SUMMARY
The City of Augusta is issuing RFQ 225024 for Municipal Solid Waste Management services at the Hatch Hill Solid Waste Facility. The City is seeking a partner to optimize the use of landfill airspace and manage operations at the 400-plus acre site, which currently processes approximately 50,000 tons of waste annually. Key project elements include a proposed vertical increase license amendment to add 600,000 tons (13 years) of capacity, management of a leachate collection system (11M gallons annually), and potential reactivation of an off-line gas-to-electricity generator. The estimated cost for the vertical expansion is $17 million, covering landfill cell construction, geomembrane systems, and earthwork. Submissions are due March 13, 2025. The City intends to retain ownership while sharing operational responsibilities and liabilities through a future partnership agreement.
