Landfill Dumping Services

The City of Richmond, Virginia’s Department of Public Utilities (DPU) is soliciting bids under Invitation for Bid (IFB) 260007505 for landfill dumping services to manage and dispose of construction debris and excavated spoils generated by its natural gas, water, wastewater, and stormwater utility operations. The contract requires a qualified contractor to accept, transport, recycle, or dispose of an estimated 100,000 tons of varied materials annually, including dirt, sand, asphalt, concrete, brick, gravel, and rubble. Services are expected to be performed at a state-licensed Type IV, non-compacted solid waste landfill that complies with Virginia Department of Health (VDH) municipal solid waste regulations. The contractor must maintain appropriate inspection systems, ensure continuous access during normal operational hours (Monday through Saturday, 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.), and respond timely to work assignments. The City reserves the right to award the contract wholly or in multiple parts and to extend or renew the contract for up to one year and two additional two-year terms, respectively. The procurement emphasizes compliance with local procurement policies, including minority and emerging small business (MBE/ESB) participation goals, though no subcontracting participation goals were set due to limited opportunities. Awards will be made based on a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable basis, ensuring bidders meet minimum responsiveness and responsibility standards. Bidders must provide detailed submissions including a State Corporation Commission registration form, consent for electronic signatures, a signature sheet, and applicable MBE/ESB participation commitments. The contract stipulates strict requirements regarding key personnel substitutions, drug-free workplace mandates, intellectual property rights—assigning all contract deliverables to the City—and adherence to ethical public contracting practices. Invoicing is to be submitted both electronically and in hard copy to the City’s Department of Finance, and payment is contingent upon budget appropriations. The overall estimated contract value is approximately $3.1 million, reflecting prior budget figures. Bids must be submitted electronically via the City’s e-procurement portal by January 20, 2026, with a comprehensive package that meets all administrative, technical, and compliance conditions outlined in the solicitation and attachments.
