Ground Maintenance Service 4 X Closed Landfill Sites Situated within the Geographical Region of West Northamptonshire Council

West Northamptonshire Council is seeking quotations for Grounds Maintenance Services at primarily four closed landfill sites located across West Northamptonshire. Each landfill site has above ground assets consisting of monitoring boreholes, leachate & gas extraction wells and other plant and equipment which need to be managed, maintained, and monitored. The size of the sites ranges from 0.8 to 13 hectares and predominantly consists of rough grassland bordered by hedges, trees and bramble scrub.

The Council has identified a requirement for Grounds Maintenance Service to include.

A Routine work

1. Strimming around monitoring points and other assets
2. Mowing large areas of rough pasture
3. Mowing paths through the rough pasture
4. Strimming leachate treatment compound including small reed bed
5. Strimming back of areas of brush/bramble

11. Litter picking and collection & disposal of fly-tipped rubbish
12. Tree surgery, cutting back of woody shrubs, hedges, and tree branches along internal perimeter fencing

Frequency of the routine work will be mostly weather dependant but is predicted, based on previous years that each site will need to be visited for routine maintenance at least twice during the months between late spring and early autumn, excluding Farthinghoe which is at the councils request. To give an indication, in recent year's routine visits have been undertaken in May and August, to coincide with the quarterly environmental monitoring undertaken in June and September. Please note that there are no guarantees as to how many routine visits will be required by the Council and call offs will be made as and when required.
