Recycled Concrete Crushing of Concrete Rubble at Perdido Landfill

Escambia County Waste Services is seeking bids for recycling concrete rubble at the Perdido Landfill, located in Cantonment, Florida. The procurement involves crushing approximately 5,100 tons of concrete debris with pieces ranging from 4"-30" in thickness, containing minimal brick, asphalt, metal, and rebar. Bidders must provide all equipment, labor, and materials to crush the rubble into 1 1/2" minus base material, with pricing structured on a per-ton basis. The contract will initially run for 36 months, with potential renewals extending up to 60 months total. Bidders must submit electronic proposals through OpenGov's procurement portal by December 1, 2025, at 1:00 pm, with a pre-bid meeting scheduled for November 17, 2025. The county will evaluate bids based on responsiveness, responsibility, and lowest price, with comprehensive requirements including detailed insurance coverage, E-Verify compliance, and business registration documentation. Specific technical requirements include strict environmental monitoring, particularly around dust emissions, which cannot exceed PM2.5 fine particle standards of 35 g/m3.

The procurement appears open to all qualified businesses, with a local business preference policy potentially providing advantages to vendors meeting specific local presence criteria. Bidders must meet extensive insurance requirements, including workers' compensation, general liability, and pollution liability coverage. Additional compliance requirements include anti-human trafficking provisions, conflict of interest disclosures, and scrutinized companies certifications. While no specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises were explicitly mentioned, the bid process emphasizes thorough documentation and ethical business practices. The project is operating under multiple state and federal permits, including a Stormwater Permit and a Title V Air Permit, indicating complex regulatory compliance expectations. Though a specific budget range was not provided, the scope involves processing 5,100 tons of concrete rubble, suggesting a potentially significant contract value. The project will utilize existing landfill infrastructure, including a designated stockpile area and established waste management facilities.
