Contract Number: 505CAP-M21-AD210875-01 Date: November 30, 2020

CONTRACT USER’S GUIDE

Scope:

Vendor provided services to conduct air emission stack testing services in accordance with the latest United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) reference test methods and State of Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (DNR) requirements.

The testing will be coordinated and scheduled by the Department of Administration, Division of Facilities Development and Management (DOA/DFDM). The testing includes a series of air emission tests to be conducted at various State of Wisconsin owned facilities

Contract Term:

This contract has an initial term starting December 1, 2020 through November 30, 2023.

Initial contract term is for three (3) years. At the end of the initial contract period, DFDM reserves the right to renew the contract for two (2) additional one (1) year terms, or re-bid upon completion of each one-year term.

PURCHASE ORDERS/INVOICES:

There shall be no formal Purchase Order Number issued for this contract. Use the contract number as the Purchase Order Number.

Invoices shall be submitted in duplicate after submittal of the final test report for each facility, to the address noted on the State Contract # 505CAP-M21- AD210875-01. Invoices shall identify cost of services provided at each specific location and identify the following:

1) Facility and location of the testing.

2) Cost for first emission test including associated analyses specified herein.

3) Number and cost for any additional testing authorized (particulate, sulfur dioxide, hydrogen chloride, etc.).

4) Cost for (EPA Method 9) Visible Emission (opacity) observations monitoring report associated with each particular test run done (if appropriate).

5) Cost for any rescheduling or cancellation of scheduled tests.

6) Individually itemized costs for any Testing Services Fee per the prices submitted by contractor on attachment “B bid form herein.

7) Total cost of the above.

Services Provided by the State of Wisconsin:

a. Scheduling of emission tests: DOA will notify appropriate DNR and EPA personnel of planned test in writing.

b. Invite DNR and/or EPA agency personnel to witness the tests.

c. Record boiler-operating data in a manner acceptable to the regulatory agency for inclusion by contractor into final report.

d. Provide 115 volts, 20 amps single phase, and 60 Hertz grounded plug service within 20 feet of the base of the chimney or sampling location if different than chimney. (In most cases 220volt power can also be provided but contractor must request ahead of time.)

e. State of Wisconsin will provide certified smoke readers for taking any required opacity readings, unless otherwise specified in the test plan.

Scheduling of Emission Tests:

Primary contractor will be provided with 30-calendar day written notice of scheduled test dates required by the State of Wisconsin Department of Administration. If the primary contractor is unable to meet the schedule, written notice must be provided to the Department of Administration within five (5) days of receiving the State’s test schedule notice.

Emission Testing:

Stack emission testing shall include needed flow measurements, as required to perform comprehensive EPA test methods.

Testing must commence by 8.00 a.m. on the date scheduled for testing unless otherwise agreed to by DOA.

The velocities of exhaust gases are often too low to be measured accurately with a type S pitot and a standard manometer, thus requiring the use of one-quarter inch scale manometers or micro-manometers. Nozzle sizes of 0.625 to 0.75 inch are common.

Stack testing shall be performed in accordance with latest Wisconsin DNR requirements, Wis. Adm. Code NR 439 and US EPA Reference Test Methods, 40 CFR Part 60, Appendix A& B Specific methods to be followed include some or all of the following:

Relative Accuracy Audit (RAA) per PS-16 for the nitrogen oxide (NOx0, AND CARBON

MONOXIDE (co) PREDICTIVE EMISSION MONITOR System (PEMS), performed to the specifications of PS16. (methods 3A,7E) (Including written test plan)

EPA METHOD 1 - Sample and Velocity Traverses for Stationary Sources.

EPA METHOD 2 - Determination of Stack Gas Velocity and Volumetric Flow Rate.

EPA METHOD 3 - Gas Analysis for Carbon Dioxide, Oxygen, Excess Air and Dry Molecular Weight.

EPA METHOD 4 - Determination of Moisture in Stack Gases.

EPA METHOD 5 - Determination of Particulates Emissions for

Stationary Sources.

(Wisconsin DNR Method 5, Particulate including back half)

EPA Method 5, Particulate (no back half)

EPA METHOD 6 - Determination of Sulfur Dioxide Emissions from Stationary Sources.

EPA METHOD 6C - Determination of Sulfur Dioxide Emissions, instrument method may be used.

EPA Method 7E – Nitrogen Oxide, Instrumental

EPA METHOD 9 - Visible emissions observation.

Method 10B – Carbon Monoxide

METHOD 19 – Determination of sulfur dioxide removal efficiency and particulate matter, sulfur dioxide, and nitrogen oxide emission rates.

Relative Accuracy Test Audit (RATA) for the nitrogen oxide (NOx), and carbon monoxide (CO) predictive emission monitor, performed to the specifications of PS 16. (Methods 3A, 7E, and 10).

Report Results:

At the conclusion of the tests at each location, an electronic copy of the final test report shall be submitted to the Department of Administration as a DIGITAL COPY on a 64 GB (minimum) USB drive and sent via email.

The report shall summarize the inspection methods and findings of the series of emission tests.

The report shall have complete documentation attached as appendices of all test and analytical methods, field data, calculation summaries, boiler operating data, fuel quantity, fuel sample proximate analyses, equipment calibration data.

The test report must (at a minimum) include the following information:

Introduction with summary of test program including: A listing of key personnel involved including facility, regulatory and test team (identify all team members); name and location of facility, pollutants sampled; and dates of testing.

Summary table of test results, process description and operating parameters during testing; Description and schematic drawing of test location, including duct diameter, dimensions to disturbances, location and configuration of sampling ports, number and configuration of traverse points, port length and port diameter. Discussion of any problems encountered during testing, or special traversing or measurement schemes. Legible copies of all field data sheet and laboratory analysis results. Detailed calculation input data and results and explanation of calculation procedures.

The copies of the report must be received by the Department of Administration, 101 East Wilson Street, Madison, WI 53702 (delivery address), within 30 calendar days after completion of the on-site testing.

Cancellation or Rescheduling:

Cancellation is defined to be a termination of a scheduled emission testing services.

When cancellation is due to reasons beyond the contractor's control, such as severe weather conditions, the contractor may bill for direct costs associated with the delay.

Direct costs mean labor costs and actual incurred per diem expenses for the day of the originally scheduled test. When cancellation is due to errors or omissions by the contractor the state will not pay for any costs incurred by the contractor, in addition the cancellation may be cause for termination of the contract.

When a test is cancelled because of problems with State owned equipment to be tested, the contractor may bill for direct costs incurred for the set-up day and the test day. Cancellation billings may not exceed the bid cost of the scheduled test.

Rescheduling is defined to be a postponement, or delay of a scheduled emission test without 7 calendar days’ notice. If rescheduling occurs at the request of the State of Wisconsin such that a scheduled test date on the contractors work schedule remains unfilled, the contractor may bill for direct costs associated with the delay.

The State will not pay a rescheduling penalty when another test site is substituted for the originally scheduled test location. If rescheduling occurs at the request of the contractor or due to errors or omissions by the contractor the State will not pay for any costs incurred by the contractor, in addition the rescheduling may be cause for termination of the contract. Rescheduling billing may not exceed the bid cost of the schedule test.

Guarantee:

Contractor guarantees that the test was conducted and detailed in the final report will be acceptable in format and content to the Wisconsin DNR and US EPA. Contractor shall correct identified deficiencies at no additional cost to the State of Wisconsin, if the final report is determined to be not acceptable in any significant aspect(s), e.g. format, procedures, methodology used, calculations, etc. by DOA, the Wisconsin DNR or United States

EPA.
