Memorandum
Attached for your review and approval is a resolution to approve a construction contract between the City of Ann Arbor and D&R Earthmoving, LLC in the amount of $236,704.35 for the Landfill Cover Improvements Project (RFP# 23-20).
The City of Ann Arbor Landfill, located at the Wheeler Center property, ceased landfilling operations in 1992. Under Part 115 of the Natural Resources and Environmental Protection Act administered by EGLE, the City of Ann Arbor is required to maintain and monitor the landfill cap to ensure there are no leachate outbreaks and escaping methane emissions. If there are issues with the cap, they must be repaired. Routine inspections have identified areas where settling is occurring. This requires additional clay and grading to avoid separation of the cap and to mitigate potential methane emissions. Due to another project, approximately 18,180 cubic yards of highly impermeable clay has been stockpiled at the Wheeler Center; therefore, we were able to take advantage of available reuse of materials and schedule the project sooner than anticipated. This project will make the necessary improvements to remain in compliance, including regrading and restoration.
RFP# 23-20 was advertised on the City's website and on the Michigan Inter-Governmental Trade Network (MITN) website. Six (6) proposals were received and publicly opened on April 20, 2023.
