Wood Grinding

The Augusta Regional Landfill in Augusta County, Virginia, is issuing a Request for Quote for wood waste and stump grinding services. The procurement seeks bids to grind existing accumulations of wood waste and stumps on-site using a horizontal grinder or shredder. The project encompasses two distinct material piles: a Wood Waste Pile measuring approximately 200 feet long by 139 feet wide by 12 feet tall (approximately 12,355.5 cubic yards) and a Stump Pile measuring approximately 74 feet long by 25 feet wide by 10 feet tall (approximately 685 cubic yards). The selected contractor must complete grinding operations within six weeks of purchase order issuance, with work commencing no later than 30 days following contract award. Bidders must submit two separate pricing proposals: a lump sum price for grinding the existing piles with a 6-inch screen and a unit price per cubic yard for any additional material accumulating between the quote date and project completion. The contractor is responsible for all mobilization, loading, grinding, material movement within the accumulation area, and demobilization activities, with all ground material remaining on-site for use as alternative daily cover. The landfill operates Monday through Saturday, 8:00 AM to 4:15 PM, though extended access from dawn to dusk is available by arrangement with landfill staff. Contract award will be based on the lowest total lump sum grinding price, and the quote submission deadline is April 29, 2026, at 12:00 PM, with submissions directed to jtruxell@augustaregionallandfill.com.

The Request for Quote does not specify any set-aside designations, disadvantaged enterprise restrictions, or incumbent vendor information. The landfill assumes no responsibility for tramp metal or contamination that may damage contractor equipment and reserves the right to procure additional grinding services from the successful bidder for any additional accumulated wood waste prior to demobilization. If grinding operations do not commence within the specified 30-day timeframe, the landfill retains the right to award the contract to the next lowest responsive and responsible bidder. The document does not provide a stated budget range or award value; pricing will be determined by competitive bidding responses. No specific qualifications or certifications are explicitly listed, though bidders must demonstrate capacity and capability to operate horizontal grinding equipment on-site and manage the volumes and project timeline specified.
