EXHIBIT 1 <br />SCOPE OF WORK <br />INDIAN RIVER RCOUNTY <br />BIOSOLIDS DEWATERING FACILITY AT INDIAN RIVER COUNTY LANDFILL <br />ADMENDMENT NO.2 - ADDITIONAL DESIGN AND PERMITTING SERVICES <br />BACKGROUND <br />Indian River County (IRC) Utility Services Department currently operates a centralized <br />dewatering facility located at the Central Region Wastewater Treatment Plant. The close <br />proximity of the existing dewatering facility to neighboring developments led IRC to explore <br />moving the operation to the IRC Landfill. The IRC Landfill is the current recipient of the sludge <br />dewatered at the existing facility. Given the age of the existing dewatering facility's equipment, <br />a new facility was proposed to be located at the landfill. The new Biosolids Dewatering Facility <br />(BDF) would be designed to have the necessary sludge receiving, pumping, and tankage to <br />meet IRC's needs as well as the needs of the private grease and septage haulers in IRC. The <br />facility would be designed for a twenty year equipment life cycle. Dewatering equipment <br />would be provided by a private contract operator with a five year operating contract with <br />renewal options in accordance with IRC policy. <br />The current design of the BDF places the facility on a 180 -foot wide strip of landfill property <br />between the permitted construction and demolition (C&D) debris cell and the Class I cell <br />located to the west. Siting of the BDF in its present location does not allow use of the infill <br />volume between the two landfill cells. In August 2007, IRC considered the potential use and <br />value of the infill volume between the two cells and requested CDM to perform a conceptual <br />level evaluation of the area. The evaluation indicated that use of the infill volume for disposal <br />of C&D debris, could result in a potential $44.3 million of future incoming revenue to IRC and <br />could extend the landfill useful life by approximately 13 additional years. <br />Based on the above, IRC staff determined that the potential beneficial use of the infill volume <br />between the two cells warranted the relocation of the BDF to an alternate location within the <br />landfill property boundary. With relocation of the BDF, the infill volume between the C&D <br />debris cell and the Class I landfill cell will remain available for future use. The alternate <br />location, the area of second lateral expansion of the existing C&D debris landfill, located south <br />of the administration area and along the 74thAvenue, was selected based on discussions and <br />review by CDM and IRC of various potential sites within the landfill property. <br />Revision of the current design to relocate the BDF to the selected alternate location will <br />maintain the current internal layout and footprint of the facility as much as is practically <br />feasible, but will require surveying and subsurface investigation of the new facility location, <br />additional permitting services, and additional engineering services related to final design. <br />The intent of this Amendment is to provide additional funding for the upper limit of Tasks 1, 2, <br />and 3. <br />jbl�7 �c <br />
