Truax Landfill - Gas Monitoring & Inspection/Maintenance Services

Dane County, Wisconsin is seeking a comprehensive five-year contract for Gas Monitoring & Inspection/Maintenance Services at the Truax Landfill through a Request for Proposal (RFP) process. The contract encompasses engineering services focused on landfill gas collection system operations, maintenance, monitoring, analysis, record keeping, and reporting. Specific services include monthly inspections of extraction wells and trenches, semiannual flare inspections, blower bearing lubrication, valve adjustments, and monthly condensate lift station monitoring. Proposers must submit electronic responses through the County's eProcurement Portal by June 2, 2023, at 2:00 pm, with the contract term beginning on the execution date and running for five years. The evaluation of proposals will be based on four primary criteria: past experience with similar projects (40 points), project personnel qualifications and experience (30 points), cost (30 points), and a local vendor preference component offering additional points for Dane County (5 points) or adjacent county (2 points) vendors.

The RFP does not explicitly outline specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. Proposers are required to provide detailed information about their company, including past work experience, personnel qualifications, and potential subcontractors. The procurement covers a landfill site containing approximately 1,000,000 cubic yards of municipal solid waste, with an extensive existing infrastructure including 13 horizontal gas wells (TR-1 through TR-13) and 25 vertical gas wells. While a specific budget range is not disclosed in the documents, the comprehensive nature of the monitoring and maintenance services suggests a significant contract value. The existing infrastructure, as detailed in multiple exhibit maps, includes a complex network of gas probes, extraction wells, trench riser valves, condensate management facilities, and a blower building and flare, which will require thorough understanding and integration by the selected vendor.
