consulting services for the subject project. Geosyntec's lump sum proposal, including scope of work, schedule and budget, is shown in Attachment 1. Geosyntec's proposal consists of four phases as follows: PHASE DESCRIPTION $ AMOUNT 1 General Consulting/Project Management $ 5,313 2 Review of Background Documents and Liquids Data $ 7,360 3 Evaluation of Liquids Management Options $ 11,700 4 Technical Memorandum $ 6,616 Total = $ 30,989 Geosyntec proposes to submit the technical memorandum within five weeks of the notice to proceed. The first phase includes two meetings: one via conference call to reduce costs, and a second meeting with SWDD and IRCDUS staff to review and discuss findings from the evaluation. The second phase includes reviewing background documents and includes review of a comprehensive sampling and analyses (to be performed separately by SWDD) of the landfill leachate, centrate, and combined liquids for use in the evaluation. The third phase will include compilation of the pertinent data, including the latest analytical data from the three samples and updated flow rates, and conducting a thorough evaluation of this information with respect to: (i) liquid chemistry and treatability; (ii) potentially applicable treatment options and relative costs of these options; (iii) local limits requirements of the WRWWTF; and (iv) feasibility of separating the landfill leachate from the centrate to meet pre-treatment and/or disposal requirements. It is anticipated that the following treatment options will be evaluated: 1) biological treatment using SBR system; 2) RO membrane system; and 3) advanced oxidation. In addition, leachate volume reduction via on-site evaporation will be evaluated as well as a potential option of using "Vetiver grass". The evaluation of each alternative will include feasibility level cost estimates (capital as well as operations and maintenance) for major items required for implementation of each treatment/ management option. Additionally, the evaluation will include non -economic aspects, such as ease of implementation, including permitting and regulatory hurdles; the complexity of the system; robustness of the system; and other requirements. The final phase is a technical memorandum that would provide recommendations on the options/alternatives evaluated for review and consideration by SWDD and IRCDUS staff, and for presentation to the Board at a future meeting. FUNDING: Funding for these professional services is budgeted and available in the Other Professional Services account in the SWDD Landfill Fund, which is funded from SWDD assessments and user fees. This account has a total budget of $120,520 for the 2018/2019 fiscal year. The sampling and analysis would be performed via other contractual services, which are also funded from SWDD assessments and user fees. The account has a total budget of $37,000 for field services and laboratory services.
