This proposal has been prepared in response to the City's Request for Proposal (RFP). — As -Needed General Environmental Engineering Services, dated September 3, 2003. 2.1 Project Understanding Based on the review of the RFP, we understand that the City from time to time has the need to retain the services of a consulting environmental engineering firm on an "as -needed" basis to supplement City staff in implementing their extensive capital improvement program. The consulting environmental engineering firm will assist in various tasks, including but not limited to performing field investigations, routine methane gas monitoring, maintenance and inspection of active gas collection systems, commerciallindustrial water quality inspections, water quality best management practices review, as well as design and preparation of plans, specifications, cost estimates, and contract documents. The City is seeking an environmental engineering consultant who has experience with naturally occurring gas anomaly/odor control, closed landfills, passive/active gas collection systems, wastewater odor control, wetland natural treatment systems, storm water quality, and storm water management. GCE and our teaming member, Moffitt & Nichol Engineering, have extensive experience in all of these areas. GCE offers a range of general and highly specialized environmental services required to meet the City's needs. GCS's landfill gas control engineering and design, and operation and maintenance capabilities make us one of the most highly respected and qualified landfill gas (LFG) and naturally occurring gas consulting groups in the industry. GCE truly did "write the book" on Operations and Maintenance for LFG systems! The Solid Waste Association of North America (SWANA) selected GCE to prepare the Landfill Gas Manual of Practice (MOP), a comprehensive guide for landfill owner/operators. GCE personnel also participated with both the City of Los Angeles and Orange County to prepare the methane regulations for building development in gassy areas. We have dealt with odor emissions at landfills and have provided expert witness testimony on odor and noise issues related to landfills. We have designed gas treatment and disposal systems for wastewater treatment plants, prepared corrosion studies, and helped with gas fired engine controls. We have a background in collecting and processing oil field gas, whether it is solution gas that is separated from oil, well casing gas or production from a gas well. We believe that you will find that our solutions to problems are well thought out and not merely "cookie cutter" solutions. • Solutions are tailored to the problem we are trying to solve with special consideration of the client's needs. Given our extensive engineering background, we can design systems that many general engineering companies are unable to do. We are committed to providing the finest quality comprehensive environmental consulting services for the full range of projects required by the City at competitive prices. We have provided client names and contact information in Appendix A for the City's use in verifying our qualifications. The following sections provide a brief overview of GCE's qualifications, range of services provided similar to those in the RFP, qualifications for this project, our billing rates, and the required information requested in the RFP. We have .included brief summaries of a few representative projects with scopes of work similar to those in the RFP to demonstrate the depth and breadth of our experience. We will be happy to provide the City with additional project descriptions upon request. 2.0 APPROACH 2.1 Understanding the Objectives GCE understands that the City's goal for the project is to obtain the services of up to three qualified environmental consulting firms with technical expertise and experience in landfill and oil field gas, hazardous waste management, water quality and wastewater treatment, research studies and grant applications, wetland restoration and natural treatment systems, and construction management to support City staff on an "as -needed" basis. The various tasks the City requires include field data collection, routine gas monitoring, operation and maintenance of active gas collection systems, preparation of report and studies, research and preparation of grant applications for approval by state and federal agencies, performing investigative and research studies, water quality management practices review and evaluation, preparation of design plans specifications and cost estimates, preparation of construction bid documents, construction management, and wetland natural treatment systems evaluation/design. 2.2 Overall Approach GCE seeks to start every project with a clear definition of the project and the objectives of the client. To accomplish this step, GCE will meet with the City to review the goals and visit the project site. Based on this information, GCE will provide the City with a proposed scope of work, a statement of our understanding of the project, and proposed budget. Following authorization, GCE will prepare a design memo, design report, testing workplan, etc. describing the project, a detailed approach to all deliverables. If options are available to complete the work, GCE will explore the. advantages and disadvantages of the options and the cost ramifications on the project. Following approval of this report, detailed work will proceed. GCE has assembled a Team of highly qualified registered. civil and mechanical engineers, registered and certified geologists and hydrogeologists, and trained field technicians with the required expertise and extensive experience to support the City Project Manager(s) to manage all aspects of their projects and meet goals. Furthermore, because this work is the backbone of our business, GCE possesses the instruments and tools required to carrying out the required engineering and monitoring. We understand the need to respond in a timely and efficient manner to support the City Project Manager(s) with their project needs to achieve optimum systems operation, to comply with 2 regulatory requirements and to meet the scheduled dates for submittal to the agencies. GCE staff is well trained to respond to on -call services and will be there to support the City upon request. We have reviewed the Scope of Services as provided in the RFP and will provide expertise to respond to the project's needs as requested. 2.3 Scope of Work 2.3.1 Monitoring and Inspections GCE has extensive experience in administering on -going monitoring and inspection programs as well as applying all inspection skills and engineering experience to develop creative solutions to ' specific problems. As an example, strong sewer odors were present around the clubhouse at a golf course in the City of La Habra. GCE traced this problem to an incorrectly plumbed toilet. To fix the problem, GCE installed a pole light with a gas vent riser through the center connected to a clean -out. The odor problem was completely eliminated and additional lighting was an added benefit. 2.3.2 Studies and Reports GCE regularly prepares reports describing work performed, results, potential concerns, if any, potential solutions, their advantages, disadvantages, likelihood of success and costs. Reports prepared by GCE include; routine operations and maintenance reports, quarterly groundwater monitoring reports, site assessment studies workplan/ reports, remedial action plan/ feasibility study reports, health risk assessments, SWPP/ SPCC plans, and engineering remediation design reports. Reports.- are prepared following approved formats by regulatory agencies and clients. The collected data is evaluated by professionals with the required expertise; based on the results and site conditions our conclusions and recommendations are offered. GCE will evaluate other potential unknown areas of concern, when result of the studies don't offer absolute site -related conclusions. For instance, GCE investigated methane gas in a monitoring probe in Mountain View California. After performing monitoring and analyzing a gas sample, our conclusion was that the gas was probably from an off -site source. A report was written stating the work performed, results, evaluation of results and conclusion. We were unable to confirm the off -site source because we did not have access to the adjacent property. 2.3.3 Grant Applications GCE has prepared various grant applications to obtain funding for numerous projects. These grants have been requested and successfully obtained for health risk studies (SCAQMD), EPA Brownfield assessment demonstration pilot grant, gas transport, modeling and research on gas separation membranes. 2.3.4 Preliminary Engineering Much preliminary engineering is performed during the feasibility study process so that costs of various alternatives can be. compared and the advantages and disadvantages discussed. Again, this is a common function performed on every project GCE does and is included in the design report. 2.3.5 Permits The engineering GCE normally performs requires us to obtain all environmental and construction permits. GCE can assist or obtain permits from applicable regulatory agencies. 2.3.6 Construction Documents Preparation of engineering calculations and designs; plans, specifications, and bid documents is an integral part of GCE's normal work. We maintain an extensive library of standard specifications and drawings, which can be tailored to each project, thus expediting execution of the project and reducing project costs. 2.3.7 Bidding Stage. Because GCE prepares many construction documents, we also participate in our conduct many pre -bid construction meetings. Following the meeting, either the City or GCE will need to prepare minutes that include contractor questions and answers. During bidding, GCE will field contractor questions. Each time a contractor calls, a telephone record will be prepared and if. the question and answer could affect other contractor's bids, it will be circulated to them. Following the bids, GCE will tabulate the bids, check contractor references, and make a recommendation to the City. GCE is experienced in all aspects of the bidding process, including RFQ preparation, pre -bid alignment, bid evaluation, contract development, and project management. GCE will provide minutes for prebid meetings, responding to contractor questions and 2.3.8 Construction Stage The construction is started by conducting a kickoff meeting. The sequence of construction, site activities, construction issues and concerns (i.e., safety, odors, etc.), authority of the inspectors, payment terms and schedules and project meeting schedules are established at this - meeting. Additionally, construction hold points or items that require continuous inspection are defined. Other contract obligations such as development of a construction schedule, health and safety plan, insurance, submittal approval, rejection of work and/or materials, procedures for change orders, project completion, and maintenance of a red -line drawing set are also required. All of the above items will then be coordinated during the construction process by the City or GCE. 3.0 TEAM ORGANIZATION GCE's Project Team has the experience, expertise, staff and resources to undertake all management, technical, fieldwork, environmental, regulatory support, quality .assurance, and documentation requirements of the project. The GCE Team is comprised of GCS's key senior personnel and GCE's associates with the required expertise for each project. In addition to our staff, we have solicited the services of Moffett and Nichol (M&N), a multi -disciplinary planning and engineering firm with extensive expertise in. conceptual planning (engineering, environmental review and permitting), feasibility studies, preliminary and final design services and construction support activities for creek and wetland restoration. 4 • 0 The key personnel selected for this project have extensive experience with landfill and -oil field gas management consulting services, engineering design, specifications, and cost estimate preparation, hazardous waste management, water quality issues and regulations, waste water management, ecological issues, construction management, research studies, and federal and state grant applications preparation. Our project organization is presented in Figure 1. Mr. Richard Prosser, the President of GCE will manage this project. Because of the scope of this project and GCE's commitment to fulfill the needs of the project without hindrance and delay, we have assigned Ms. Farideh Kia, the Vice President of GCE, as the Assistant Project Manager, thereby providing the City key points of contact with full responsibility for project performance.

The landfill is home of the Shoreline Regional Park. This showcase project includes the Shoreline Amphitheater, an 18-hole golf course with clubhouse/restaurant, and park. GC Environmental, Inc. (GCE) and GCE's staff have performed most of the landfill gas (LFG) engineering work that has been done at the site for the past 14 years including the flare station design, original and upgraded collection in the Front nine area of the golf course, and improvements to the gas barrier for Michael's Restaurant which has a multi- level methane protection system that includes landfill gas extraction, parking lot and building subsurface ventilation, and LEL monitors. One of the first projects performed at the site was to bring the landfill into compliance with the Bay Area Air Quality Management District's (BAAQMD) Rule 34. This involved the installation of a landfill gas collection system and a landfill gas flare.system. The flare system was designed to collect gas from all areas of the site including Laidlaw's and Pacific Gas and Electric's (PG&E) gas systems. GCE personnel also worked with Bill Graham Presents to control methane gas emissions from a grass seating area on the landfill. By the early 1990s, PG&E's LFG system was returned to the City. This system was old and in need of numerous repairs and upgrades. GCE was retained to re -design the landfill gas and leachate extraction systems for the 544-acre landfill parcel. The scope of work consisted of designing and preparing bid documents to upgrade the LFG system including leachate and condensate collection and disposal, LFG system expansion, and the preparation of bid documents including special provisions specifications. All work was performed to satisfy the applicable requirements of CCR Title 14 (Chapters 3 and 5) and Title 23 (Chapter 15), revised Article 5, 40 CFR Part 258 (Subtitle D) and the strict standards of the City of Mountain View. In addition, all designs complied with the requirements of CIWMB, BAAQMD, RWQCB, and the County of Santa Clara acting as LEA. GCE continues to be involved at the site, performing system upgrades as needed to help keep the system operating reliably. 9 +� s Project: Countvwide Landfill Gas Management Program; Kern Countv, CA Project Manager: Dan Waineo Budget: $840,000 Duration: 1997-Present Mr. Dan Waineo has been the project manager and design engineer on this countywide project since 1997.

The creek is steelhead trout habitat that experiences encroachment, land sliding, impaired water quality and habitat degradation. The project was to restore and enhance the watershed to create a self-sustaining ecosystem for fish passage and breeding over the long- term. Project: Bolsa Chica Wetlands Restoration, Orange County, CA Assistant Project Manager: Christopher Webb (Moffatt and Nichol) Budget: $3,000,000 Duration: 1997-Present In 1997, a group of federal and state agencies entered into a memorandum of agreement (MOA) with the Port of Los Angeles and Port of Long Beach to implement a coastal wetlands restoration project at Bolsa Chica. As part of the MOA, the group of agencies known collectively as the Steering Committee has taken the responsibility of developing eight restoration alternatives for Bolsa Chica and analyzing the alternatives through the California Environmental Quality Act and National Environmental Policy Act. M&N provided preliminary engineering services to the Steering Committee consisting of numerical modeling, analyses using empirical methods and equations, conceptual design, and disposal analyses. Tidal and flood hydraulic modeling was performed to determine the habitat distribution for each alternative and to assess the impact of flood and ebb bar shoaling on habitat distribution. Numerical water quality simulations were done to estimate the impacts of a tidal inlet on nearshore water quality and to evaluate the impact of flood flows on the restored coastal salt marsh habitat. Shoreline evolution modeling was 11 conducted to predict the impacts of bar formation, jetty construction, and maintenance dredging on the upcoast and downcoast shoreline reaches. Grant Application Process Experience Proiect: Nevada Division of Environmental Protection with a State-wide Brown elds redevelopment program Project Manager: Ken Zenobia Budget: $45,000 Duration: 2002-2003 Mr. Zenobia assisted the Nevada Division of Environmental Protection with a statewide Brownfields redevelopment program funded by an EPA Brownfields Assessment Demonstration Pilot grant and a revolving loan fund grant.

Emergencv Response LFG Collection Svstem Upgrade, and Flare Design / Build and O&M Services, Old Bakersfield Landtzll, Bakersfield, CA Project Manager: Richard Prosser Budget: $600,000 Duration: 6 Weeks LFG System Construction plus On -going Assitance The Bakersfield Old Sanitary Landfill is an unlined class 3 Landfill located in the City of Bakersfield, California, which has been inactive since 1981 Because of landfill settlement and other work performed at the site, by 1995 the landfill gas collection was not adequate to control offsite gas emissions. As a result methane concentration in the probes has increased to the point that one resident was eventually relocated due to methane emissions and odors. The City decided to take emergency actions to control offsite gas emissions. GCE was retained as a subconsultant by Kleinfelder to provide fast track design/construction services to control the lateral subsurface gas migration. Because of the immediate danger to life and health, GCE was asked to mobilize an engineer/design staff on -site within one week after the contract was signed and start the new system within six weeks. GCE accomplished this goal by completing the project within budget and starting the newly installed flare and control system one week ahead of schedule. The system that was designed is unique because it was designed to fit into the site closure plan without modifications. 13 5.0 SCHEDULE OF HOURLY RATES (Effective January 1, 2004) 5.1 Fee Structure/Benefits GCE's fee schedule is presented in Appendix C. The benefits of GCE's proposed fee schedule are: • GCE's hourly rates will be fixed through year 2005, provided prevailing rates do not exceed GCE's fees. • GCE will perform the work on a time, material and expense basis with a not -to -exceed maximum.
