The structural integrity of the County of Santa Cruz (County) disposal site facilities and infrastructure is essential to the safe handling of solid waste (refuse and recyclable materials). Capital improvement projects are required to safeguard and expand the County's facilities. These projects often require environmental engineering services on an "on-call" or "as-needed" basis. The County also owns two municipal solid waste landfills that require ongoing environmental compliance monitoring and reporting for ground, surface and storm water, structural integrity and closure maintenance. The County may also require geotechnical engineering services for its other facilities and infrastructure.
