Dunedin City Council Seeks Consultant for Landfill Gas System Expansion and Monitoring

The Dunedin City Council (DCC), through its Waste and Environmental team, is working to transform the city�s approach to waste by targeting reductions in waste to landfill and incineration of 50% by 2030 and at least 70% by 2040. The DCC�s Waste Futures Programme includes implementing an improved kerbside recycling and waste collection service and the construction of a new landfill.

It is anticipated that the new landfill will not be ready to accept waste until 2027/28 at the earliest. In the interim, the DCC has applied for resource consent to extend the life of Green Island Landfill. One of the critical parts of the Green Island Landfill infrastructure is the gas extraction system.

Landfill gas (LFG) generated by Green Island Landfill is collected by a series of gas wells and conveyed to a generator which uses the LFG as fuel to generate electricity. We seek to partner with a suitably qualified and experienced consultant to provide design and construction monitoring services for the expansion of the LFG system until closure of Green Island Landfill.

We also require the consultant to prepare and submit the annual unique emissions factor (UEF) applications to comply with the requirements of the Emissions Trading Scheme (ETS). We seek to partner with a Supplier for the long term with a contract of up to 7 years, subject to performance.

We want a Supplier that is proactive, allocates staff resources efficiently, provides accurate data, meets deadlines and can demonstrate a dynamic approach to their work.
