Schilling Landfill Vertical Well Installation (Phase II)

The Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection is seeking bids for the Schilling Landfill Vertical Well Installation (Phase II) project, a comprehensive landfill gas management improvement initiative located in Lebanon, Pennsylvania. The procurement involves the installation of four new vertical extraction wells (VWH049 through VWH052), redrilling nine existing wells, and abandoning multiple existing wells and surface collector systems. Contractors will be responsible for installing new landfill gas header piping with air and force main lines, constructing road crossings, and implementing air relief valves and leachate clean-out connections. The technical specifications require all landfill gas conveyance piping to be SDR17 high-density polyethylene (HDPE) with a minimum 5% slope, compressed air piping as SDR9 HDPE, and force main carrier piping as SDR11 HDPE. The bid package was issued on January 5, 2026, with proposal submissions due by January 30, 2026, and requires bidders to demonstrate technical expertise in landfill gas infrastructure installation, environmental remediation, and site restoration capabilities.

While no specific set-aside designations or disadvantaged enterprise requirements are explicitly mentioned in the documentation, the project appears to be open to qualified environmental engineering and construction firms with specialized landfill gas management experience. The project is being managed by the Greater Lebanon Refuse Authority (GLRA) and engineered by SCS Engineers, with the work to be performed at the Schilling Landfill located at 1800 Russell Road in Lebanon, Pennsylvania. Although precise budget figures are not disclosed, the comprehensive nature of the project—involving well installations, piping systems, and infrastructure improvements—suggests a significant capital investment. The project requires detailed coordination with the construction quality assurance representative, owner, and landfill gas system operator to minimize operational disruptions during implementation. Bidders will need to demonstrate technical competence, provide comprehensive project plans, and show capability to execute the work with minimal system downtime.
