RFB-16-27 Central KY Landfill Closure AI# 33403

The Commonwealth of Kentucky Department for Environmental Protection is requesting bids on closure of Phases 3 and 4 of the Central Kentucky Landfill in Scott County under RFB-16-27, with bids due July 21, 2026 at 1:30 p.m. Eastern Time and a mandatory pre-bid site visit on July 8 at 493 Double Culvert Road, Sadieville, Kentucky.

The scope encompasses earthwork grading for the cap system, installation of a 40-mil LLDPE textured flexible membrane liner, geocomposite drainage layers at the toe of slope and gas vent strips, leachate toe drain systems, two-foot vegetative cover placement, and erosion and sediment control measures. Bidders are responsible for determining feasibility of on-site borrow materials (clay soils with shale and limestone layers) and assessing whether mechanical screening is needed to meet the specification requirement of maximum 30 percent rock content. Alternate bid items include perimeter road grading and graveling to 10 feet wide and riprap channel lining. Bidders are not compensated for landfill settlement, waste material encountered during cover soil removal, or geomembrane damage caused by contractor equipment. All waste must be handled on-site on relatively flat areas of Phases 3 and 4 or disposed of at the contractor's expense at a permitted facility. Water may be obtained from the on-site sediment pond or hauled in at contractor expense. Subgrade preparation and testing prior to liner deployment are required, with remediation costs borne by the contractor.

Bids must be submitted exclusively through the Commonwealth's eProcurement system with Vendor Self Service (VSS) registration completed 24 to 48 hours prior to submission. The Official Bid Document and any required Bid Bond must be combined into a single PDF attachment. Bidders shall enter $0.00 as the contract amount in the e-procurement system, with the actual contract amount on the Official Bid Document. Project plans and specifications are available at https://www.stateofkyplanroom.com at no charge. Purchasing Officer Susan Ward is the Buyer of Record; questions may be directed to susan.ward@ky.gov or (502) 226-0335.
