title
Ratification of Purchase Order M116123, Emergency Installation of Two New Gas Extraction Wells at the Landfill, with SCS Field Services, Inc., in the total amount of $118,000. ([Utilities Department Solid Waste Division] Procurement Division)
body
PROCUREMENT:
The project includes the installation of two new landfill gas extraction wells and associated collection pipes on Cell 9-12 at the Orange County landfill. An expansion of the landfill gas collection system, through the installation of these wells, is required to meet permit and regulatory requirements related to quarterly surface emissions monitoring performed at the landfill.
FUNDING:
Funding is available in account number 4420-038-1021-3197.
APPROVALS:
The Utilities Department concurs with this recommendation.
REMARKS:
During the third quarter 2024 monitoring event, multiple monitoring locations exceeded 500 parts per million of methane three times, thus requiring an expansion of the gas collection system on Cell 9-12 within 120 days from the initial exceedance.
