Table Bluff Landfill Repair and Rehabilitation Project

The Table Bluff Landfill Repair and Rehabilitation Project is an urgent environmental remediation initiative by Humboldt County to address deteriorating infrastructure at a closed landfill site that ceased operations in 1979. The primary objective is to prevent leachate discharge into Humboldt Bay tributaries before the onset of the winter wet season by repairing the landfill cap and leach field through fill placement, grading, vegetation clearing, drainage enhancements, piping replacement, and leach field restoration. These actions aim to significantly reduce precipitation infiltration, decrease leachate generation, restore the leach field’s capacity, and reestablish the facility’s ability to capture and treat leachate to the maximum practicable extent, thereby protecting public trust resources and ensuring long-term environmental compliance. The project is classified under emergency statutory and categorical exemptions under California law, enabling expedited execution without requiring full environmental review, and is not subject to standard Federal Acquisition Regulation clauses due to its status as a local public works initiative. The work will be performed exclusively at the Table Bluff Landfill located on Hookton Road in Humboldt County, California, with GPS coordinates 40.6893 latitude and -124.2384 longitude, and no new waste will be accepted. While the contract value, delivery schedules, pricing, and specific award methodology are not disclosed, the urgency of the environmental threat imposes an implicit time constraint tied to seasonal weather patterns. The Humboldt County Public Works Department, overseen by the Board of Supervisors, is the contracting agency, with Hank Seemann, Deputy Director of Environmental Services, serving as the primary point of contact. No formal evaluation factors, special contract requirements, subcontracting clauses, or offeror certifications are included in the documentation, reflecting a streamlined procurement process aligned with emergency public works exemptions. There is no indication of a solicitation number, contract type, or formal submission process beyond general contact details, underscoring the project’s reliance on regulatory exemptions to bypass standard procurement formalities while ensuring immediate action to mitigate ecological risks.
