"Firm" as used herein refers to the party submitting a Statement of Qualifications. "Contractor" as used herein refers to the firm awarded the Contract resulting from the Request for Qualifications. Service Needed CalRecycle seeks to hire an engineering and environmental consulting firm to provide assistance with inspecting, assessing, making recommendations, and potentially replacing portions of an existing landfill gas (LFG) multi-level monitoring probe (probe cluster) system consisting of approximately thirty (30) wells with multiple monitoring probes in each well, at the BKK Sanitary Class III Landfill (landfill) located in West Covina, California. The landfill accepted municipal solid waste from 1963 to 1996. In 1997, the BKK Corporation (BKK) submitted its Final Postclosure Maintenance Plan (Plan) to CalRecycle's predecessor agency. The Plan committed to regular maintenance and monitoring of the landfill, including operating and maintaining the control systems that prevent the release of explosive methane gas and/or leachate generated by the landfill; monitoring of landfill gas and ground water monitoring wells; and maintaining the final cover. The landfill ceased accepting waste and was closed in 2009. Deferred maintenance and replacement of the landfill gas monitoring system was not included in the post-closure maintenance cost estimates prepared for the landfill.
