This Request for Proposals (the “RFP”) is an invitation by The Corporation of the Town of The Blue Mountains (the “Town”) to prospective proponents to submit proposals for Engineering Services for Thornbury Landfill Reclamation Plan, as further described in Section A of the RFP Particulars (Appendix B) (the “Deliverables”).

A closed (~1988) 2 hectare landfill owned by the municipality is in the settlement area of Thornbury, at the intersection of King Street West and Lansdowne Street North. The Town desires to explore the options and related costs associated with reclaiming this landfill impacted land and providing long term protection to surrounding land and the natural environment. This project will involve the review of completed investigations, estimating quantities of waste and soil for removal, proposing restoration techniques and evaluating options based on expected outcomes and costs.
