City of Nashua RFP 0929-041221
Air Quality and Landfill Gas Testing

1.0 Introduction

TRC is an internationally recognized service company, and has expertise in all aspects of air quality,
environmental liability consulting, pollution engineering, and landfill monitoring. We have extensive
experience with indoor air sampling, vapor intrusion studies, and landfill gas sampling including sampling of
the Shady Lane Landfill and New Searles Elementary School over the past 3 years.

2.0 Statement of Project Requirements

TRC understands this RFP is for the collection of landfill gas and indoor air samples to document the
continuing operation of the landfill gas collection system. In addition, the indoor air samples are to assess
for any possible vapor intrusion issues that might arise at the adjacent elementary school.

TRC has worked in numerous schools collecting indoor air samples, including the New Searles Elementary
School, and understands that we must work around the school schedule. As we have done for the past
three years, TRC plans on performing all the testing during school vacation weeks, during teacher workshop
days, after school hours, or other days or times deemed suitable by the City. TRC does not plan on
accessing the New Searles School while students are present.

Sampling activities will be coordinated a minimum of seven days in advance with the school Principal,
custodial staff, and City designated contact. TRC will provide quality assurance/quality control (QA/QC) of
all aspects of this program from the collection of samples through the final laboratory analytical reporting.
Any deviations or inconsistencies in the sampling or results will be explained in a memo format to the City.
If needed, TRC will meet with the City to discuss sampling results at no cost to the City.

The contract period will be from July 1, 2021 and end June 30, 2024, with the first sampling event occurring
in October 2021. A total of nine sampling events will occur during the contract period.

3.0 Scope of Services

TRC will collect landfill gas samples and indoor air samples three times per school year according to the
table presented in the RFP and included below. The first round of sampling will take place in October 2021
with the second happening in December 2021. Three rounds of sampling will occur in March, October and
December 2022 and 2023. Only one sampling event (March) will be part of this contract for 2024. Each
sampling event will include nine samples plus a blank sample for a total of ten samples per sampling event
and includes both instantaneous collection at the landfill gas collection system locations and 8-hour sample
collection within the school.

TRC has a dedicated QA/QC group focused on providing our clients with defensible data, from sample
collection through analytical reporting. Our QA/QC group is made up of experienced analytical chemists
with more than 30 years of relevant project experience.

Field data sheets and chain of custody forms will be reviewed for completeness and to ensure that the
proper collection techniques were followed. In addition, the laboratory analytical data package will be
reviewed to ensure the proper analytical methods were used and that the data are within acceptable limits.
The analytical instrument calibration, compound identification, precision and accuracy will all be reviewed.

The minimum detection limits (MDL) required for this program are listed in the following sections.

Method 3C & 25C Methane/Non-Methane Organics

The MDL for Methane using Method 3C is 0.5% or 0.50 ppmv. The reporting limit for the Non- Methane
organics using Method 25C reporting as carbon is 1% or Ippmv.

ASTM Method 5504 for Hydrogen Sulfide

The MDLfor Hydrogen Sulfide is 5.0 ppb or 0.005 mg/m?

With over 750 field, environmental scientists, engineering and permitting professional staff in the
Northeast Region, and approximately 6,000 staff nationwide, TRC can provide an exceptional depth of staff
for this program.

At no additional costs to the City, TRC is planning on assigning a team of three field personnel to the project
to ensure that there are multiple staff trained and oriented to the site. This will give a sufficient pool of staff
to respond as required. In addition, we have assigned an independent QA/QC chemist to review sample
collection notes and analytical data for usability. TRC's QA/QC group operates separately from our
operations groups to ensure independence from the project outcomes.
