell, with services to be performed in compliance with the Construction Quality Assurance Plan prepared by HDR Engineering, Inc. in February 2022. The successful firm will be required to provide detailed, comprehensive CQA services to ensure all aspects of the construction meet regulatory standards, with a specific mandate to submit a detailed report to the South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control (SCDHEC) within 30 days of substantial project completion. Proposals will be evaluated across five key categories: quality assurance experience (20%), organization and staffing (20%), project approach (20%), responsiveness to the RFP (20%), and cost (20%). The solicitation was issued on March 11, 2022, with proposals due on April 13, 2022, at 3:30 pm through the county's online procurement portal, and a non-mandatory pre-proposal meeting was held on March 16, 2022, at the Twin Chimneys Landfill site.

The procurement includes provisions for compliance with the Illegal Immigration Reform Act and encourages participation from minority and women-owned business enterprises (MBE/WBE). Contractors must maintain comprehensive insurance coverage, including $1,000,000 per occurrence general liability, $1,000,000 automobile liability, and statutory worker's compensation. While specific budget ranges are not explicitly stated, the contract allows for potential annual renewals and provides a sample services agreement template that offers flexibility in contract terms. The county reserves the right to reject any proposals and will make the award based on the most advantageous offer, considering factors such as integrity, reputation, experience, and past performance. No incumbent vendors are mentioned in the documentation, and the project appears to be a new construction initiative without specified integration requirements with existing infrastructure or technology.
