What the buyer is requesting
Details
East Gippsland Shire Council (Council) seeks to engage a suitably qualified Design & Construct Contractor to expand and optimise landfill gas (LFG) collection systems at two sites:

• Separable Portion 1 (SP1) – Lakes Entrance Landfill (LEL), and

• Separable Portion 2 (SP2) – Bairnsdale Regional Landfill (BRL).

Both sites have existing LFG infrastructure and require additional vertical extraction wells, header upgrades, and improved condensate management to support compliance, operational performance, and future ACCU opportunities.
Background information / Compatibility requirements
Details
The works are driven by:

• Gas exceedances identified through monitoring at LEL and BRL

• EPA Victoria BPEM requirements for gas capture and environmental protection

• ACCU (Australian Carbon Credit Units) scheme opportunities, requiring improved gas capture and quantification

• Council’s 2030 emission reduction initiatives

Question:
Good morning,

To ensure the accuracy and suitability of our methodology, could you please respond to the following questions -

What is the current flare capacity, and what are the average gas composition and flow data for the past six months?

Please provide base liner as constructed details – dxf or dwg file.

Please provide Top of Cap (TOC) as constructed details – dxf or dwg file

Please provide base liner and Top of Cap construction details.

Please provide the current GCS including perimeter bores as a .dwg / .dxf

Please provide well balancing data from the past 6 months.

Please provide the current well installation logs.

What are the quantities of waste landfill? Please provide a yearly breakdown if possible.

Type of waste – MSW, C&I, C&D

Please provide any available NGERS reporting or gas modeling.

Does the Council have a preference for infrastructure to be trenched into the cap or surface laid?

Can drilling waste be disposed of at BRL free of charge? Will waste from LEL need to be transported to BRL?

Is there a Traffic Management Plan for the site?

Are there more details surrounding the BRL Cap Interface – such as pipe sizing and tie in locations to the GCS?

Does the Council have a copy of the current landfill licenses?

Thank you for your assistance.

Question:
Is the council interested in Horizontal Wells in the active cells?

Answered on 19/Mar/2026 09:49 AM:


Answer: “No, Council has previously implemented horizontal gas wells within active landfill cells as part of operational gas management. The current tender scope is limited to gas management works within closed landfill cells only. If a future need arises for additional gas extraction works within active cells, Council will engage with the market separately at that time.”
