The Authority is issuing a Design, Build and Operate Request for Expressions of Interest (“REOI”) to assist its Member Jurisdictions with Solar Installations on Municipal Solid Waste Property and Infrastructure AND/OR Systems for Beneficial Use of Landfill Gas for mainly Small, Closed and/or Rural Landfills: Utilizing Standard or Mobile Turbines/Engines, Compressed Natural Gas/Renewable Natural Gas and/or Power Purchase Services (e.g., Power Purchase Agreements or “PPAs”) (altogether “Services”).

These Services would cover the responsibilities for managing any solar installation, and/or landfill gas (“LFG”) after it runs through the Member Jurisdiction blower system (for existing flares onsite), for the landfills with flares and blower systems. Member Jurisdiction existing landfill gas operation, monitoring and maintenance staff/contractors would be expected to perform their existing functions, as is, for the existing landfill gas collection system and for all gas before it reaches the blower onsite, as applicable. The Authority is seeking interest in these Services for landfills within the Member Jurisdiction footprint.

This REOI is being issued in order to help gain an understanding of companies or other entities (“Contractors”) that would be interested in performing these Services. If the Authority determines that there is sufficient interest and ability to provide these Services, the Authority may issue a Request for Proposals (“RFP”) to provide that Service or negotiate a contract directly with an interested Contractor that has responded to this REOI. This REOI is not intended to provide sufficient detail in order to select a Contractor for the Service.

Responses to the REOI are due by Monday, June 24, 2024, at 4:00 pm (local time). Submission requirements are shown in Section D of the REOI. The Authority will make a determination as to whether to progress to a RFP process, enter into competitive negotiations with one or more Contractors, or to discontinue with the REOI. All Contractors that respond to the REOI will be notified of the Authority’s determination in writing.

This REOI was originally issued on 10-12-23 and was revised on 3-22-24.
