Junkers Landfill Operation, Maintenance, and Monitoring

The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (DNR) has issued a Request for Bid (RFB 26-504-37) seeking contractors for the operation, maintenance, and monitoring (OM&M) of the Junkers Landfill, located in Hudson, Wisconsin. The contract is structured for an initial two-year term starting March 2, 2026, with the possibility of three successive one-year renewals. The contractor will be responsible for collaborating closely with DNR personnel and other team members to ensure full compliance with prescribed remediation activities, environmental monitoring, and operational standards outlined in a referenced Attachment A. Deliverables include adherence to comprehensive performance specifications, timely reporting, insurance documentation, and personnel background checks. Noncompliance or failure to meet standards may result in liquidated damages or contract termination. Bids are evaluated primarily on a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) basis, focusing on cost while ensuring responsiveness and responsibility. Socioeconomic preferences are applied post-evaluation, offering a 5% price preference to certified Minority-Owned Business Enterprises (MBEs) and Disabled Veteran-Owned Businesses (DVBs), with requisite quarterly reporting on subcontractor utilization. The solicitation emphasizes stringent special terms such as background checks, tobacco-free policy compliance, subcontractor approval processes with markup limits, and strict reporting requirements. Payment is contingent upon satisfactory acceptance by the DNR, with no partial payments until deliverables are approved. The solicitation process strictly requires submission of a completed DOA-3832 form, unaltered bid price sheets, and qualifications documentation by the deadline of January 6, 2026. Administrative oversight is provided by Procurement Administrator Brady Busha, who serves as the primary point of contact for this procurement.
