DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS MEMORANDUM

TO: City Council
FROM: Mike Payne, Engineering Manager
SUBJECT: Award of Bid Schedule “L” – 2009
Contract 2009-29, Landfill Gas Collection System - Phase 1
Summary
Bids for Contract 2009-19 were opened on Wednesday, December 2, 2009. The
Engineering Division is recommending award of this contract to the low bidder,
as shown on the attached tabulation of bids.
Recommendation
Following review by the Council, the Engineering Division recommends award of
Contract 2009-29 to the low bidder.
City Manager Recommendation:
The Operations Director recommended and the City Council included funding for
installation of five landfill gas collection wells in Cell 1 of the landfill in the 2009
borrowing. It is believed that Cell is the largest source of odor.
Typically the wells are not installed until final closure of a cell, but given the
extent of the odor problem, the Operation Director recommended moving ahead.
These wells will likely have to be replaced when final closure of Cell 1 is
completed in 2011.
Suggested Motion
I move to award Contract 2009-29 to Terra Engineering and Construction
Corporation.
