Yes. For a municipal waste-to-energy (WTE) project, I’d prioritize firms that can act as the municipality’s independent owner’s advisor, rather than firms that primarily sell or operate a particular technology.
For a municipal procurement, I'd look for a team that can independently handle:
For a municipality, independence is especially important: I would require disclosure of relationships with WTE technology vendors, developers, operators and EPC contractors.
There is also a useful precedent in New Jersey: Hawkins Delafield & Wood reports serving as procurement/financing counsel to local and state governments on 50+ WTE projects, including projects in Essex, Union, Dutchess, Westchester and other jurisdictions.
If this is for a New Jersey municipality, I can narrow this to 5–8 firms that have actually worked on municipal WTE projects in NJ/NY/PA, including contact information, relevant project experience, and which ones I'd shortlist for an RFP.

If this is for a municipal project in the Mobile/Alabama Gulf Coast area, I’d start with these firms:
SCS Engineers, Mobile — Local Mobile office with solid-waste engineering, landfill-gas systems, and energy-recovery experience. This could be a strong fit if your project involves landfill gas-to-energy/RNG or broader solid-waste infrastructure.
Harbin Engineering, P.C. — Georgia-based specialist with documented experience evaluating waste-to-energy and waste-to-fuels technologies, including due diligence and permitting for innovative facilities.
Ramboll — Probably the strongest choice if you're considering a full-scale municipal MSW combustion facility. Ramboll reports 50+ years in WtE, nearly 200 new units/retrofits, and services spanning feasibility, technology evaluation, procurement, owner’s engineering, and implementation.
MSW Consultants, LLC — Particularly useful for the municipal/financial/planning side: waste characterization, feasibility studies, energy-recovery analysis, procurement, and solid-waste system planning.
Geosyntec's solid-waste practice — Offers solid-waste advisory/engineering services including WTE and emerging technologies, as well as planning, procurement, and stakeholder work.
JMG Engineering — A smaller specialist whose site identifies waste-to-energy as its core expertise; its president has 24+ years in the field.
For a municipal project, I'd separate the consultant from the technology vendor initially. Have the consultant independently evaluate:
Ramboll + MSW Consultants would be an especially interesting combination for a large municipal feasibility/procurement effort, while JMG or Harbin could be worth approaching if you want a more specialized WTE technical advisor.
If you tell me the municipality, approximate tons/day, and whether you're considering combustion vs. gasification/pyrolysis vs. landfill-gas/biogas, I can narrow this to 5–7 firms with relevant municipal project experience and contact information.

If this is for a municipal waste-to-energy project in the Phoenix/Arizona area, I’d shortlist firms with demonstrated municipal solid-waste, energy-recovery, and permitting experience—not just general sustainability consultants.
Civil & Environmental Consultants, Inc. (Phoenix) — particularly strong local fit. Its Phoenix office originated around solid-waste engineering and provides facility planning/design, permitting, operational consulting, and environmental services. CEC also has documented public-sector and solid-waste experience.
SCS Engineers, Tempe — worth serious consideration if the project involves landfill gas-to-energy, anaerobic digestion, renewable natural gas (RNG), or other biogas recovery. SCS combines solid-waste/landfill engineering with a renewable-energy practice.
Brown and Caldwell (Phoenix) — a good choice if the project involves wastewater/solids, anaerobic digestion, biosolids, or broader utility infrastructure. Its published capabilities specifically include waste-to-energy.
Arc5 Environmental Consulting — a smaller specialist that is unusually focused on waste-to-energy and bioenergy. Its principal has worked on more than 60 projects involving biomass power, biogas, biofuels, traditional WTE, emerging conversion technologies, and biosolids. The firm is based in Sedona, so it isn't Phoenix-local, but it could be valuable as a specialist subconsultant.
Stanley Consultants (Phoenix) — a broader engineering firm with a local solid-waste engineering capability and the scale to participate in a major municipal infrastructure program.
The City of Mesa has already pursued a food-to-energy initiative involving anaerobic digestion/biogas. Mesa says its feasibility work involved Arcadis and subconsultants, along with Arizona State University and local food-waste partners. www.mesaaz.gov The city subsequently issued an RFQ for its Food to Energy Phase 2 project.
That makes the Mesa experience especially relevant if your project is organic waste → biogas/RNG/electricity, rather than conventional mass-burn municipal solid-waste incineration.
For a municipal procurement, I'd look for a lead consultant capable of handling:
My initial call list would be CEC + SCS + Brown and Caldwell, with Arc5 brought in if you need a highly specialized WTE technology/permitting expert.
If you tell me (a) the municipality/location, (b) approximate tons/day, (c) whether the feedstock is MSW, food/organic waste, sewage sludge, or landfill gas, and (d) whether you're seeking a feasibility study or full design/procurement support, I can narrow this to 5–8 firms with relevant project experience and current contact information, including firms outside Arizona that may be better suited to a large WTE facility.
