Calabasas Landfill (CALF) Bench-Scale Liquids Treatability Study

The project involves the collection and analysis of landfill liquids from the Calabasas Landfill in Agoura, California, to conduct bench-scale treatability studies aimed at identifying viable treatment technologies capable of meeting future discharge requirements for the Las Virgenes Metropolitan Water District sewerage system. The work is scoped as a minor alteration with no significant physical expansion and is administratively categorized under California Environmental Quality Act exemptions Classes 1 and 6, indicating limited environmental impact. Performance is restricted to the period from January 30, 2026, through March 2, 2026, with all activities conducted on-site at the landfill location. The Los Angeles County Sanitation District, acting as the procuring agency, will oversee the effort through its Planning Section, with Debra Bogdanoff and Samer Shammas serving as the primary technical contacts. No contract value, pricing details, or formal solicitation number have been disclosed, and the document is classified as a forecast notice rather than a formal request for proposal. The scope focuses exclusively on laboratory testing and data analysis to inform future system design, with no deliverables beyond technical findings and performance evaluations, and no formal inspection, acceptance, packaging, or invoicing protocols are specified. The contract structure lacks standard federal acquisition elements such as clause references, evaluation factors for award, or detailed specifications for submissions, suggesting this is an administrative procurement under state authority rather than a full federal contract governed by the FAR. No offeror representations, size certifications, unique entity identifiers, or socioeconomic requirements are included, as the procurement appears to be a direct, non-competitive engagement for specialized environmental testing services. There are no FOB terms, delivery schedules for goods, or contract options, and the nature of the work—data collection and bench-scale analysis—means shipping, packaging, or material handling standards are not applicable. The agency has not designated a Contracting Officer’s Representative, Procurement Contracting Officer, or financial accounting codes, and payment details are not provided. Electronic submission is implied but not mandated with specific formats or portals, and the process relies on the agency’s internal administrative channels for engagement. Compliance is tied to anticipated discharge standards under California water regulations, with no reference to ASTM, EPA, or MIL-STD specifications. The project is intended purely to generate technical insights for long-term planning rather than to produce an immediately executable solution.
