SUBJECT AUTHORIZATION FOR GM-CE TO NEGOTIATE AND EXECUTE A
CONTRACT WITH JOHN CAROLLO ENGINEERS FOR TECHNICAL SUPPORT
ON THE LANDFILL GAS UTILIZATION PROJECT
TYPE OF ACTION
NEGOTIATE CONTRACT
SUBMITTED BY
John Larson
INITIATING DEPT.!DIV.
Engineering/Special Projects
BACKGROUND: Getty Synthetic Fuels, Inc., is developing a project to recover
fuel gas from the Acme Fill Disposal site. CCCSD is a prospective customer
for the fuel gas with the Getty project potentially supplying up to 50% of
the treatment plant's current fuel gas requirements. The Getty project
could be ready for operation within about six months, with a potential for
significant fuel gas cost savings over the next ten years.
Technical assistance is required to support any future negotiation. The
technical questions include the specifications for fuel gas delivery (location,
pressure, heating value, and allowable contaminants), point(s) of utilization
within the treatment plant, capital and operating costs associated with fuel
gas utilization, and projection of cost savings (if any) with various contractual
alternatives. John Carollo Engineers was selected because of their previous
experience with landfill gas and digester gas utilization. Exhibit A is a
draft scope of work and Exhibit B is a cost estimate.
This work will be done on a rate schedule basis (time and materials plus
overhead and profit). The estimated cost of $54,000 includes all of the
alternatives and all of the items in the scope of work.
RECOMMENDATION: Authorize the GM-CE to negotiate and the Board President to
execute a contract with John Carollo Engineers for Technical Support on the
Landfill Gas Utilization Project at a cost not to exceed $54,000.

DRAFT
EXHIBIT A
Feasibility Study for Utilization of Landfill Gas
SCOPE OF WORK
1. Estimate current major energy usages at Plant. (Review District's
calculations and review past years meter readings and make an inde-
pendent assessment of usages) Estimate usages for each of the
following:
Influent Pump Engines
Engine Generators
Auxiliary Boilers
2. Determine future energy usages for the following (10 years from
now-1990):
Auxiliary Boilers
Engine Generators
Furnaces (information from M&E on energy requirements and
projected waste heat recovery)?
Influent Pump Engines
HVAC for New Office Building
3. Determine and describe existing fuel systems including pipe materials
and sizes, operating pressures and design pressures, capacities,
etc. Develop single line schematics and plot plan of each system
that relate to major points of use including engines, furnaces, and
auxiliary boilers. (by District):
Natural Gas
Fuel Oil
Digester Gas
Propane
4. Review Getty's proposed LFG quantity and quality. Determine type
of treatment or dehydration which Getty proposes if any. Consider
need for additional dehydration or scrubbing and discuss advantages
and disadvantages of additional treatment for each potential use of
the LFG. Analysis to be based on literture review on State-of-the-
Art with respect to utilization of LFG.
5. Determine feasibility of using LFG in:
Furnaces (to stabilize sludge)
Auxiliary Boilers
Influent Pump Engines
Generator Engines
New Office Building
Discuss advantages and disadvantages for use in each of above areas
and consider both LFG as proposed by Getty and LFG with further
treatment.
6. Determine impacts on Air Pollution & APe permit for using LFG in
each of above areas.
7. Determine feasibility of utilizing fuel oil in existing engines.
8. Determine general piping modifications which may be necessary to
use LFG in each of the above.
9. Develope up to 3 alternatives for utilization of LFG in exising
equipment. Also consider an alternative consisting of dedicated
generation for continuous use or peak shaving.
10. Estimate capital costs for each alternative.
11. Determine potential maintenance considerations and potential increased
maintenance and operation costs for each alternative:
Boilers
Engines (Headworks and Generators)
Piping and Regulators
New Generation System
12. Review recent fuel and utility billings to the District for Natural
Gas, Fuel Oil, Propane and Electrical Energy. (last 2 years min.)
Summarize trends and current costs.
13. An evaluation of major fuels will be accomplished in an effort to
determine their availability and their cost. Prepare an estimate
of projected rates and availability for propane, natural gas and
fuel oil for the next 10 years (1980-1990). Estimates to be based
on current literature review and the Department of Energy (DOE)
projections as well as discussions with PG&E. This evaluation is
considered a necessity to determine the cost effectiveness of any
potential energy production project.
14. Review Getty proposal to District (after receipt) for purchase of
LFG and assist District in analysis and evaluation of proposal.
Determine details of Getty's proposal with respect to ownership of
pipeline and operation of compressor station and pipeline. Discuss
advantages and disadvantages of District building and owning pipeline.
15. Meet with District on a periodic basis to discuss progress of work.
16. Write final Report including all information and results of work
effort including recommendations with regard to feasibility of
using LFG at-the District plant. Submit 10 copies of draft report
for review by District. Prepare final Report following receipt of
comments. Print and submit 50 copies of final Report. Present
report to District Board and answer questions as requested.
17. Assist District with negotiation of a contract for purchase of LFG
if required. If requested, estimate costs for Getty development
of LFG collection and pipeline system.

INITIATING DEPT./DIV.
Plant Operations Department
Issue: In order to confonn to codes and properly protect sensiti~ electrical,
electronic and mechanical equiprent, noncorrosive fire extinguishers are required
at 19 locations.
Background: Investigation indicates that the new Treatment Plant facility does
not meet OSHA or State Fire Marshall laws and requirements regarding coverage by
fire extinguishers on an industrial facility. In order to confom, existing
extinguishers must be relocated, new extinguishers purchased, and signs added as
required. fust of the work required will be canpleted by the Construction Division
on a backcharge basis to the Phase 1 contract. HCMever, 19 of the locations require
an extinguisher which will not damage or ham sensi ti ve machinery, electrical equipnent,
or solid state circuitry. The best type of extinguisher is a Halon portable unit
for this type of protection. 'Ihe portable extinguisher, as specified under the
contract, was a dry chemical (ABC systan) .
Purchase and installation of 19 Halon extinguishers will cost approximately
$2,300.
lEcrnmendation: Authorization of $2,300 for the purchase of 19 Halon fire
extinguishers to be located at the Treatment Plant facility.
