Since then, they have been doing a great job, and progress is going well on their site. He was happy to report that SWDD had received the high-pressure gaskets, and NED had delivered the hydrogen sulfide (H2S) vessels, so the project was moving forward on both sides. He stated that eight gas wells were recently abandoned to maximize landfill waste capacity on the northern portion of Segment 3 Cell 1 area. This reduced the total landfill gas flow available for the future Renewable Natural Gas (RNG) project. It was imperative that the County replace these landfill gas wells and add additional gas wells to this area once final capacity was reached, which was anticipated by mid-November 2024. Therefore, in the interest of time and based on utilizing SCS Field Services (SCS -FS) to install landfill gas wells in the past, staff recommended the Board waive bid requirements and award an Agreement for the landfill gas wellfield expansion project per a proposal from SCS -FS in the total amount of $486,050.
