Previous Board/Board Committee Actions:

By Resolution Number (No.) 11-170 (December 6, 2011), the Board of Supervisors (BOS) approved Department of Transportation (DOT) Agreement No. 110087/BOS Agreement No. 11-151, Professional Services Agreement with SWT Engineering, Inc., for preparation of construction plans, specifications and estimates for the final closure of South Coast Landfill.  By Resolution No. 22-052 (March 1, 2022), the BOS authorized DOT to advertise and award DOT Contract No. 220001 for the South Coast Final Closure Construction Project.                      

 

Summary of Request

South Coast Landfill (SCLF) is an inactive disposal site (ceased fill operations in 2000) located on 47.65 acres, of which approximately six acres were utilized for non-hazardous refuse disposal operations.  The Final Closure/Post-Closure Maintenance Plan for SCLF) was approved by CalRecycle in March 2017.  Closure waste discharge requirements were issued by the North Coast Regional Water Quality Control Board in June 2021 and the closure project is ready for construction.  DOT Contract No. 220001 for the South Coast Landfill (SCLF) Final Closure Construction Project was not awarded due to bids coming in higher than available funding.  It is uncertain when sufficient funding will be available to perform the closure project and deferred maintenance that was anticipated to be completed during final closure construction still needs to be performed.  Maintenance needs include management of vegetation and downed trees, access road and drainage repairs, and leachate tank replacement.  DOT will prepare and administer construction plans, specifications, estimates, and contract documents for DOT Contract No. 230026, for the South Coast Landfill Maintenance Project.  Funding to accommodate the maintenance costs is available in the Landfill Closure Fund and has been budgeted through Budget Unit 4511 (Fiscal Year 2023/24).

 

Alternative Action/Motion:

Postpone award of the contract and further delay landfill maintenance activities, which will be out of compliance with state and federal laws.
