DESCRIPTION/BACKGROUND:
On November 7, 2023, the Board of County Commissioners approved a contract with Jones Edmonds & Associates, Inc. (JEA) to provide professional consulting services related to the development of master plans, technical studies, and implementation of recommendations for Baseline Landfill.
This task order provides for engineering, design, permitting, and project management services for the Baseline Landfill Expansion (Phases 1 and 2) and East Property Development. Phase 1 of the Baseline Landfill Expansion involves reconfiguring the existing lined Cells III-A, III-B, and III-C and adding a vertical expansion over the unlined Urban Cell within the current landfill footprint. Phase 2 proposes a lateral expansion of approximately 16 acres within the existing property.
The work includes developing design plans to obtain the required FDEP permits, preparing construction-level documents with sufficient detail for competitive bidding, and providing bid-phase assistance. For the East Property, services include site plan design to support railroad crossing design and permitting, ERP application, and land development review to secure necessary regulatory approvals. Construction-phase services will be addressed under a separate scope.
Attached is a draft contract for review. Upon approval at today’s meeting, it will be sent to JEA for signature and, once returned, forwarded to Legal and then to the Chairman and Clerk for final signatures.
