Trash Removal Services

The Monongahela River floating debris and trash recovery project in Morgantown, West Virginia, requires a comprehensive technical, operational, and financial feasibility study. The issuing agency is seeking engineering designs for in-river structures, trash booms, conveyance systems, and collection points to manage riverborne waste. This initiative aims to solve the problem of debris accumulation near a local dam while ensuring regulatory compliance and environmental protection. The scope of work covers conceptual and detailed engineering, equipment specification, and procurement support for specialized vessels like boats, skimmers, and conveyors. The agency requires systems integration for advanced technologies, including semi-autonomous collection platforms, hydro and solar power systems, sensors, and remote monitoring. Additionally, the selected partner must handle operations and maintenance planning, lifecycle cost estimates, and coordination with the US Army Corps of Engineers for work within the dam's restricted zone. Environmental and permitting studies must address habitat impact assessments, water quality considerations, and mitigation measures. The agency is also requesting non-engineering solutions such as debris management strategies, community engagement campaigns, waste disposition planning, and data analytics for performance monitoring. Finally, the project demands a detailed breakdown of all material, design, construction, and long-term maintenance costs, alongside pilot testing plans for phased implementation. Eligible bidders must perform all work onsite within the United States. The agency accepts digital proposal submissions via email or through their online portal. No specific budget is disclosed, as the agency is currently looking for proposals to define the financial scope.
