Enclosed Flare Source Testing

Lane County Waste Management Division is seeking qualified firms to conduct source testing for an enclosed flare at the Short Mountain Landfill through a Request for Quotes (RFQ). The primary objective is to verify the flare's compliance with regulatory requirements, specifically demonstrating a 98% non-methane organic compound (NMOC) reduction and 99% methane destruction within 180 days of initial startup. The testing protocol requires annual testing for the first three years, with the potential to transition to triennial testing if continuous compliance is maintained. Specific test methods and parameters must be followed, with comprehensive reporting requirements for the testing results. Quotes are due by 5:00 p.m. on June 8, 2022, and the award will be made to the most advantageous quoter based on a combination of cost and qualifications. Lane County reserves the right to negotiate the scope of services and agreement price with the selected vendor, with the final decision to be made by the County Administrator.

The RFQ does not explicitly mention specific set-aside designations or restrictions on respondent organizations. No incumbent vendors are identified in the provided documentation. The testing will be conducted on an existing enclosed flare infrastructure at the Short Mountain Landfill, and the selected vendor will need to integrate their testing protocols with the current system. While a specific budget range is not disclosed, the RFQ covers testing requirements for the first three years, with the first year involving comprehensive testing and subsequent years focusing on methane testing. The procurement appears to be structured as a multi-year contract with potential for continued service based on the vendor's performance and the flare's compliance with regulatory standards. Interested firms will need to demonstrate technical expertise in landfill gas emission testing and the ability to meet stringent regulatory compliance requirements.
