Janesville awards $976,100 contract for landfill gas blower, flare building and infrastructure replacement
Summary
Council awarded the landfill gas blower, flare building and related infrastructure replacement contract to Landfill Drilling and Piping for $976,100 after receiving a staff presentation on necessity and bids.
The Janesville Common Council on June 9 awarded a contract (bid schedule D, C2025-16) for a landfill gas blower, flare building and infrastructure replacement project to Landfill Drilling and Piping. City engineering staff presented the project and recommended award to the lowest responsible bidder.
Why it matters: The work replaces and expands infrastructure used to collect and manage landfill gas — a byproduct of waste decomposition — and is needed to service future landfill phases.
Council action and facts - The project was advertised and received three bids. The low bidder — Landfill Drilling and Piping — submitted the lowest combined bid (base bid plus alternate) at $976,100. - City Engineer Brad Redd recommended awarding the contract to Landfill Drilling and Piping and described the award as part of continued operation and expansion of the landfill gas collection system. - The council voted unanimously to award the contract.
What staff told council Brad Redd, the city engineer, said the bid appears in line with current market pricing for specialized facilities of this type and that the city’s estimate had been higher than the low bid. Redd noted there have been relatively few of these facilities built in Wisconsin recently and that market conditions and who bids can affect final pricing.
What happens next Staff indicated the award will proceed to contract execution and the project will be funded per the memo provided to council. Work scheduling and construction oversight will be managed by the engineering division.
