City of Corpus Christi SCS ENGINEERS
1 BACKGROUND
Based upon the scope awarded to SCS Engineers from RFQ 2018-01, this proposal has been
prepared to cover air compliance and landfill gas collection and control system (GCCS)
operation, maintenance, and monitoring (OM&M) services at the City of Corpus Christi's
(City's) solid waste facilities. The facilities covered under this proposal include the following:
• The Cefe Valenzuela Landfill(Cefe); and
• The J.C. Elliott Landfill and Transfer Station(JCE).
Both Landfills have GCCS' and Cefe is fully subject to federal New Source Performance
Standard(NSPS) requirements for operation, monitoring, and reporting of its GCCS.
This proposal has been divided into several tasks to accomplish routine work needed between
2019 and 2021. The tasks shown at the beginning cover air compliance and reporting work
while the latter tasks cover GCCS OM&M services. Tasks are also subdivided by site (i.e., a
separate task is provided for the emissions inventory for both Cefe and JCE as opposed to having
one combined task for both inventories).

City of Corpus Christi SCS ENGINEERS
2 SCOPE OF SERVICES
TASK 1 — CEFE EMISSIONS INVENTORY UPDATE/FEE
REPORTING
A formal emissions inventory is filed annually for Cefe per TCEQ requirements to report
emissions annually. This task will include preparation of this inventory and filing the emissions
fee remittance form in 2019, 2020, and 2021.
For this task, in January of each year, SCS will gather the information needed to estimate the
prior calendar year's emissions from Cefe. Some of this will overlap with the information
needed to estimate GHG emissions(Task 2) also, so one list will be prepared for both tasks.
Upon receipt of the necessary information, SCS will prepare emissions spreadsheets and enter
these emissions into TCEQ's State of Texas Environmental Electronic Reporting System
(STEERS). Upon completion of entering the prior calendar year's data, SCS will provide the
calculations in PDF format for your review and work with you to address any comments and
certify the STEERS data on to TCEQ prior to the March 3151 deadline each year. We will upload
pertinent calculations into STEERS for TCEQ's reference.
In April of each year the City will receive an emissions fee remittance form from the TCEQ
since the Landfill holds a Title V permit. Upon receipt of this form, SCS will complete it on the
City's behalf, using the estimated prior year's emissions from the inventory. We will also
estimate the amount that the City can be expected to be invoiced for in November of each year
for the City's budgetary planning.
TASK 2 — CEFE GREENHOUSE GAS REPORTING SERVICES
As part of Task 2's services, SCS will prepare the required reporting associated with the Federal
mandatory GHG reporting rules for the prior year's calendar year GHG emissions for Cefe. This
work includes the preparation and submittal of the required GHG emissions estimates and
associated information required by the GHG reporting rule. The deadline for this submittal is
March 3155 of each year.
SCS will have much of the information necessary to complete the GHG emissions estimates
based on prior work. However, we will contact you regarding the additional information needed
(along with any TCEQ emissions inventory information needed from Task 1). Online reporting
will be performed with our XML formatted submittal. SCS will work with the City and enter all
online information for the City's review and certification.
When the reporting has been completed, SCS will provide a memorandum for your files
including backup calculation spreadsheets and pertinent assumptions.

City of Corpus Christi SCS ENGINEERS
TASK 3 — CEFE TITLE V REPORTING
Cefe's Title V permit requires reporting in the form of two semi-annual deviation reports each
year and an annual compliance certification. For this task, SCS will prepare and file these
reports on behalf of the City (with the City's Responsible Official's signatures). SCS will track
the required submittal deadlines and as part of our due diligence with the City to determine if
there are any issues, perform a site audit with each semi-annual event. For this audit SCS will
send someone to the Site for a visit to go over the records needed and perform a site tour. These
visits to Cefe (two per year) will also encompass J.C. Elliott. Any discovered deviations will be
explained and included as such in the Title V paperwork. Upon completion of all paperwork and
receipt of the City's signature page, SCS will transmit the appropriate paperwork to TCEQ and,
for the annual certification, to EPA. SCS will also provide a memorandum summarizing the site
audit for the City's files— this memorandum will be sealed by a professional engineer registered
in the State of Texas.
TASK 4 — CEFE NSPS/SSM REPORTING
For this task SCS will prepare reports for two semi-annual NSPS/SSM reporting events due
during each calendar year. At the end of each reporting period, SCS will obtain all monitoring
information required for reporting from SCS' gas system operations team.
Upon completion, a draft copy of each semi-annual report will be submitted to the City for
review, comment, and appropriate signatures. The NSPS/SSM reporting will be combined with
the required Title V permit reporting so that only one overall report is required semi-annually.
Upon receipt of comments and the executed signature pages, SCS will compile a PDF of the
final document and prepare the appropriate copies for transmittal to TCEQ, and other required
regulatory agencies, as well as the City.
TASK 5 — JCE EMISSIONS INVENTORY UPDATE/FEE REPORTING
A formal emissions inventory is filed annually for JCE so that emissions fees may be based upon
actual, not permitted emissions. This task will include updating this inventory and filing the
emissions fee remittance form in 2019, 2020, and 2021 for the prior calendar year's emissions.
For this task, in January of each year, SCS will gather the information needed to estimate the
prior calendar year's emissions. Some of this will overlap with the information needed to
estimate GHG emissions (Task 6) also so one list will be prepared for both tasks.
Upon receipt of the necessary information, SCS will prepare emissions spreadsheets and enter
these emissions into TCEQ's State of Texas Environmental Electronic Reporting System
(STEERS). Upon completion of entering the data, SCS will provide the calculations in PDF
format for your review and work with you to address any comments and certify the STEERS
data on to TCEQ prior to the annual March 31S1 TCEQ deadline to certify the emissions to them.
We will upload pertinent calculations into STEERS for TCEQ's reference.

City of Corpus Christi SCS ENGINEERS
In April of each year the City will receive an emissions fee remittance form from the TCEQ
since the Landfill holds a Title V permit. Upon receipt of this form, SCS will complete it on the
City's behalf, using the estimated emissions from the recently completed inventory. We will
also estimate the amount that the City can be expected to be invoiced for in November for the
City's budgetary planning.
TASK 6 — JCE GREENHOUSE GAS REPORTING SERVICES
As part of Task 6's services, SCS will prepare the required reporting associated with the Federal
mandatory GHG reporting rules for GHG emissions for JCE. This work includes the preparation
and submittal of the required GHG emissions estimates and associated information required by
the GHG reporting rule. The deadline for this submittal will be on March 31s` annually between
2019 and 2021.
SCS will have much of the information necessary to complete the GHG emissions estimates
based on prior work. However, we will contact you regarding the additional information needed
(along with any TCEQ emissions inventory information needed from Task 5). Our XML
formatted submittal will be used to file information related to the GHG reporting rule. SCS will
work with the City and enter all online information for the City's review and certification.
When the reporting has been completed, SCS will provide a memorandum for your files
including backup calculation spreadsheets and pertinent assumptions.
TASK 7 — JCE TITLE V REPORTING
JCE's Title V permit requires reporting in the form of two semi-annual deviation reports each
year and an annual compliance certification. For this task, SCS will prepare and file these
reports on behalf of the City (with the City's Responsible Official's signatures). SCS will track
the required submittal deadlines and provide an information list for the City's review to affirm
that no known deviations have occurred. Any discovered deviations will be explained and
included as such in the Title V paperwork. Upon completion of all paperwork and receipt of the
City's signature page, SCS will transmit the appropriate paperwork to TCEQ and, for the annual
certification, to EPA.
TASK 8A — JCE TITLE V PERMIT RENEWAL
JCE's Title V permit is a 5-year operating permit. This permit must be renewed by June 14,
2019 for a new 5-year term. This task covers preparation and filing of this renewal.
For this task, SCS will prepare a Title V application for coverage of the JCE under TCEQ's
General Operating Permit (GOP). The renewal will consist of a cover letter, and various TCEQ
forms and checklists required to demonstrate coverage under the GOP (which the Landfill has
been covered under for more than 10 years now). The final application will be provided to the
City for review and the Responsible Official signature. Upon receipt of the hard copy signature
page, SCS can submit the renewal application to TCEQ on the City's behalf. This task will also
cover post-submittal questions and follow-up with TCEQ prior to approval of the renewal.

TASK 8B — CEFE TITLE V PERMIT RENEWAL
Cefe's Title V permit is a 5-year operating permit. This permit must be renewed by September
1, 2020 for a new 5-year term. This task covers preparation and filing of this renewal.
For this task, SCS will prepare a Title V application for coverage of the Cefe under TCEQ's
General Operating Permit (GOP). The renewal will consist of a cover letter, and various TCEQ
forms and checklists required to demonstrate coverage under the GOP. The final application will
be provided to the City for review and the Responsible Official signature. Upon receipt of the
hard copy signature page, SCS can submit the renewal application to TCEQ on the City's behalf.
This task will also cover post-submittal questions and follow-up with TCEQ prior to approval of
the renewal.
TASK 8C — NEW NSPS (XXX) REQUIREMENTS (CEFE)
EPA issued new NSPS rules for landfills in 2016 (40 CFR 60, Subpart XXX). Although a final
date has not been set, SCS anticipates that these rules will filter down to Cefe by 2021 through
the emission guideline rulemaking process. Assuming this rule is in place, Cefe will be subject
to multiple new filing requirements which can be accommodated by this task, including:
• New Design Capacity Report and Emissions Calculations (Tier 1); and
• Permit revisions to bring these new rules into the Landfill's Title V and possibly
Subchapter U authorizations.
This task assumes that a new landfill gas collection and control system design plan would not be
required for submittal in 2020 or 2021 (would likely be required sometime in 2022).
TASK 8D — NEW NSPS (XXX) REQUIREMENTS (JCE)
As with Task 8C, if the new NSPS rules do filter down to existing sites by 2021, J.C. Elliott will
also have filing requirements (although these will be less than what is required for Cefe since
JCE is closed and not subject to current NSPS control requirements.
This task will cover SCS preparing a new Design Capacity Report and emissions calculations to
show that the landfill does not emit more than 34 Mg/yr of non-methane organic compounds (the
control threshold in the new rule). This task assumes that SCS will be able to utilized historical
site-specific NMOC testing and that new testing will not be required by TCEQ.
TASK 9 — AIR COMPLIANCE ON -CALL SERVICES
Task 9 is being included to provide a task for any on-call air quality services that might be
needed in 2019, 2020, and 2021 to cover items such as the following:
• Support for any TCEQ air inspections where the City may need to organize air
compliance documentation for the inspector, or may want to consider having SCS
present at the inspection;
Cefe Valenzuela and J.C. Elliott Landfills GCCS OM&M and
October 2018 Related Services Proposal
5
City of Corpus Christi SCS ENGINEERS
• Permit revisions that may be needed during the year for any new sources being
planned at one of the City's solid waste Sites;
• Questions the City may have about possible landfill gas-to-energy or other air-related
items; and/or
• Support for new rule promulgation that may occur during the year and require
compliance filings, or other support.
The above list is not meant to be inclusive, and depending on the level of effort needed, addition
fees to those included in this proposal may be necessary. However, this task will provide a
mechanism for SCS to quickly respond(at least initially)as any such need arises.
TASK 10 — CEFE ROUTINE/NON - ROUTINE GCCS OM&M
SERVICES
Cefe's GCCS currently contains the following items that require OM&M services:
Gas Collection System SEM
Landfill No.of No. of No.of No. of Surface
Wells Sumps Flares' Blowers Area
(acres)
Cefe Valenzuela 262 4 1 2 60
1 Candlestick Flare,2 Number of wells is assumed to increase by approximately 14 in 2021 for an NSPS-required wellfield expansion.
For monitoring purposes, Cefe will be subject to the operational requirements of the NSPS rules
(40 CFR 60, Subpart WWW).
SCS Field Services (SCS-FS) will operate the GCCS at Cefe as part of this proposal consistent
with NSPS rules. Consequently, the following minimum landfill gas (LFG) quality standards
will apply to measurements taken at each LFG extraction wellhead:
• Static pressure measured at the wellhead; the NSPS requirement is to be less than 0.0
inches of water column(i.e., under vacuum);
• LFG temperature measured at the wellhead; the NSPS requirement is to be less than 131
degrees Fahrenheit(131°F); and
• Oxygen concentration measured at the wellhead; the NSPS requirement is to be less than
5.0 percent by volume.
Although not required by regulations, SCS-FS will also attempt to maintain the LFG quality at
each wellhead in conformance with the following limits:
• Methane concentration between 45 and 58 percent; and
• Balance gas concentration less than 10 percent.
These latter LFG quality standards are overall benchmarks and are not considered absolute
minimum or maximum allowable readings; however, they are consistent with NSPS
requirements and provide desirable goals for LFG quality at each wellhead.

City of Corpus Christi SCS ENGINEERS
Task 10A — Routine OM&M Services
Routine GCCS-related services are those services for which the scopes can be reasonably
defined at the present time and estimates of costs provided.
Wellfield Monitoring and Maintenance Services
SCS-FS will conduct monitoring and adjustment of the wellfield to ensure proper balancing of
the LFG extraction wells. Routine GCCS OM&M services will be provided at each active LFG
extraction well. During these services, SCS-FS will document the following operational data for
each well:
• Static pressure;
• Differential pressure;
• Lateral (available) vacuum;
• LFG flow;
• LFG composition(i.e., methane (CH4), carbon dioxide(CO2), oxygen(02), nitrogen(N2));
and
• LFG temperature.
The technician will also evaluate the condition of each wellhead and listen for leaks. Minor
leaks identified during monitoring will be repaired at the time of discovery. Leaks that cannot be
fully repaired (e.g., those requiring replacement parts) will be temporarily mitigated in the field
(if possible). Permanent repairs will be performed as non-routine scheduled services (see Non-
Routine Services section of this proposal).
Monitoring will be performed with a Landtec GEM 5000 or equivalent. At a minimum, the
GEM 5000 will be calibrated prior to use each day and as needed during the course of the day.
Factory calibration will be performed in accordance with manufacturer's recommendations.
Other Wellfield Monitoring and Maintenance Services
Additional wellfield monitoring and maintenance services are indicated below:
• Replacement of flex hoses and monitoring ports on wells (labor only; limited to three
wells per month);
• Measurement of depth-to-liquid in wells (on an as-needed basis to troubleshoot LFG
quality issues);
• Monitoring of LFG quality and pressure at sample ports on collection piping (if
applicable);
• Observation and monitoring of wells equipped with pneumatic pumps to verify proper
operation of pumps (if applicable);
• Observation and monitoring of condensate sumps and/or drip legs to verify their integrity
and proper operation; and
• Observation for general landfill cover integrity and surface water drainage conditions that
might impact LFG collection system operations.

As necessary, issues related to these items will be brought to the attention of Landfill
management prior to SCS-FS personnel leaving Cefe and documented in the monthly report (see
below).
BFS Monitoring and Maintenance Services
SCS-FS will perform routine blower/flare system (BFS) monitoring each month including the
following services:
• Collect BFS data(as available) including:
- Instantaneous flow readings (from meter);
- Total flow readings (from totalizer);
- Overall system vacuum(i.e., knockout inlet);
- Knockout outlet pressure and temperature;
- Blower inlet and outlet pressures and temperatures;
- Flame arrestor inlet and outlet pressures (if ports available);
- Composite LFG quality(i.e., CH4, CO2, 02, and balance gas concentrations);
- Flare temperature (from thermocouple readout);
- Blower run time hours(from meter);
- Blower bearing temperatures (from panel readout);
- Blower amperage reading (from panel readout);
- Flow meter readings(for condensate tanks [if applicable]); and

• Monitor and record operating status as applicable of various BFS components including:
- Blower;
- Motor;
- Flare;
- Flare control system;
- Air compressor(if applicable); and
- Propane tank(if applicable).
SCS-FS personnel will identify any necessary manufacturer's specified preventative
maintenance of BFS components including:
• Blower;
• Motor;
• Flare control system;
• Condensate knockout(s);
• Flame arrestor; and
• Compressor.
Cefe Valenzuela and J.C. Elliott Landfills GCCS OM&M and
October 2018 Related Services Proposal

City of Corpus Christi SCS ENGINEERS
In the event that SCS-FS is required to perform these services, then they will be provided as non-
routine scheduled services (see Non-Routine Services section of this proposal).
Services that will be provided as needed in conjunction with routine monthly visits include:
• Tightening of hoses, valves, etc.;
• Replacement of broken sampling ports/cock valves(labor only);
• Cleaning around the BFS; and
• Greasing motor/blower bearings (if grease fittings available).
Spare Parts Inventory
SCS-FS will keep an inventory of spare parts and materials at a designated location on site for
the GCCS (in accordance with the manufacturer's operations manuals for the blower, motor, and
flare). If any of the spare parts or materials in the inventory are used for maintenance or repairs,
SCS-FS will notify City personnel who will order the items or who may direct SCS-FS to do so.
GCCS OM&M Recordkeeping and Reporting
For monthly GCCS OM&M services, SCS-FS will prepare and submit a report by the end of the
month following the month for which wellfield monitoring services were provided. This report
will include the following information:
• Monitoring data collected at individual LFG extraction wells;
• Status of each well's compliance with the operating limits;
• Well depth measurements(when such measurements are taken);
• Summary of BFS operations;
• Condensate sump operational status;
• Summary of routine maintenance services performed;
• Summary of non-routine maintenance services performed(if any); and
• Recommendations for additional non-routine maintenance or repairs needed(if any).
In advance of submitting the above-described report, SCS-FS will compile collected data on the
SCSeTools server and provide access for designated personnel to this data. Field data will be
uploaded to SCSeTools for access and review within two workdays following collection by SCS-
FS. By placing data on the SCSeTools server, access will be available to personnel at all times
via the Internet.

City of Corpus Christi SCS ENGINEERS
Task 10B — Follow-Up Monthly GCCS OM&M Services
For instances where an additional visit is needed to address issues of concern at Cefe, SCS-FS
has included this task for follow-up monthly services. These services are intended to supplement
but not replace routine monthly services, and while the visits will only be done on an as-needed
basis, they are not intended for addressing significant issues as described in the non-routine
services section below which may require mobilization of multiple technicians and special
equipment. Examples of when follow-up services might be conducted are indicated below.
• Restarting the flare;
• Troubleshooting BFS operational issues;
• Remonitoring of wells; and
• Installation of wellhead(labor only).
Follow-up services account for travel to and from a Site and for the technician being onsite for at
least a half day. The cost estimate below is per visit per day.
Task 10C — Flow Meter Calibration
Calibration of the LFG flow meter in accordance with the manufacturer's recommendations is a
requirement of greenhouse gas (GHG) regulations. To address this requirement, SCS-FS will
remove the Site's flow meter and replace it with a rental unit from the meter manufacturer. The
Site's meter will be shipped to the manufacturer for factory calibration. After calibration and
return, SCS-FS will reinstall the meter and return the rental unit to the manufacturer.
Documentation of the calibration will be provided to the City for their records.
SCS-FS will arrange for meter calibration so as to ensure that a properly calibrated meter is
installed at all times. Meter calibration costs below account only for calibration of the meter
(including meter rental, removal/installation costs, and all shipment costs) but not for any repairs
determined needed by the meter manufacturer.
Project Management and Administration
For the above tasks, SCS-FS will provide an adequate level of management and administration to
ensure that the project runs smoothly and efficiently. Management/administrative services
include scheduling of field activities, oversight of field activities, reporting of field activities,
invoicing for services, and client communications. Costs for these services are included under
the respective tasks.
Task 10D - Cefe Non-Routine OM&M Services
With the routine services that will be provided as described above, non-routine services should
be minimized; however, some non-routine services may still be necessary at times. Examples of
such services are provided below.
Cefe Valenzuela and J.C. Elliott Landfills GCCS OM&M and
October 2018 Related Services Proposal

City of Corpus Christi SCS ENGINEERS
Non-Routine Scheduled Services
Non-routine scheduled services consist of corrective repairs or maintenance work identified by
City personnel or by SCS-FS personnel during routine visits or supplemental GCCS monitoring
services. Such services may include but are not limited to the following:
• Repair/replacement of broken valves;
• Repair/replacement of damaged wellheads;
• Raising of wells;
• Repair of damaged header and/or leachate lines;
• Troubleshooting of well and/or header problems;
• Blower/flare maintenance activities;
• Compressor maintenance activities; and
• Troubleshooting of pump problems(in wells or sumps).
Such services may be necessary for regulatory compliance or essential for satisfactory system
operation; however, the work is of a non-emergency nature and can be scheduled to allow for
procurement of materials and/or equipment and scheduling of personnel. Non-routine scheduled
maintenance will be performed on a time-and-materials or fixed fee basis and only with prior
authorization from the City.
Non-Routine Unscheduled Services
Non-routine unscheduled (emergency) services include events that require immediate response
for ongoing operation of the GCCS and/or to ensure protection of public health and the
environment. Such services may include but are not limited to the following:
• Investigation of elevated oxygen concentrations at the BFS;
• Repair of main header line breaks (resulting in no or reduced LFG flow);
• Troubleshooting/repair of BFS problems; and
• Investigation of surging vacuum in header.
Due to the urgent nature of these items, advance scheduling of work activities may not be
feasible; however, SCS-FS personnel are prepared to respond to emergencies as needed, 24
hours per day, 7 days per week. Non-routine unscheduled services will be performed as required
on a time-and-materials basis and only with prior authorization from the City.
TASK 11 — CEFE SEM SERVICES
SCS-FS will perform quarterly SEM events at Cefe in general accordance with Title 40 Code of
Federal Regulations Section 60.755(c) and (d) (40 CFR §60.755(c) and (d)) or 40 CFR
§60.765(c) and (d) and 40 CFR Part 60, Appendix A, Method 21. As required by the
regulations, monitoring will be scheduled during periods of typical meteorological conditions
and will provide coverage of the area served by the GCCS.
Cefe Valenzuela and J.C. Elliott Landfills GCCS OM&M and
October 2018 Related Services Proposal
11
City of Corpus Christi SCS ENGINEERS
Task 11 A — Cefe SEM Services
The SEM event will include the following:
• Identifying the monitoring route in the field per the SEM route map;
• Identifying penetration locations in the field per the wellfield layout map;
• Testing surface emissions continuously along the monitoring path and at penetrations
using an organic vapor analyzer specifically designed for surface emissions testing (e.g.,
flame ionization detector);
• Marking, recording, and notifying Site personnel of areas where methane concentrations
exceeding 500 parts per million(ppm) above background are detected(if applicable); and
• Recommending corrective actions to remediate areas of exceedances (if applicable) such
as adjustments to extraction wells; adjustments to header line flow/vacuum; cover
maintenance; or installation of additional collection devices.
SEM Recordkeeping and Reporting
By the end of the month following the month in which the SEM work is completed, SCS-FS will
prepare and submit a report to the Landfill manager summarizing all SEM activities performed
and the data collected. This report will include the following information:
• Explanation of procedures followed in conducting monitoring;
• Instrument field calibration and background data;
• Data for exceedance locations (i.e., locations with methane concentrations exceeding 500
ppm above background) including initial and follow-up monitoring(if applicable);
• Identification of corrective actions implemented to address exceedances (if applicable);
and
• A map of the SEM route with exceedance locations and areas not monitored (for safety
reasons)noted.
Additional documentation (e.g., field data, notes) will be maintained and made available as
needed.
SEM Schedule
SEM events will be conducted during each calendar quarter of 2019, 2020, and 2021.
Depending on the date on which a particular event is performed, rechecks and reporting may
extend into the subsequent quarter.
Task 11 B — Cefe Recheck SEM Services
Rechecks of locations where methane concentrations exceed 500 ppm above background will be
performed within 10 days and at one month of initial detection of the exceedance as if this were a
formal required scan. Exceedances will be brought promptly to the attention of Site personnel to
allow timely implementation of corrective actions. If a corrective action is implemented for an
exceedance location on the day of the quarterly SEM event prior to the SCS-FS technician
completing the post-calibration check, then the 10-day recheck will be performed that same day.

Although JCE is not subject to the operational requirements of Title 40 Code of Federal
Regulations Part 60, Subpart WWW (aka New Source Performance Standards (NSPS)), the
Site's GCCS will typically be operated as though those rules do apply.
As much as possible, SCS-FS will operate the GCCS at JCE as part of this proposal consistent
with NSPS rules. Consequently, the following minimum landfill gas (LFG) quality standards
will apply to measurements taken at each LFG extraction wellhead:
• Static pressure measured at the wellhead must be less than 0.0 inches of water column
(i.e., under vacuum);
• LFG temperature measured at the wellhead must be less than 131 degrees Fahrenheit
(131°F); and
• Oxygen concentration measured at the wellhead must be less than 5.0 percent by volume.
SCS-FS will also attempt to maintain the LFG quality at each wellhead in conformance with the
following limits:
• Methane concentration between 45 and 58 percent; and
• Balance gas concentration less than 10 percent.
These latter LFG quality standards are overall benchmarks and are not considered absolute
minimum or maximum allowable readings; however, they are consistent with NSPS
requirements and provide desirable goals for LFG quality at each wellhead.
Task 12A — Routine OM&M Services
Routine GCCS-related services are those services for which the scopes can be reasonably
defined at the present time and estimates of costs provided.

Wellfield Monitoring and Maintenance Services
SCS-FS will conduct monitoring and adjustment of the wellfield to ensure proper balancing of
the LFG extraction wells. Routine GCCS OM&M services will be provided at each active LFG
extraction well. During these services, SCS-FS will document the following operational data(as
appropriate for monitoring equipment used) for each well:
• Static pressure;
• Differential pressure;
• Lateral (available)vacuum;
• LFG flow;
• LFG composition(i.e., methane(CH4), carbon dioxide(CO2), oxygen(02), nitrogen(N2));
and
• LFG temperature.
The technician will also evaluate the condition of each wellhead and listen for leaks. Minor
leaks identified during monitoring will be repaired at the time of discovery. Leaks that cannot be
fully repaired (e.g., those requiring replacement parts) will be temporarily mitigated in the field
(if possible). Permanent repairs will be performed as non-routine scheduled services (see Non-
Routine Services section of this proposal).
Monitoring will be performed with a Landtec GEM 5000 or equivalent. At a minimum, the
GEM 5000 will be calibrated prior to use each day and as needed during the course of the day.
Factory calibration will be performed in accordance with manufacturer's recommendations.
Other Wellfield Monitoring and Maintenance Services
Additional wellfield monitoring and maintenance services are indicated below:
• Replacement of flex hoses and monitoring ports on wells (labor only; limited to ten wells
per month);
• Measurement of depth-to-liquid in wells (on an as-needed basis to troubleshoot LFG
quality issues);
• Monitoring of LFG quality and pressure at sample ports on collection piping (if
applicable);
• Observation and monitoring of wells equipped with pneumatic pumps to verify proper
operation of pumps (if applicable);
• Observation and monitoring of condensate sumps and/or drip legs to verify their integrity
and proper operation; and
• Observation for general landfill cover integrity and surface water drainage conditions that
might impact LFG collection system operations.
As necessary, issues related to these items will be brought to the attention of Landfill
management prior to SCS-FS personnel leaving JCE and documented in the monthly report (see
below).

- Propane tank(if applicable).
SCS-FS personnel will identify any necessary manufacturer's specified preventative
maintenance of BFS components including:
• Blower;
• Motor;
• Flare control system;
• Condensate knockout(s);
• Flame arrestor; and
• Compressor.
In the event that SCS-FS is required to perform these services,then they will be provided as non-
routine scheduled services (see Non-Routine Services section of this proposal).
Services that will be provided as needed in conjunction with routine monthly visits include:
• Tightening of hoses,valves, etc.;
Cefe Valenzuela and J.C. Elliott Landfills GCCS OM&M and
October 2018 Related Services Proposal
15
City of Corpus Christi SCS ENGINEERS
• Replacement of broken sampling ports/cock valves (labor only);
• Cleaning around the BFS; and
• Greasing motor/blower bearings (if grease fittings available).
Spare Parts Inventory
SCS-FS will keep an inventory of spare parts and materials at a designated location on site for
the GCCS (in accordance with the manufacturer's operations manuals for the blower, motor, and
flare). If any of the spare parts or materials in the inventory are used for maintenance or repairs,
SCS-FS will notify City personnel who will order the items or who may direct SCS-FS to do so.
GCCS OM&M Recordkeeping and Reporting
For monthly GCCS OM&M services, SCS-FS will prepare and submit a report by the end of the
month following the month for which wellfield monitoring services were provided. This report
will include the following information:
• Monitoring data collected at individual LFG extraction wells;
• Status of each well's compliance with the operating limits;
• Well depth measurements(when such measurements are taken);
• Summary of BFS operations;
• Condensate sump operational status;
• Summary of routine maintenance services performed;
• Summary of non-routine maintenance services performed(if any); and
• Recommendations for additional non-routine maintenance or repairs needed(if any).
• Summary of logger data noting downtimes and data gaps.
• Startup/shutdown/malfunction (SSM) forms for SSM events as identified from logger
data.
In advance of submitting the above-described report, SCS-FS will compile collected data on the
SCSeTools server and provide access for designated personnel to this data. Field data will be
uploaded to SCSeTools for access and review within two workdays following collection by SCS-
FS. By placing data on the SCSeTools server, access will be available to personnel at all times
via the Internet.
Task 12B — Follow-Up Monthly GCCS OM&M Services
For instances where an additional visit is needed to address issues of concern at JCE, SCS-FS
has included this task for follow-up monthly services. These services are intended to supplement
but not replace routine monthly services, and while the visits will only be done on an as-needed
basis, they are not intended for addressing significant issues as described in the non-routine
services section below which may require mobilization of multiple technicians and special
equipment. Examples of when follow-up services might be conducted are indicated below.
• Restarting the flare;
• Troubleshooting BFS operational issues;
Cefe Valenzuela and J.C. Elliott Landfills GCCS OM&M and
October 2018 Related Services Proposal
16
City of Corpus Christi SCS ENGINEERS
• Remonitoring of wells; and
• Installation of wellhead(labor only).
Follow-up services account for travel to and from a Site and for the technician being onsite at
least a half day. Material costs are not accounted for and will be billed separately in accordance
with the fee schedule. The cost estimate below is per visit per day.
Task 12C — Flow Meter Calibration
Calibration of the LFG flow meter in accordance with the manufacturer's recommendations is a
requirement of greenhouse gas (GHG) regulations. To address this requirement, SCS-FS will
remove the Site's flow meter and replace it with a rental unit from the meter manufacturer. The
Site's meter will be shipped to the manufacturer for factory calibration. After calibration and
return, SCS-FS will reinstall the meter and return the rental unit to the manufacturer.
Documentation of the calibration will be provided to the City for their records.
SCS-FS will arrange for meter calibration so as to ensure that a properly calibrated meter is
installed at all times. To minimize costs, services will be performed in conjunction with other
routine services at the Site. Meter calibration costs below account for calibration of the meter
(including meter rental, removal/installation costs, and all shipment costs) but not for any repairs
determined to be needed by the meter manufacturer.
Project Management and Administration
For the above tasks, SCS-FS will provide an adequate level of management and administration to
ensure that the project runs smoothly and efficiently. Management/administrative services
include scheduling of field activities, oversight of field activities, reporting of field activities,
invoicing for services, and client communications. Costs for these services are included under
the respective tasks.
Task 12D — Non-Routine OM&M Services
With the routine services that will be provided as described above, non-routine services should
be minimized; however, some non-routine services may still be necessary at times. Examples of
such services are provided below.
Non-Routine Scheduled Services
Non-routine scheduled services consist of corrective repairs or maintenance work identified by
City personnel or by SCS-FS personnel during routine visits or supplemental GCCS monitoring
services. Such services may include but are not limited to the following:
• Repair/replacement of broken valves;
• Repair/replacement of damaged wellheads;
• Raising of wells;
• Repair of damaged header and/or leachate lines;
• Troubleshooting of well and/or header problems;
Cefe Valenzuela and J.C. Elliott Landfills GCCS OM&M and
October 2018 Related Services Proposal
17
City of Corpus Christi SCS ENGINEERS
• Blower/flare maintenance activities;
• Compressor maintenance activities; and
• Troubleshooting of pump problems(in wells or sumps).
Such services may be necessary for regulatory compliance or essential for satisfactory system
operation; however, the work is of a non-emergency nature and can be scheduled to allow for
procurement of materials and/or equipment and scheduling of personnel. Non-routine scheduled
maintenance will be performed on a time-and-materials or fixed fee basis and only with prior
authorization from the City.
Non-Routine Unscheduled Services
Non-routine unscheduled (emergency) services include events that require immediate response
for ongoing operation of the GCCS and/or to ensure protection of public health and the
environment. Such services may include but are not limited to the following:
• Investigation of elevated oxygen concentrations at the BFS;
• Repair of main header line breaks (resulting in no or reduced LFG flow);
• Troubleshooting/repair of BFS problems; and
• Investigation of surging vacuum in header.
Due to the urgent nature of these items, advance scheduling of work activities may not be
feasible; however, SCS-FS personnel are prepared to respond to emergencies as needed, 24
hours per day, 7 days per week. Non-routine unscheduled services will be performed as required
on a time-and-materials basis and only with prior authorization from the City.

Procedures for Non-Routine Services (Tasks 10C and 12D)
Non-routine scheduled services and non-routine unscheduled (emergency) services will be
compensated in accordance with the fee schedules (see appendices). Since determination of the
frequency of occurrence or extent of repair work that might be required is not possible at this
time, cost estimates for these services are not provided. When scheduled non-routine services
are needed, SCS-FS will provide the City with time-and-materials/not-to-exceed or fixed fee
estimates for specific corrective repairs or maintenance work. When unscheduled (emergency)
services are needed, SCS-FS will be prepared to quickly respond to requests from the City for
assistance and may not have sufficient time to provide cost estimates for services in advance. In
both cases, work would proceed subsequent to authorization from the City.

4 ASSUMPTIONS AND CONDITIONS
In preparing this proposal SCS-FS offers the following assumptions and conditions:
1. SCS-FS will be responsible for the OM&M of the GCCS at both Cefe and JCE. No
expansions of the systems at each Landfill have been accounted for in this proposal.
2. Routine monitoring and maintenance services will typically be provided by a one-man
crew; however, additional support may be provided for some services (e.g., surface
emissions monitoring).
3. Wellheads are in suitable condition for monitoring with a Landtec GEM 5000 or
equivalent.
4. All materials for the spare parts inventory will be provided by the City or obtained by
SCS-FS in accordance with the fee schedules provided in the appendices.
5. SCS-FS will be responsible for routine monthly operations and maintenance of the BFS
system as described above. The BFS will be monitored in conjunction with site visits for
monitoring of the wellfield. Additional separate mobilizations only for monitoring of the
BFS have not been accounted for in the routine monthly cost estimate.
6. SEM rechecks are limited to a total of 15 locations, both route and penetrations.
Additional rechecks will be performed as non-routine services.
7. All reports will be provided in standardized formats currently utilized by SCS-FS;
however, minor changes to the reports as specified by the City will be made.
8. City personnel will assist with completion of SSM forms by identifying the causes for
SSM events and any deviations from standard operating procedures.
9. No regularly scheduled meetings between the City and SCS-FS have been accounted for
in the scope of services; however, it is anticipated that the SCS-FS technician may meet
with City personnel when performing routine and non-routine services at the Sites.
10. SCS-FS takes no responsibility for the overall quality of the LFG collected from the
GCCS in regards to trace components.
11. SCS-FS takes no legal responsibility for any of the potential hazards associated with
condensate from the GCCS and/or its disposal. If removal and off-site disposal of
condensate is required, then it will be managed directly by others. SCS-FS may assist
with coordination and management of condensate and leachate removal operations if
requested.
12. This proposal is confidential and for the City's use only.
