City of Nashua, Public Works Division
Board of Public Works Meeting Date: January 31, 2019
Jeff Lafleur, Superintendent
Solid Waste Department
Landfill Gas Expansion Engineering Services
To approve the engineering services with Sanborn Head and Associates, Inc. in an
amount not to exceed $28,700 for the 2019 landfill gas system expansion.
Funding will be through Department 168 Solid Waste; Fund: Bond; Activity:
Landfill Gas Expansion FY19.
The Solid Waste Department is going through the process of designing and going
out to bid for the next phase of the landfill gas system expansion. Sanborn Head is
the lead engineering firm for all constructions phases with direction of the Solid
Waste Department. The quote includes Design and Bid documents, Construction
oversite, and CQA report/record drawing preparation for submittal to DES.
Sanborn Head and Associates (SHA) is the City’s primary engineering consultant
for landfill and solid waste related issues, including landfill gas management,
design and construction.
The City also utilizes SHAs Landfill Gas Management Suite (LFGMS) software
program to assist us with monitoring, managing, operating the landfill gas
collection and control system at the Four Hills Landfill. The data collected in
LFGMS is included in tri-annual monitoring reports submitted to NHDES and is
required by the Standard Operating Procedures/Enhanced Monitoring Procedures
Plan approved by NHDES.
As such, they have a thorough understanding of the issues and requirements of the
Four Hills facility and other closed City landfills, and provide consistent, high
quality engineering and consulting services to the department in a timely manner.
They have demonstrated superior abilities relative to regulatory reporting,
permitting, design and construction oversight. Therefore, they are considered a
sole source for these services.
The Solid Waste Superintendent and the Environmental Engineer recommend
awarding Sanborn Head and Associates of Concord, NH the contract for these
services.
