The City of Glendale is seeking a qualified Engineering Consulting firm (Consultant) to provide general engineering services, including design and construction administration services, engineering support, and environmental compliance support. Activities under this contract are specific to the City of Glendale Municipal Landfill and will be identified in separate task orders of varying size and complexity. The contract shall be for an initial period of three (3) years, with the option for the city to extend the term an additional two (2) years, renewable on an annual basis. PROJECT DESCRIPTION The City of Glendale Municipal Landfill (GML), located at 11480 West Glendale Avenue, is owned, and operated by the City of Glendale. The permitted footprint consists of two areas: the south area (approximately 140 acres) and the north expansion area (approximately 120 acres). The Arizona Department of Environmental Quality (ADEQ) approved the entire footprint as a landfill under the 1986 Environmental Quality Act. Based on an annual landfill financial assurance report, the GML has approximately another 40 years disposal capacity. Landfill operations are nearly complete in the south area, with operations already started in the north area. The following is a list of general landfill engineering task categories typically needed by the City Landfill. This list is not comprehensive, and the city reserves the right to modify or add related engineering services as necessary. 1. Planning and evaluating related master plan development, cost analysis, waste modeling and statistical evaluations, landfill operations, closure / post-closure and financial assurance, facility management, equipment optimization and utilization techniques, and environmental regulatory compliance. 2. Standard calculations for landfill operation and optimization such as waste quantity estimates (e.g., tonnage, volume, air space), soil to waste ratios, waste densities, and environmental/air quality emissions. 3. Routine activities including geotechnical and hydrological studies, construction cost projections and management oversight on design projects such as waste cell sequencing, leachate collection and pumping, stormwater management and landfill gas. 4. Document preparation including permit applications and modifications; design reports and feasibility studies; cost estimates: construction plans, specifications and bid documents; and facility and environmental plans. 5. Meetings and presentations, including attendance and/or representation of the City at various public and governmental agency meetings. 6. Regulatory agency interaction and liaison requiring robust knowledge of federal, state, and local agency policies, guidelines, and regulations. SCOPE OF WORK The selected Consultant will work closely with the Glendale Municipal Landfill and others, as needed, during all phases of the project. The City will utilize the services of the Consultant for programming, design, probable costs, and construction administration. The Consultant may also attend and represent the City at various public and governmental agency meeting. Because City staff may not have time to respond to individual inquiries regarding the scope outside of the pre-submittal conference and walk-through, it is recommended that interested firms have a representative attend. Questions pertaining to the RFQ, or selection process should be directed in writing to the Engineering Department, City of Glendale, 5850 West Glendale Avenue, Glendale, AZ 85301, or by email to EngineeringDept@glendaleaz.com. The method of Contractor Selection has not been Determined at this time.
