Gila County seeks proposals from licensed, qualified contractors for construction of a new landfill cell at the Russell Gulch Landfill.

The Gila County Russell Gulch Landfill (the "Facility"), located approximately one (1) mile west of Globe, Arizona, is an 88-acre site that provides municipal waste disposal services to the communities and County residences in Gila County. This construction project will allow this active landfill to continue to provide these services. The construction of the additional landfill cell (3B) and surface impoundment construction also involves removal of a large steel-framed storage structure and site improvements to make room for the new cell in addition to required earthwork and installation of a geosynthetic liner system. Landfill operations shall continue throughout the duration of the project.
