COST PROPOSAL FOR LIMITED
GROUNDWATER MONITORING AT CEFE VALENZUELA MUNICIPAL LANDFILL
FOR FISCAL YEAR 2015 - 2016
CORPUS CHRISTI, NUECES COUNTY,TEXAS
Dear Mr. Mikolajczk:
Tolunay-Wong Engineers, Inc. (TWE) is pleased to submit the following proposal to provide
groundwater monitoring services at the above-referenced facility for the 2015 semiannual
sampling event for the City of Corpus Christi's(City) fiscal year of 2015 to 2016.
Background
The Site is located southeast of Petronila, TX, and the active area comprises approximately 300
acres. The landfill is a Type I Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) facility that receives domestic
waste and wastewater treatment plant sludge. It is currently in active status and groundwater is
being monitored on a semiannual basis under the detection monitoring program as specified in
Title 30 Administrative Code (30 TAC ),¢330 Subchapter .1 Groundwater Monitoring and
Corrective Action. Constituents being monitored under this program include metals and volatile
organic compounds (VOC) listed in 40 CFR Part 258, Appendix 1. In the detection monitoring
program for this facility, groundwater analytical results are compared to background concentrations
that have been determined on an intrawell basis. Statistical background concentrations are
current up through 2014 and will not require any additional updates until the end of 2016.
Objective
The objective of this project is to implement the Groundwater Sampling and Analysis Plan
(GWSAP) which outlines the City of Corpus Christi's program for groundwater monitoring in
accordance with the requirements of 30 TAC Subchapter J. The groundwater-monitoring
program includes consistent sampling and analysis procedures that are designed to ensure
EXHIBIT"A"

Mr. Lawrence Mikolajczyk
TWE Proposal No. P1 5-E097
November 17, 2015
Page 2
monitoring results that provide an accurate representation of groundwater quality at the Cefe
Valenzuela facility.
Scone of Work
The Scope of Work for the fiscal year includes three tasks
1. Semiannual Detection Monitoring of the 30 monitoring wells (MW 1-19, 40-46 plus deep
wells MW-2B, MW-11B, MW-12B and MW-13B) for the 15 total metals and volatile
organic compounds specified in the current GWSAP. In keeping with prior years of
groundwater monitoring, iron, manganese, nitrate-nitrogen,ammonia-nitrogen, and dissolved
organic carbon will be analyzed to facilitate the identification of geochemical processes that
can mobilize metals, and which may assist with preparing alternate source demonstrations
when background is exceeded in a well. In addition, 6 samples (3 per event) will be
collected from the landfill leachate collection system to characterize the waste in terms of
monitored constituents. This will also assist in preparation of alternate source
demonstrations and contaminant fate and transport modeling.
2. Verification re-sampling for wells that exceed the statistically determined background
concentration limit.
3. Evaluation of detection monitoring data, identification and reporting of SSIs or alternate
sources, preparation of correspondence and submittals to TCEQ, including the Annual
Report. TWE will transmit two hard copies and 1 electronic copy of the report to the City
and three hard copies to the TCEQ.
The Scope of Work for this cost proposal will include the second semiannual sampling event in
2015,with sufficient project management and reporting to complete the task. Reporting for this
task will only include a letter notifying TCEQ if there is an exceedance, but it will not include
any follow-up verification sampling.
Schedule
TWE proposes to conduct the second semiannual sampling event for 2015 in
November/December. With authorization of the remaining budget (to be submitted under
separate cover)all remaining tasks scheduled for the 2015-2016 fiscal year will be completed.
Proposed Project Costs
TWE will conduct the limited scope of work on a time and material basis for a not-to-exceed
price of$24,900. A cost breakdown for the major tasks is summarized below.
Field Sampling Activities (includes 2 Verification Sampling Events)
Labor $ 8,450
ODCs $ 1,600

Analytical $ 11,370
Reporting $ 2.750
Project Management $ 730
Project Total $ 24,900
Limitations
The proposal presented above, including the Scope of Work and schedule, is contingent upon the
following assumptions:
• TWE will have necessary access to the site.
• Level D Personal Protective Equipment is adequate.
• Negotiations and/or meetings with TCEQ for any other issues related to the scope of
work as outlined in this proposal will not be required.
• Unanticipated delays beyond TWE's control will constitute a change order and will
be billed according to the attached fee schedule.
