Tomoka Landfill Roadway Improvement and Scale Addition

Volusia County is soliciting bids under solicitation number 27-B-09CW for the Tomoka Landfill Roadway Improvement and Scale Addition project. The primary objective is to develop the Southeast Expansion Area (SEA) within the existing Tomoka Farms Road Landfill to secure over 100 years of Class I solid waste disposal capacity. The scope of work includes demolishing portions of existing roadways, constructing the SEA entrance, installing an additional scale and bypass lane, paving perimeter roads, and building a parallel gravel roadway for maintenance shop access. The contractor is responsible for providing all necessary labor, equipment, and materials, while ensuring the protection of existing infrastructure and implementing a Maintenance of Traffic plan to avoid disrupting active landfill operations. The contract requires strict adherence to environmental and safety standards, including the Lead Based Paint Prevention Act, OSHA, NFPA, and the provision of Material Safety Data Sheets per Florida Statutes. Award criteria are based on the lowest responsive and responsible bidder, with a focus on price and compliance with all contract documents. Key requirements include the submission of payment and performance bonds, adherence to ASTM sampling and testing standards, and compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act and Title VI of the Civil Rights Act. Materials must be delivered in original manufacturer packaging no more than one month before use and stored according to specific preservation guidelines. The project is subject to the appropriation of funds under Chapter 129 of the Florida Statutes, and non-binding mediation is required before any litigation can be initiated.
