Site work for a power facility in York, Maine. Completed plans call for site work for a power facility.

The Town of York, Maine is seeking information and qualifications from eligible respondents to identify applications of solar photovoltaic systems at the Witchtrot Landfill, a U.S. EPA regulated Superfund site. The objective is to supply clean renewable electricity to both the Town and potential partners. The Town aims to identify qualified potential proposers for building cost-effective solar at Witchtrot. The Site is regulated by the EPA and includes a consent decree with all identified responsible parties. The Town owns about 43.96 acres of the former landfill. Remediation under the consent decree includes a four-foot clay cap and groundwater monitoring wells sited primarily along the perimeter of the capped areas. Any future development must be fully consistent with the Site's remedial features and institutional controls to ensure longterm access to and protection of the Site's remedies. The Site does not generate enough methane for recapture. The Town seeks to identify a development partner or partners that can install a solar project at the Site. Please note that the Town does not endorse any specific project, vendor, system, technology or method in issuing this RFI/RFQ and welcomes all innovative ideas. The Town's highest priority is to see solar development. The Town is also interested in other installations that could serve existing uses or those that might be developed in partnership with solar at Witchtrot. Respondents may provide concepts for one project only or for both. The purpose of this RFI/RFQ is to gather information about the opportunities and challenges of developing the solar project at Witchtrot that can ideally be operational within 12 months of bid award.
