Explanation
1. BACKGROUND
The Department of Public Service, Division of Refuse Collection, currently manages a contract for explosive gas monitoring service at the former landfills located on Jackson Pike and Fisher Road. Civil & Environmental Consultants, Inc., was awarded the annual contract for measuring and reporting methane levels at these locations, as mandated by the Environmental Protection Agency. The reporting is based on The Explosive Monitoring System Design Plan and Sampling and Reporting Procedures, which were prepared in June of 1992.
Furthermore, the Jackson Pike landfill has been emitting methane gas concentrations which exceed the threshold limits of the EPA. To ensure that the information which is communicated to EPA and all relevant parties is complete and accurate, the current contract for landfill monitoring will be modified to include plan, maps, well repair, addition of new wells, and reporting information update.
The Department of Public Service, Office of Support Services, solicited an informal bid for landfill monitoring service. This service was informally advertised on the City's Vendor Services site and closed on 1/18/2011. Award was made to Civil & Environmental Consultants, Inc., as the lowest, best, responsive and most responsible bidder. The contract also allows for installation and repair of monitoring equipment as needed.
This is the first modification to the original contract. Work to be included in this contract modification includes but is not limited to: clearing access to probes; installing new probes as needed; repairing or replacing damaged monitoring equipment; calibrating monitoring equipment; providing reports documenting the field activities. The contract amount, including all modifications, is as follows:
Original contract amount: $3,960.00 (ED048413)
Second year PO: $4,250.00 (ED050564)
Modification 1 amount: $73,665.00
Total contract amount, including all modifications: $81,875.00.
