The Town of Poland reserves the right to reject any or all bids. Poland is the recipient of an Environmental Protection Agency Grant to improve the Poland Transfer Station. The Town of Poland is soliciting proposals for the design/engineering of a metal structure that will shelter our compactors and roll off containers from the elements and additional concrete laydown areas at the Poland Transfer Station located at 1 Waste Not Drive, Poland, ME 04274. Additionally, once the design of structures is completed; Draft a site plan and present it to the Poland Planning Board for approval. Draft an RFP for construction - one for the Metal Shelter and another for the Concrete Laydown Area. The RFP would include appropriate language to address Davis-Bacon, American Iron and Steel (AIS), and Build American/Buy American (BABA) requirements. The EPA would need to review and approve the draft RFP before it was sent out to bid. Include a production schedule. The schedule should account for Transfer Station normal operating hours - Friday to Monday from 7AM to 5PM. Construction should be sequenced to allow normal operation. Closing the Transfer Station to accommodate construction will be considered, but only if other options do not work and only for a short time. Collect bids and make a recommendation to the Town. A current topographical survey in .DWG format showing all structures, drainage culverts, utilities, and asphalt is available. The Poland Transfer Station has 3 compactors that need to be sheltered - 2 municipal solid waste compactors and 1 recycling compactor. There is an existing structure that provides some shelter that the new shelter would need to attach to/stand adjacent to. The 2 municipal solid waste compactors are in line with each other while the 1 recycling compactor sits back slightly. There is a concrete pad underneath all three compactors and roll off containers that would need to be extended. 220V and 110V electric power is available. Additional concrete laydown areas would also be included. Proposals should accommodate and include: Metal Shelter. Design plans stamped by an engineer. Structure with appropriate framing and a roof that will shed rain, snow and ice. Drainage plan for runoff from the roof. There is an existing drainage system that could be tied into. An add/delete option to include roll up doors on the third side. This should include a personnel door on one of the two sides. The structure should be tall and wide enough to accommodate the roll off containers being changed out. Adequate electrical lighting in the overhead to illuminate the entire area. LED fixtures are preferred. 4 light bars over each compactor and roll off container and 4 light bars in the center. 2 light bars over each of 3 compactors. Translucent roof panels may be included to improve lighting in the shelter. 4 light switches to control lighting. These should be located near the entrance on both sides, at the door to the electrical room, and in the Transfer Station Office. 5 110V power points. 2 at the outside edge near the opening of the shelter, 2 near the compactor, and one near the door to the electrical room. The foot print will be over an existing concrete pad. Concrete walls on either side of the structure will need to constructed that are high enough to hold back the fill on the other side and strong enough to hold up the structure. There should be adequate room, approximately 4', at the edge of the structure on the inside to allow personnel to safely move, and allow room for a truck to back in and swap out roll off boxes. Extend the existing concrete pad to the current roadway. Color should match the blue of the other structures at the Transfer Station. Concrete Laydown Areas. Design plans stamped by an engineer. Expansion of existing concrete laydown areas. The concrete pad will be used to store roll off containers and will be located adjacent to existing concrete pads. Design should show how storm water will be addressed. Site visit. Bidders are encouraged to request a site visit prior to the submission of bids. A graphic showing the approximate location of the metal shelter and concrete laydown area is included. Award Amount: 27,500.00
