Request for Proposals - Landfill Gas Beneficial Use Project NMLF

The City of Montgomery has issued solicitation PW-5-27 seeking qualified developers to finance, design, permit, construct, own, operate, maintain, and decommission a landfill gas beneficial use project at the North Montgomery Landfill. The objective is to maximize the recovery of landfill gas while ensuring regulatory compliance with the Alabama Department of Environmental Management, public safety, and the preservation of landfill operations. Proposers may suggest various commercially demonstrated alternatives, including Renewable Natural Gas, electricity generation, high-Btu beneficial use, or direct-use projects. The anticipated agreement term is twenty years, and the selected developer will be responsible for all infrastructure, including pipelines, utilities, and environmental approvals. Proposals are due by November 19, 2026, and must remain valid for 180 days. The City will evaluate submissions based on technical reliability and financial sustainability, considering both owner-paid and developer-funded operation and maintenance alternatives. Key requirements include the provision of audited financial statements for the last three years, a detailed logic-linked project schedule, and comprehensive financial and performance security, such as construction bonds and decommissioning security. The developer must also provide secure real-time visibility into operational parameters and adhere to strict site safety and cybersecurity standards. Selection is not binding until all required agreements are executed, and the City may negotiate with the highest-ranked proposer or multiple candidates.
