(A) DELAYED

LANDFILL GAS DEVELOPMENT PARTNER (LGDP) ? LANDFILL GAS TO BENEFICIAL

USE (LFGE) PROJECT (ANNUAL CONTRACT) ? RFP NO. 16-0010



It is requested that Council authorize the execution of a letter of intent with

Enerdyne Power Systems, Inc. (Charlotte, NC), and if the both parties are in

agreement to proceed with the project, it is further requested that Council

authorize the execution of the subsequent contract with Enerdyne Power Systems,

Inc. for a landfill gas development project.



The RFP was issued to identify a Landfill Gas Development Partner to develop a

Landfill Gas to Energy (LFGE) Project at the Pine Grove and Schatulga Road

Landfills. Landfill gas is approximately 50% methane which can be used as an

energy source. If approved, the City can begin the negotiation of an agreement

with Enerdyne Power Systems, Inc. to develop the LFGE project. The initial

phase of the project will determine if there is sufficient quality and quantity

of landfill gas for an energy project. A successful project should provide

financial and/or other benefits to the City.



Enerdyne Power Systems will perform all diligence with respect to the Pine

Grove Landfill and Schatulga Road Landfill. During the ?Diligence Period?,

which shall be for 120 days from the execution of the Letter of Intent,

Enerdyne Power Systems will determine the feasibility of the Landfill Gas

Project.



If Columbus Consolidated Government and Enerdyne Power Systems are in agreement

to proceed with the Landfill Gas Development project, Enerdyne Power Systems

will design, construct and initiate the operation of the landfill gas

collection, processing, conveyance and utilization system at the Pine Grove

Landfill and take over the existing operation at the Schatulga Road Landfill.

Enerdyne Power System will be required to present all design, construction,

operation, and maintenance plans to the City for approval. These plans will be

evaluated to determine and ensure that the proposed system does not interfere

with the City?s ability to operate and maintain the landfills in full

regulatory compliance.

The City recognizes that all recoverable landfill gas represents a potential

revenue stream through the generation of carbon credits and/or energy recovery,

and Enerdyne Power Systems is expected to maximize landfill gas recovery

through installation of a comprehensive Gas Collection and Control System

(GCCS) and proactive system expansion.

Enerdyne Power Systems shall install and operate a backup flare in addition to

a Landfill Gas to Beneficial Use (LFGE) facility to maximize carbon credit

generation when the beneficial use facility is offline. If the LFGE plant

reaches capacity, all surplus gas must be flared in order to maximize carbon

credit revenue. Enerdyne Power Systems will install a GCCS that meets the

requirements of the Climate Action Reserve (CAR) and the New Source Performance

Standards for Landfills (40 CFR 60 Subpart WWW) and implement a carbon credit

project monitoring plan in accordance with the most recent version of the CAR

Landfill Project Reporting Protocol. A proper system will include a methane

analyzer for both the flow to the flare and to the LFGE project, flow meters to

all combustion and/or control devices, recording devices, etc.

The City will retain all environmental compliance responsibilities associated

with the operation of the Pine Grove Landfill and post closure care for the

Schatulga Road Landfill. Construction and operation of the proposed Pine Grove

Landfill GCCS and beneficial use system must comply with all Federal, State and

local rules and regulations. Enerdyne Power Systems will be responsible for the

operation of both the Pine Grove and Schatulga Road GCCS systems and the

beneficial reuse system. The Engineering Department has confirmed that

including Schatulga Road Landfill in a combined beneficial use project with

Pine Grove Landfill will not trigger any additional air permitting for

Schatulga Road Landfill.

The initial term of the contract shall be for fifteen (15) years, with the

option to renew for two (2) additional 5-year periods. The contract renewal

will be contingent upon the mutual agreement of the City and the Contractor.

the landfills, we cannot put together an economic proposal for consideration.?



3. Triple Point Engineering: The vendor did not provide a response to the email.
