Landfill Gasworks Contract Award
Motion 5 · Standing Committee on City Finance and Services, March 8, 2023
Summary
- Council authorized a three-year prequalified contractor program for gasworks and leachate services at the Vancouver Landfill in Delta, with an estimated total value of $13 million plus taxes.
- The previous open-tender approach had caused problems including safety incidents, quality issues, missed deadlines, and legal disputes; a prequalified list of five vendors is intended to improve reliability and competition.
- Staff will be able to award individual contracts under this program without returning to Bid Committee or Council for each one, representing a deviation from standard procurement policy.
- Councillor Montague declared a conflict of interest and left the meeting for this item; Councillor Carr abstained.
