Overview

Optimising landfill and haulage solutions through active tenderer engagement. John Davis, Infrastructure Transaction Network


Details

Since 2014, Mackay Regional Council (Council) has been renewing its suite of waste management service contracts which were all approaching their contract expiry. The most significant of these was the tender for the bulk waste haulage and landfill operation; which was awarded in December 2016. The services required include operating a bulk haulage fleet, loading at the Paget Transfer Station, transferring that waste to the Hogan’s Pocket landfill and the operation of the landfill. The tender approach provided opportunities to tenderers to optimise both the haulage component, against disclosed Council capital investment criteria; and the landfill leachate management solution. The approach taken allowed Council to proceed with a $2 million leachate system capital upgrade, coincident with the tender award; confident that this was the best value lifecycle cost solution.
