Ada County awards landfill scrubber contract to Clear Technologies LLC

The Ada County Board of Commissioners voted Dec. 23 to award RFP 26014 — a procurement for landfill scrubber media — to Clear Technologies LLC after the countys evaluation committee ranked Clear Technologies first with a score of 84. Procurement staff read the committees recommendation and the board approved the award.

Procurement presented the final rankings and scores: Clear Technologies LLC (84), CARB USA LLC (80.93), Interra Global (73.97) and MV Technologies (62.51). Clean Harbors and Merrichem Technology were determined to be nonresponsive and excluded from ranking, the procurement representative said. The evaluation committees methodology weighed demonstrated competence, qualifications and price, and staff said the process is outlined in Idaho statute.

Commissioner comments focused on transparency of the evaluation process; the procurement representative described the scoring and confirmed the highest‑ranked proposer was recommended for award. The board motion to accept the evaluation teams recommendation and award the contract to Clear Technologies carried without recorded dissent.

The procurement letter and evaluation scores were read into the record; the contract award will proceed through the countys standard contracting steps before execution.
