About this tender

The Regional District of Central Kootenay (RDCK) operates a composting facility at the Creston Landfill. Leachate from the windrows (the liquid released from the organic waste, which is aerated and heated) drains to a lined catchment pond. Leachate volume falls through evaporation in hot, dry weather and rises during high precipitation. When collected leachate approaches 120 m3, it must be pumped out by vacuum truck and transported to the Town of Creston Wastewater Treatment Plant for disposal in its septage pits. The services sought are this pumping and hauling work. The RDCK is requesting quotes for a two-year contract, with an option of up to three one-year extensions. Services will be ordered on an as-needed, when-needed basis, with no commitment to a number of requests or volumes in any year. The process may result in one or more contracts being awarded.
