RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that Council:
Approve and authorize the City Manager or designee to execute the attached contract
with Shaw Environmental in the amount of $401,350 to repair, replace and upgrade the
landfill gas and leachate collection system pursuant to CIP RF-09002.
Authorize the City Manager or his designee to negotiate and execute one or more change
orders to the contract with Shaw Environmental for related, additional but unforeseen
work which may develop during the project, the total value of which shall not exceed
$40,135.
DISCUSSION
Project Description
Work to be performed under this contract incl ~udes repair, replacement and upgrade to the landfill
gas and leachate collection and removal system within Byxbee Park, a 29 acre section of the Palo
Alto Landfill that was closed in 1990. The gas and leachate collection systems have been
experiencing significant problems over the last few years due to settlement and age-deterioration.
That has inhibited collection and removal of gas and leachate from the landfill within Byxbee
Park. Settlement of the buried PVC gas piping in several areas has allowed gas condensate to
collect in low areas of the piping, causing restrictions and preventing optimal vacuum on the gas
collection wells. In addition, older PVC gas piping has cracked (due to settlement) causing leaks
and high oxygen content in wells potentially causing the gas wells to be out of regulatory
compliance. Scaling (the build up of solids inside the piping) has blocked and inhibited the
extraction and flow of leachate, making it difficult to remove leachate from the landfill within
the Byxbee Park area.
Replacing the PVC gas piping with welded HDPE piping will allow the City to stay in
compliance with the Bay Area Air Quality Management District regulations regarding oxygen
CMR:322:08 Page 1 of 3
concentrations and methane surface emissions as well as to continue to provide the Palo Alto
Regional Water Quality Control Plant (RWQCP) with a beneficial supply of landfill gas to help
run its sludge incinerators. NeWHDPE leachate piping is necessary to alleviate blockage caused
by scaling and to prevent potential leachate leaks in the aged piping (that could result in
regulatory violations). The larger size piping will also help minimize the blockages caused by
scaling.
Generally, work under this contract includes:
¯Replacement of all buried LFG PVC piping with HDPE piping;
o Replacement of all buried HDPE undersized piping with large HDPE piping;
¯Replacement of six deteriorated gas wells (out of 18 total wells within Byxbee park);
¯Replacement of four gas condensate traps and tying them into the leachate extraction
system to meet newer regulatory requirements;
Installation of two new piezometer wells that will help measure the buildup of leachate
within the landfill; and
The proper abandonment of all replaced wells, gas condensate traps and other
components.
Full operation of the gas collection system is required by Air District Regulations during the
construction work.

responsible bidder. The bid is 16 percent below the engineer’s estimate of $476,625. The
change order amount of $40,135 which equals 10 percent of the total contract is requested
because of additional or unforeseen work associated with the environmental control systems
upgrades.
