City of Nashua, Public Works Division
Board of Public Works Meeting Date: October 27, 2016
Jeff Lafleur, Superintendent
Solid Waste Department
To approve a contract with Sanborn Head and Associates Inc. to begin the process
of permitting the Phase IV lined landfill with NHDES in the amount not to exceed
$300,000. Funding will be through Department 168 Solid Waste; Fund: Bond;
Activity: Landfill Expansion Phase III & IV.
Sole Source Memo, Sanborn Head and Associates Scope of work
The Superintendent of the Solid Waste Department and the Director of Public
Works recommend that the City begin the process of permitting the conceptual
Phase IV lined landfill with the New Hampshire Department of Environmental
Services (NHDES). The Phase IV landfill is to be sited at the Four Hills facility
in the valley formed by the closed MSW landfill and the Phase I lined landfill. It
is projected to cover approximately 27 acres, will provide the City with an
estimated waste disposal capacity of 2.6 million cubic yards, and extend the life
of the landfill by 20-plus years. Although the disposal capacity of this proposed
phase will not be needed for many years, it is recommended that the City begin
the permitting process now to avoid potential future changes to solid waste
regulations that could prohibit further landfill expansion. This expenditure covers
work to be performed in FY 2017. We expect that this project will take several
years to complete at an approximate total cost of $500,000.
