Description
The Wellford 2026 Landfill Expansion Project is a large‑scale civil‑engineering effort to enlarge the existing Class III landfill at 595 Little Mountain Road, Wellford, SC. The work includes extensive earth‑moving, site clearing, grading, structural fill, removal and replacement of unsuitable soils, installation of a low‑permeability clay liner, protective cover soils, HDPE geomembrane liner, drainage geocomposites, leachate collection and pump systems, and associated utility tie‑ins. The contract is evaluated 70 % on cost, 20 % on schedule, and 10 % on firm capabilities, and requires a 5 % bid bond. The County will award the contract after the Q&A period ends and bids are opened on 20 August 2026.
