The Public Works - Solid Waste agency within San Bernardino County is dedicated to ensuring the safe, compliant, and sustainable management of municipal solid waste through infrastructure development, environmental oversight, and operational excellence. Its core mission centers on the design, construction, and long-term management of sanitary landfills, with a strong emphasis on liner systems, gas extraction, and environmental monitoring to protect groundwater and air quality. Strategic priorities include advancing landfill engineering standards, implementing modern containment technologies, and securing ongoing technical expertise to maintain regulatory compliance and public health protections. Key programs focus on landfill expansion projects, gas collection and treatment systems, and comprehensive environmental consulting to support permitting and remediation efforts.
The agency routinely procures engineering, construction, and environmental services critical to landfill lifecycle management. It relies heavily on on-call engineering contracts and targeted solicitations for construction management, quality assurance, and specialized technical services. Contract structures are typically performance-based, with a preference for long-term service agreements that ensure continuity in complex, regulated operations.
Primary procurement activity targets engineering services, landfill construction and operation, and environmental consulting, with a consistent demand for surveying, mapping, and geotechnical support to inform site development. The agency engages vendors with proven expertise in heavy civil construction, landfill liner systems, and landfill gas management, favoring firms with demonstrated experience in California’s environmental regulatory framework. No set-aside preferences are indicated, suggesting a focus on technical capability over socioeconomic categorization.
As a division of the San Bernardino County Department of Public Works, the agency operates across multiple landfill sites within the county, coordinating regional waste disposal infrastructure. It utilizes competitive solicitations and on-call vehicles to secure specialized services, maintaining a procurement model centered on technical rigor, regulatory adherence, and infrastructure resilience.
