BACKGROUND
Sanitation and McCommas Bluff Landfill has been providing disposal and other services to the residents of Dallas and the Dallas Fort Worth area since October 1980. The McCommas Bluff Landfill is a 2,048-acre property, of which 965 acres are permitted for waste disposal. As one cell is being filled, another is being planned and prepared for use. The Department of Sanitation Services utilizes a Capital Improvement Fund, supported by landfill revenues, to fund waste cell development projects. All new waste cells are constructed in accordance with state and federal regulations. The purpose of this construction project is to allow Sanitation Services to continue providing landfill disposal services to the residents of the city by constructing the next planned phase of landfill cell construction at the McCommas Bluff Landfill. This next phase of landfill cell construction (Cell 7A/7B) is 57 acres with a volume of 13 million cubic yards. This project will add approximately five years of constructed airspace for landfill purposes.
Hammett Excavation, Inc. has had no contractual activities with the City of Dallas for the past three years.
