Council approves groundwater well installation proposal at municipal landfill for post-closure monitoring
Summary
Council accepted a proposal from Fairgram Engineering & Environmental to install and abandon groundwater monitoring wells at the municipal landfill, not to exceed $40,900, as part of continuing post-closure care requirements.
Jacksonville City Council approved a resolution accepting a proposal from Fairgram Engineering & Environmental for groundwater well installation and abandonment at Municipal Landfill No. 3 in an amount not to exceed $40,900.
Council members described the work as continuing maintenance necessary for post-closure care of the landfill and said the city must continue such monitoring work before the landfill’s post-closure status can be finalized. The mayor’s office said the work is intended to maintain compliance with post-closure obligations and to “maybe move the needle someday to get it closed,” but emphasized that closure will not occur without ongoing maintenance.
The resolution authorized waiving competitive bidding and accepting the Fairgram proposal. Council discussion was brief and procedural; the council asked no substantive questions on scope or schedule during the meeting. The motion to accept the Fairgram proposal was made and seconded on the record and the council approved the resolution.
Staff listed the work as routine post-closure care; next steps are execution of the proposal and scheduling of the field work.
