06-0009



It is requested that Council authorize the execution of a contract with Jordan,

Jones & Goulding, Inc., for engineering services related to the closure of the

Old Camp Landfill.



The City has purchased approximately 77 acres that had been previously used as

a landfill. The landfill closure requirements of the Georgia Environmental

Protection Division (EPD) were not complied with, or at least not documented,

and the EPD has not recognized the landfill as formally closed. The City has

full intentions of closing this landfill according to EPD guidelines, as

contained in a previous consent order for an adjacent, already closed, portion

of the landfill.



The contracted vendor will provide: a closure/post-closure care and river-bank

stabilization plan, with the plans being approved by EPD; Construction

Administration and Construction Quality Assurance (CQA) Services during the

closure of the landfill; the implementation and completion of the river-bank

stabilization plan will also be included.



RFP specifications were mailed and posted on the City?s website; three

proposals were received on March 10, 2006:



Jordan, Jones & Goulding (Columbus, GA)

Moreland Altobelli Associates, Inc. (Norcross, GA)

Weston Solutions, Inc. (Norcross, GA)



The proposals were reviewed by the Evaluation Committee, which consisted of

representatives from the Public Services Department and Engineering

Department. A representative from the Community Reinvestment Department served

in an advisory capacity. Jordan Jones & Goulding, Inc., received the highest

ranking; therefore, the committee requested a cost proposal from the vendor in

order to begin negotiations.



The City?s Procurement Ordinance, Article 3-111, Architectural/Engineering and

Land Surveying Services, governs the RFP process. This process insures the

City obtains the most qualified offeror to provide the equipment, supplies

and/or services required. During the process of an RFP, there is no formal

opening, due to the possibility of negotiated components of the proposal. In

the event Council does not approve the recommended offeror, no proposal

responses or any negotiated components are made public until after the award of

the contract. If Council does not approve the recommended offeror,

negotiations will begin with the next highest-ranked, responsive offeror.
