2019 Landfill Gas Collection and Control System Expansion
To approve a contract with SCS Field Services of Reston, VA to construct an
expansion of the landfill gas collection system in the Phase J/II landfill in the
amount of $427,654. Funding will be through Department 168 Solid Waste;
Fund: Bond; Activity: Landfill Gas Expansion FY19.
Bid Tabulation
The City issued an Invitation to Bid for construction of an expansion and
modification to the landfill gas collection system in the Phase I/II landfill.
Periodic expansions of the gas collection system are required as the landfill
continues to be filled with waste. The Solid Waste Department’s engineering
firm, Sanborn Head and Associates, Inc. (SHA) prepared a construction design to
install nine (9) new horizontal gas collection wells, four (4) vertical landfill gas
collection wells with liquid pumping systems, Draintube surface collection on
selected areas of the landfill, and extend the main vacuum header. This expansion
of the gas collection system is required to control odors, mitigate fugitive methane
surface emissions and comply with the NHDES approved Operating Plan — Phase
II Secure Landfill Expansion and the Landfill Gas Collection System Enhanced
Monitoring Protocol/Standard Operating Procedures (EMP/SOP).
The City received bids from four (4) qualified vendors. Based on the low bid and
qualifications of SCS Field Services it is the recommendation of the
Superintendent of Solid Waste to accept SCS Field Services as the vendor to
perform the work listed above.
