Insurance shall be placed with insurers with a Best's rating of no less than A-VII. ix. Prior to commencement of performance, Contractor shall furnish City with a certificate of insurance for each policy. Each certificate is to be signed by a person authorized by that insurer to bind coverage on its behalf. The certificate(s) must be in a form approved by City.
x. Failure to maintain required insurance at all times shall constitute a default and material breach. In such event, Contractor shall immediately notify City and cease all performance under this Agreement until further directed by the City.

1 Introduction
In response to the City of Vernon, Public Utilities Department (VPU) Request for Proposals (RFP) for environmental compliance services, Jacobs Engineering Group Inc. (Jacobs) is pleased to submit this proposal to support VPU in meeting its regulatory needs for the period of July 1, 2023 through June 30, 2026.

This proposal provides a description of our understanding of this assignment, as well as significant steps, methods, and procedures to be employed to verify that quality deliverables can be delivered within the required time frames and proposed budget. This proposal includes a General Scope of Work, a detailed Work Plan for each of the requested tasks, a demonstration of our Ability of the Proposer to Perform the work through a description of our qualifications as a company and as individual members of the proposed Project Team, and References. The members proposed for this scope of work have the required professional licenses and certifications customary and necessary to conduct work in the areas proposed and key members have well over the required five years of experience conducting work in the area of environmental compliance. In addition, this proposal includes the following attachments:
 Attachment A – Completed Affidavit of Non-Collusion by Contractor  Attachment B – Organization Chart
 Attachment C – Resumes of Key Personnel
 Attachment D – Example Compliance Calendar
In addition, as requested in the RFP, the Fees and Costs as well as Proposed Revisions to the Contract Terms and Conditions have been included in a separate e-mail submittal.

Project Understanding
VPU is seeking assistance with maintaining the integrity of its environmental compliance program through the following three key methods: compliance reporting and plan maintenance, daily technical on-call support, and periodic support (on-site or virtual).

Specifically, VPU is seeking these methods of support for five facilities/divisions including VPU’s Electric Utility, Gas Utility, Water Utility, Malburg Generating Station (MGS), and Station A.

In coordination with VPU, Jacobs helped establish VPU’s environmental compliance program in 2011 and has been supporting the maintenance of the program since. The program originally included only Station A and the Electric and Gas Utilities but has grown to include the Water Utility in 2017 and MGS in December 2021. As such, Jacobs is familiar with VPU’s operations and compliance obligations, has established working relationships with VPU staff, and is well equipped to prepare the necessary reports Request for Proposals for Environmental Compliance Services 2 efficiently and on time to meet regulatory deadlines. Our proposed core delivery team is currently supporting VPU and has a proven record of delivery success.

Methods for Delivery
Jacobs will meet VPU’s compliance obligations by maintaining an efficient, inclusive compliance reporting program based on VPU’s established program. This includes preparing reports that comply with regulatory requirements, responding to regulatory agency inquiries in the required time frame, and submitting compliance reports to the appropriate agency on time. Jacobs uses the following strategies so that the project is executed timely, of high quality, and delivered efficiently:

Project Team
This contract will be managed by Elyse Engel, an air quality, greenhouse gas (GHG), and environmental compliance specialist who has supported and managed VPU’s environmental compliance efforts since 2011. Andrea White, a registered Professional Engineer, will continue to support VPU as the project’s senior technical consultant (STC) responsible for overall quality of project deliverables and air quality compliance specialist. She has supported VPU’s environmental efforts since 2015 and has provided environmental compliance support to various clients in southern California since 2005.

This leadership team works closely with Jacobs’ subject matter experts (SMEs), as needed, to meet project milestones and budget, while confirming high quality deliverables through implementing a rigorous internal review process. The leadership team also has the support of Jacobs’ vast technical resources, including personnel who have supported previous and current environmental compliance work for VPU and other projects in southern California. Attachment B includes an organization chart showing our proposed key team members; their technical resumes are included in Attachment C.

As a natural gas-fired power plant with major emission sources operating under a Title V Permit and subject to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) Acid Rain Program, among others, MGS’ operations are subject to more environmental regulations than VPU’s other facilities/divisions and require near constant due diligence with regards to maintenance of its Continuous Emissions Monitoring System (CEMS). To address this critical need, the Jacobs project team includes a dedicated group of individuals to provide daily, on-call support to MGS’ Control Room Operators (CROs). This team is currently providing compliance support for MGS’ operations, have established working relationships with MGS’ CROs, and supported the development and implementation of a flowchart for excess emissions reporting and other compliance reporting procedures and templates following the site’s transition to new ownership under VPU. Through our experience during the transition of ownership over the last 18 months, this team is well prepared to provide a seamless continuation of daily support to MGS’ CROs with a number of lessons learned to facilitate more efficient and seamless project delivery.

Request for Proposals for Environmental Compliance Services 3 The proposed Jacobs project team has extensive historical knowledge of VPU and its operations, including MGS, based on the broad compliance support provided over the past 12 years. As a result of a long history serving VPU, our team is very familiar with VPU’s compliance needs and has the ability to work effectively and efficiently when producing reports and completing other tasks for VPU. Core team members perform cross-training through peer review, enabling a range of individuals to take on various reporting tasks and meet deadlines in a timely fashion. Alongside this, our SMEs provide high-level review of deliverables and are available for consultation, as needed, during the report preparation process. These SMEs are also available for consultation in preparation for or in follow-up to agency inspections and to address periodic regulatory compliance concerns. Our SMEs are well engaged and familiar with the reporting requirements of the agencies governing VPU’s operations, including but not limited to the following: South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD), California Energy Commission (CEC), California Air Resources Board (CARB), EPA, Los Angeles County Sanitation Districts (LACSD), Los Angeles Regional Water Quality Control Board (LARWQCB), and Certified Unified Program Agency (CUPA).

Schedule
Jacobs understands that it is critically important to meet schedule deadlines as they are often tied to regulatory reporting deadlines. To facilitate this, Jacobs will use the work flows established in VPU’s compliance calendars to prepare reports in advance of the reporting deadline to allow for proper review and certification by VPU. We have found that this approach helps mitigate the risk for impacts to the delivery schedule.

Communications
We first align with you on roles, responsibilities, and a regular communication schedule.

Once we’ve kicked off the project, we proactively communicate with you through monthly calls with key project stakeholders to discuss any critical issues, upcoming deliverables, and any schedule constraints. We engage with you and your relevant stakeholders collaboratively to meet deadlines. Our team, experienced with working together for many years, is available for you to reach out to for any issues. Working closely, we provide you with the information needed to communicate with each of VPU’s facilities/divisions, as needed. Additionally, to facilitate prompt responses to the unique, on-call needs of MGS’ CROs, Jacobs has established an e-mail distribution list which reaches the members of the MGS support team. MGS’ CROs also have a call list and instructions for reaching each member of the MGS support team via phone for more urgent requests.

Records Management
VPU has established two SharePoint sites, one for MGS and one for Station A and the Electric, Gas, and Water Utilities, that Jacobs can access to transfer and store electronic data files belonging to VPU. Jacobs will keep a copy of draft and final reports on these Request for Proposals for Environmental Compliance Services 4 SharePoint sites, along with the supporting data used to prepare the reports. The reports will detail assumptions, data sources, and calculation methodologies, as applicable. Such clear documentation will facilitate data collection and report re-creation in future years should new personnel join the team. Jacobs will update these SharePoint sites on at least a quarterly basis.

Quality Management
To provide high quality deliverables, Jacobs will implement a Quality Management Plan.

The Quality Management Plan describes the steps Jacobs will follow to provide quality assurance of deliverables prior to VPU receipt. Since data will largely be collected on-site by VPU personnel, Jacobs will, to the extent reasonable, assume that data provided has already been quality assured. However, as the appropriate Jacobs team member compiles the received data, they will also review it for inconsistencies with historical data and outliers. They will then prepare the required analysis and report. A Jacobs peer and STC will perform a detailed review of draft reports for consistency with prior years’ reporting and regulatory requirements prior to delivery.

Furthermore, for reports that are submitted via online reporting tools and programs, Jacobs will prepare internal calculations as a means of independently validating the calculations performed directly within the online reporting tools and programs. The use of these internally developed calculation templates helps confirm there are no inconsistencies or inaccuracies in the data submitted to regulatory agencies.

Change Management
If you require assistance in a matter beyond the scope specified above, a change in the scope, budget, and deliverables schedule may be necessary. We track these requests and, as appropriate, discuss any change with VPU prior to commencing the proposed change. It is Jacobs’ understanding that all changes that may affect the budget would, after confirmation with the VPU Utilities Compliance Administrator, be submitted to the General Manager of VPU detailing the reason additional funding is required and the quantity of additional funding requested. Work not included in this current scope would not begin without full authorization from VPU.
5 General Scope of Work
Our perception of this scope of work is to provide environmental compliance support to each of VPU’s facilities/divisions, largely through the implementation and management of robust compliance calendars. As part of our commitment to providing environmental compliance services to VPU, Jacobs works to continuously track regulatory updates to identify potential compliance implications associated with frequently changing federal and state environmental regulations. With the combination of continuous regulatory tracking, review by experienced and knowledgeable compliance staff, and close communication with VPU, Jacobs has successfully managed VPU’s compliance requirements and consistently delivered plans, resources, and solutions empowering VPU to make informed decisions regarding its operations and recordkeeping practices.

Compliance documents prepared for VPU’s Electric Utility, Gas Utility, Water Utility, MGS, and Station A will be submitted to various agencies. As part of this task, Jacobs organizes data collection, performs quality control checks, prepares draft and final documents for VPU’s review, and supervises the submittal of each compliance document to the appropriate agency by the required deadline. As necessary, Jacobs also coordinates activities with third-party contractors. This work will be delivered by a project team that understands the site and where potential challenges may arise based on experience.

To confirm that quality deliverables are completed on time and within the allotted budget, Jacobs will develop and distribute a unique compliance calendar for each of VPU’s facilities/divisions as part of this contract. Jacobs has used compliance calendars, in conjunction with an experienced project team, to cost-efficiently track, update, and deliver environmental compliance services to VPU for the past 12 years. For each deliverable, these compliance calendars establish data requirements, assign roles and responsibilities for each stage of preparation and review, and track progress through completion. This level of organization provides clear accountability and provides VPU with a transparent and complete tracking of each compliance task from start to finish.

Schedule & Key Resources
Jacobs will leverage our experience and knowledge of VPU’s operations and reporting programs to complete the necessary reporting requirements on time and within budget.

While each of VPU’s facilities/divisions has its own unique compliance needs, Jacobs will use the same core team, as supplemented by our regional and global experts, to provide Request for Proposals for Environmental Compliance Services 6 continuity and expertise in delivery. As in previous years, Elyse Engel will lead this effort, supported by Jacobs’ junior and mid-level resources. Additional key resources include:
 Electric and Gas Utilities:
- GHG STC Stephanie McMackin will provide subject matter expertise and senior review of deliverables
- Local southern California staff will support in-person GHG verification activities  Water Utility:
- Air quality STC Andrea White and potable/recycled water STC Brian Skeens will provide subject matter expertise and senior review of deliverables - Veronica Jarrin will serve as an independent validator of the water loss reporting  MGS:
- Air quality STC Andrea White, GHG STC Stephanie McMackin, industrial wastewater STC Alison Brown, stormwater STC Gino Nguyen, hazardous materials/waste STC Elizabeth Luecker, and CEC STC Jerry Salamy will provide subject matter expertise and senior review of deliverables - Additional subject matter expertise will be provided by Josephine Lee for matters pertaining to the site’s CEMS and Jeremy Hollins for matters pertaining to the site’s Cultural Resources Conditions of Certification (COC) - A dedicated team of Jacobs resources will be available to MGS’ CROs for on-call, daily environmental compliance support and data review
- Staff located in southern California or the larger southwest who are familiar with MGS’ emissions sources and operations will support in-person GHG verification, stormwater inspection, and source testing activities, as needed  Station A:
- Air quality STC Andrea White, GHG STC Stephanie McMackin, and industrial wastewater STC Alison Brown will provide subject matter expertise and senior review of deliverables
- Local southern California staff who are familiar with Station A’s emissions sources and operations will support in-person source testing activities A detailed list of deliverables and their associated data, deadlines, reviewing agency, and submittal method, as well as the work flow for deliverable preparation and review, will be developed for each of VPU’s five facilities/divisions. An example of such a list (i.e., a compliance calendar) is presented in Attachment D for VPU’s Electric Utility. Once developed, Jacobs will work closely with VPU staff to keep these compliance calendars updated with regards to ongoing compliance obligations. Jacobs will use these compliance calendars to confirm that reports and plans are submitted on time, following the established work flow.
7 Work Plan
VPU is comprised of several divisions, each responsible for different aspects of VPU’s operation. Each operation is governed by several permitting agencies. For example, VPU has multiple air permits issued by SCAQMD, two industrial wastewater discharge permits administered by LACSD, one license administered by CEC, and coverage under the statewide General Permit for Stormwater Discharges Associated with Industrial Activities (IGP), which is administered by LARWQCB. VPU is responsible for these permits as they regulate industrial activities occurring at Station A, MGS, and other VPU installations.

Other agencies which interact with VPU on environmental issues include, but are not limited to, CARB, EPA, and CUPA.

Task-Level Support
Jacobs will support VPU’s ongoing compliance with the above-mentioned permits and regulatory agencies through completion of the tasks described below, as aligned to the three key delivery methods previously identified.

A. Compliance Reporting & Plan Maintenance
The following sections describe the compliance reports and plans that will be prepared and/or maintained under this contract. The most recent regulatory guidelines will be used for each. For efficiency, draft and final reports will be prepared using the site’s existing templates and the applicable online reporting tools and platforms, to which Jacobs staff already have access. With delivery of the draft reports, Jacobs will highlight major differences from prior reporting years for VPU’s review. Draft and final deliverables will be provided in electronic format only.

Electric Utility
Jacobs will support VPU’s Electric Utility by preparing and/or maintaining the following compliance reports and plans:
 Annual GHG emissions inventories for VPU’s Electricity Distribution System and Gas Insulated Equipment (GIE), both of which are submitted to CARB via the California Electronic Greenhouse Gas Reporting Tool (Cal e-GGRT)
 Annual Registration of Specified Electricity Import and Export Sources, which is submitted to CARB in association with VPU’s Electricity Distribution System GHG Emissions Inventory
 Annual update of the GHG Inventory Management Plan
Please note that, although the RFP identifies annual GHG emissions reporting to the EPA, Jacobs is not aware of any such current requirements for VPU’s Electric Utility.

Although not specified in the RFP, Jacobs will update annually the GHG Inventory Request for Proposals for Environmental Compliance Services 8 Management Plan addressing GHG emissions reporting for both the Electric and Gas Utilities, as it is needed in support of annual GHG verification activities.

Gas Utility
Jacobs will support VPU’s Gas Utility by preparing the following compliance reports:
 Annual GHG emission inventories for VPU’s Natural Gas Transmission and Distribution System, which are submitted to both EPA and CARB via the Electronic Greenhouse Gas Reporting Tool (e-GGRT) and Cal e-GGRT, respectively Please note that the annual GHG Inventory Management Plan update described under the Electric Utility above also encompasses GHG emissions reporting for the Gas Utility and is not separately listed here.

Water Utility
Jacobs will support VPU’s Water Utility by preparing the following compliance reports:
 Annual Emissions Reports (AERs), which are submitted to SCAQMD via the AER website for four facilities with only backup generators  Annual Water Loss Audit, which is submitted to California Department of Water Resources
 Validation of the Annual Water Loss Audit by an independent Jacobs team MGS
Jacobs will support VPU’s MGS by preparing and/or maintaining the following compliance reports and plans:
 Monthly:
- Nitrogen Oxides Emissions Reports for Major Sources, which are submitted to SCAQMD via the Remote Terminal Unit (RTU)
 Quarterly:
- Quarterly Certification of Emission Reports (QCERs), which are submitted to SCAQMD, partially via the Electronic Reporting System (ERS) website and RTU - Quarterly Compliance Reports (QCRs), which are submitted to CEC - Quarterly Emissions Data Reports (EDRs), which are submitted to EPA via the Emissions Collection and Monitoring Plan System (ECMPS) and include flow-toload calculations  Semi-annually:
- Semi-Annual Monitoring (SAM) Reports, which are submitted to SCAQMD - Semi-Annual Self-Monitoring Reports, which are submitted to LACSD Request for Proposals for Environmental Compliance Services 9  Annually:
- Annual Compliance Reports (ACRs), which are submitted to CEC and include annual compliance reports for COC CUL-8 and 5-year compliance reports for COCs HAZ-6 and HAZ-7
- Annual GHG emissions inventories for stationary combustion sources, which are submitted to both EPA and CARB via e-GGRT and Cal e-GGRT, respectively - Annual Permit Emissions Program (APEP) Reports, which are submitted to SCAQMD
- AERs, which are submitted to SCAQMD via the AER website - Annual Compliance Certification (ACC) Reports, which are submitted to both SCAQMD and EPA
- Annual Stormwater Reports, which are submitted to LARWQCB via the Stormwater Multiple Application and Report Tracking System (SMARTS) - Annual Industrial Wastewater Surcharge Statements (Long Form), which are submitted to LACSD
- Periodic updates and annual certification of the Hazardous Materials Business Plan (HMBP), which is submitted to CUPA via the California Environmental Reporting System (CERS)
- Annual update of the GHG Monitoring Plan
- Annual update of the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) - Periodic review of the CEMS Quality Assurance/Quality Check Plan  Every five years, assuming either the five-year update or a major change requiring a plan update falls within the contract period:
- Update of the Risk Management Plan (RMP), which is submitted to CUPA - Update of the Spill Prevention Control and Countermeasures (SPCC) Plan Please note that, although not explicitly included in the RFP, Jacobs is including compliance reports associated with COCs CUL-8, HAZ-6, and HAZ-7 as part of the ACR, when required. Historically, these reports have been prepared under the contract for Station A; however, Jacobs believes they are better aligned to MGS as they are required by COCs within MGS’ CEC license. Similarly, Jacobs will prepare flow-to-load calculations each quarter as part of the quarterly EDRs. Including these calculations in the EDR submittals will allow VPU to potentially extend the frequency between periodic maintenance activities required for quality assurance.

Request for Proposals for Environmental Compliance Services 10 Station A
Jacobs will support VPU’s Station A by preparing and/or maintaining the following compliance reports and plans:
 Quarterly:
- QCERs, which will be submitted to SCAQMD, partially via the ERS website  Semi-annually:
- SAM Reports, which are submitted to SCAQMD
 Annually:
- APEP Reports, which are submitted to SCAQMD
- AERs, which are submitted to SCAQMD via the AER website - ACC Reports, which are submitted to both SCAQMD and EPA - Annual Industrial Wastewater Surcharge Statements (Short Form), which are submitted to LACSD
Please note that, although the RFP identifies annual GHG emissions reporting for sulfur hexafluoride to CARB, it is Jacobs understanding that this is already captured by the GIE GHG emissions inventory under the Electric Utility.

B. Daily Technical On-Call Support
Jacobs’ support of VPU with environmental compliance during and immediately following acquisition of MGS allows our team to be well prepared to promptly and seamlessly guide and support MGS’ CROs through data quality reviews, emissions reporting, emergency events, and any unexpected technical issues.

Jacobs will provide daily technical support and as needed, swift responses to MGS’ CROs including, but not limited to, the following:
 Reviewing MGS’ daily operation and calibration reports  Reviewing, verifying, and correcting daily emission submittals to SCAQMD  Confirming emission limits are not exceeded during normal operations and startup/shutdown events
 Providing emergency compliance guidance and follow-up reporting in the event of a breakdown or excess emissions event
 Updating gas chromatograph values within the Data Acquisition and Handling System (DAHS)
 Querying data needed for compliance reporting
 Troubleshooting DAHS issues
 Enacting data substitution for periods of invalid data following the site’s data replacement procedures, consistent with applicable SCAQMD and EPA regulations Request for Proposals for Environmental Compliance Services 11 The proposed daily technical and as needed support is expected to follow the labor schedule below:
 Up to 14 hours per week to conduct daily reviews, including up to six hours per week for non-routine on-call support
 Up to 32 hours total for DAHS and report troubleshooting support  Up to 44 hours total for querying report data and updating the DAHS In addition, Jacobs will provide up to 40 hours per year (120 hours total) of support for miscellaneous compliance issues including, but not limited to, the following:
 Researching CEMS analyzer improvements
 Identifying additional tests that may be triggered by various maintenance activities, and reminding VPU of upcoming deadlines for completing maintenance activities associated with environmental compliance
 Reviewing and updating DAHS calculations for ammonia slip, carbon monoxide, etc.  Responding to CUPA audit findings related to hazardous materials/waste management
 Providing guidance on hazardous waste manifests, secondary storage, and maintenance of the site’s hazardous materials/waste inventory  Reviewing stormwater sampling results to confirm compliance with the IGP and submitting associated Ad Hoc Reports to LARWQCB via SMARTS  Reviewing industrial wastewater sampling results and wastewater discharges to confirm compliance with the site’s Industrial Wastewater Discharge Permit Please note that when data substitution or recalculations are required in support of a compliance deliverable, effort to do so will be provided under the compliance reporting and plan maintenance task described above.

C. Periodic Support (On-site or Virtual)
Jacobs’ 12 years of environmental compliance support for VPU has included both onsite and virtual support for a variety of needs including inspections, GHG verifications, and source testing. The following sections describe the on-site and/or virtual periodic support that will be provided under this contract.

Electric Utility
The Electric Utility will undergo one in-person and two virtual GHG verifications. Jacobs will participate in the in-person verification and up to one, 2-hour conference call per virtual verification. To minimize travel expenses, it is assumed that in-person support will occur on the same day as in-person verification activities for VPU’s Gas Utility and MGS.

In order to transparently address verifier data requests and findings, Jacobs will develop a Response Matrix that identifies the verifier’s request or finding, provides VPU’s response, Request for Proposals for Environmental Compliance Services 12 and directs the verifier to supporting documentation. This approach has been successfully implemented by Jacobs in the past and enables tracking of findings through closeout.

Jacobs will revise GHG emissions inventories if warranted by verification findings.

Gas Utility
The Gas Utility will undergo one in-person and two virtual GHG verifications. Jacobs’ proposed support for these GHG verification activities will be the same as those presented for the Electric Utility above.

MGS
Jacobs anticipates that MGS will require support of three Relative Accuracy Test Audit (RATA) test events (one per year), three ammonia slip test events (one per year and expected to occur concurrently with the RATA test events), and one triennial source test event under this contract. We propose to provide remote support of these activities by reviewing VPU’s source test plan and expected operating conditions, protocols, and reports. We will also facilitate agency submittal of the protocols, 10-day notification, and reports per the required schedule.

Based on Jacobs recent source testing experience at MGS, in-person support during these activities would be beneficial in order to facilitate on-demand data extraction for the source testers. Up to two Jacobs staff will provide up to four days of in-person support for each of these activities (e.g., during the one triennial source test event and the three combined RATA/ammonia slip test events).

Jacobs will provide remote support for up to three annual SCAQMD inspections under this contract. While it is understood that VPU included two inspections in the RFP, it is Jacobs’ understanding that SCAQMD conducts inspections each fall, following closure of the Regional Clean Air Incentives Market (RECLAIM) compliance year, which will amount to three inspections during this contract period. To transparently address inspector data requests and inquiries, Jacobs will develop a Response Matrix similar to that described for GHG verifications under the Electric Utility above. The key difference is that this Response Matrix would place an emphasis on demonstrating VPU’s compliance with various permit requirements.

Jacobs’ stormwater STC and a Qualified Industrial Stormwater Professional, Gino Nguyen, will perform, if necessary, an on-site Level 1 Exceedance Response Action (ERA). This includes an evaluation, report preparation, and report submittal to LARWQCB via SMARTS. An on-site Level 1 ERA will only be required under this contract if the site’s stormwater sampling results exceed the action levels specified in the IGP.

Similar to the other VPU sites, MGS will undergo one in-person and two virtual GHG verifications. Jacobs’ proposed support for these GHG verification activities will be the same as those presented for the Electric Utility above.

Jacobs will prepare a Title V Permit modification, if needed, to facilitate MGS’ exit from RECLAIM. We will further support this effort by performing a review of the draft, revised Request for Proposals for Environmental Compliance Services 13 permit issued by SCAQMD. To best support this effort, Jacobs will attend regulatory working group meetings associated with the RECLAIM transition to determine potential impacts to MGS’ compliance program and existing Title V Permit. The MGS Title V Permit renewal will not be required until 2027 and is not, therefore, included in this proposal.

Station A
Both of Station A’s Gonzales Units will require annual source testing beginning in 2026. As such, Jacobs will remotely support these activities by reviewing VPU’s source test plan and expected operating conditions, protocols, and reports. Jacobs will also facilitate agency submittal of the protocols, 10-day notification, and reports per the required schedule.

Jacobs will also provide remote support for up to three annual SCAQMD inspections under this contract. While it is understood that VPU included two inspections in the RFP, it is Jacobs’ understanding that SCAQMD conducts inspections each fall, following closure of the RECLAIM compliance year, which will amount to three inspections during this contract period. To transparently address inspector data requests and inquiries, Jacobs will develop a Response Matrix similar to that described for SCAQMD inspections under MGS above.

Jacobs will prepare a Title V Permit modification, if needed, to facilitate Station A’s exit from RECLAIM and establish its low-use exemption under SCAMD Rule 1135. We will further support this effort by performing a review of the draft, revised permit issued by SCAQMD. To best support this effort, Jacobs will attend regulatory working group meetings associated with the RECLAIM transition to determine potential impacts to Station A’s compliance program and existing Title V Permit. The Station A Title V Permit renewal will not be required until 2027 and is not, therefore, included in this proposal.

VPU also plans to install CEMS on both Gonzales Units to maintain compliance with SCAQMD Rule 1135 after 2026. Jacobs will support these plans by preparing the CEMS application for submittal to the SCAQMD and providing remote compliance support during the installation and operation of the CEMS.

D. Project Management
Although not explicitly listed in the RFP, additional, nominal effort for each facility/division is included to effectively manage these environmental compliance services. Routine project management activities are expected to include team coordination, monthly preparation of a consolidated invoice and status report, and preparation of a Jacobs-specific health and safety plan to emphasize the safe work practices to be followed by Jacobs staff when on-site. Additionally, best practice and our experience working with VPU indicates the benefits of frequent correspondence with VPU management. As such, up to two Jacobs staff are expected to participate in monthly 30-minute conference calls with VPU management. During these calls, Jacobs will provide a status update regarding reporting activities and facilitate discussion of other compliance concerns.

Work Performed by Jacobs:

Jacobs has a long history of providing environmental and licensing support to VPU, having performed work for VPU from August 2005 through June 2023. Specifically, we have helped manage VPU’s environmental compliance program since June 2011.

During the past 12 years, key services provided to VPU include environmental compliance support for air quality reporting and permitting, as well as GHG, industrial wastewater, stormwater, potable/recycled water, and hazardous materials compliance reporting. We also reviewed evolving air quality and climate change regulations.

Project Manager; Application for Certification; Salton Sea Unit 6 Geothermal Power Plant; Mid American Energy Holding Company; Imperial County, CA. Managed the licensing of a 185-MW geothermal power plant in Imperial County, California. The power plant design was based on the flash geothermal power plant process, which produces both solid and liquid byproducts (brine cake and spent brine) that required disposal. The project site was located in a rural area of Imperial County, but was adjacent to a National Wildlife Refuge that supports significant populations of avian species. The licensing process involved the review of all environmental areas, specifically focused on waste disposal, air quality, hazardous materials handling, and biological resources. Managed preparation of over 500 data responses to requests submitted by the State and the public. The project was successfully completed, with a license issued by the CEC.

In addition to the power plant license, a Biological Assessment (BA) was submitted to United States Fish and Wildlife Service for the Section 7 consultation due to potential wildlife impacts. The primary wildlife species addressed in the BA were Yuma Clapper rails, Burrowing Owls, Mountain Plover, and California Brown Pelicans. Extensive Yuma Clapper rail protocol surveys were performed to support the BA development and subsequent compliance with the Biological Opinion.

Project components required the fill of a small portion of the Salton Sea and several ephemeral streams associated with the 31 mile transmission lines. These fill activities required the preparation of a Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Plan of Development and wetland delineations that were submitted to the Corp of Engineers in support of the Section 404 permit applications and California Department of Fish and Wildlife Section (CDFW) 1600 Lake and Streambed Alteration permit.

Jerry also prepared an amendment to the CEC license to allow for the generation of an additional 35 MW of electricity through increased geothermal fluid extraction combined with the use of an organic rankin cycle (ORC) system. The ORC was designed to use waste heat from the geothermal fluid after passing though the steam generation portion of the binary type geothermal process. The modification to the project required Jacobs to complete the reanalysis of the impacts to all environmental areas. The amendment was approved by the CEC.

Mary Beth Baxter Elyse Engel
Manager of Projects Project Manager
Request for Proposals for Environmental Compliance Services – Fees and Costs 1 Fees and Costs for Environmental
Compliance Services
Jacobs Engineering Group Inc. (Jacobs) has prepared this cost estimate based on the May 9, 2023, proposal provided in response to the City of Vernon, Public Utilities Department’s (VPU) Request for Proposals (RFP) for Environmental Compliance Services. As requested by the RFP, this cost estimate is being submitted as a separate document and includes our detailed assumptions for the tasks described within the proposed scope of work.

Cost Assumptions
Per Item 4 of the City of Vernon’s Standard Form Contract, contained in Exhibit B of the RFP, it is assumed that the period of performance for the proposed scope of work would be up to three years in length, beginning on July 1, 2023, and extending through June 30, 2026. The budget proposed for this work assumes the full three years of support at labor rates subject to escalation each calendar year.

The following sections provide clarifications regarding our cost estimate as compared to the requested scope of services detailed in the RFP. The detailed breakdown of costs and labor estimates are included in Attachment A. Jacobs assumes all permit fees or other regulatory agency fees will be paid by VPU and are not included in this cost estimate.

Jacobs also assumes that VPU will contract with third parties directly for services including, but not limited to, greenhouse gas (GHG) verification, source testing, server management, and continuous emissions monitoring system (CEMS) equipment selection. To the extent feasible, Jacobs’ cost estimate assumes that the site’s existing templates will be utilized for future reporting, compliance demonstrations, etc.

Compliance Reporting & Plan Maintenance
Key assumptions contributing to the development of costs associated with compliance reporting and plan maintenance support for each of VPU’s facilities/divisions are as follows:

Electric Utility
 Our cost estimate assumes that only one third party will be contracted to verify the Electric Utility, Gas Utility, and Malburg Generating Station (MGS) GHG emissions inventories concurrently. Jacobs will provide coordination support during verification, which includes attending verification meetings, responding to verifier inquiries, and, if applicable, revising the GHG emissions inventories for resubmission to the California Air Resources Board. It is assumed that one knowledgeable Jacobs Request for Proposals for Environmental Compliance Services – Fees and Costs 2 team member will attend one on-site verification meeting in-person. Additional staff may attend via teleconference, if requested. Effort and travel costs associated with the in-person visit will be distributed evenly between each served facility/division.  Although not specified in the RFP, our cost estimate includes effort to annually update the GHG Inventory Management Plan addressing GHG emissions reporting for both the Electric and Gas Utilities, as it is needed in support of annual GHG verification activities. Associated effort will be distributed evenly between each served facility/division.

Gas Utility
 Effort associated with coordination during GHG verification and updating the GHG Inventory Management Plan is addressed under the Electric Utility assumptions above (costs will be distributed evenly between each served facility/division).

Water Utility
 Our cost estimate assumes that an independent Jacobs team will validate the water loss audit report annually, as part of this contract. Validation activities will be conducted remotely via teleconference.

MGS
 Effort associated with coordination during GHG verification is addressed under the Electric Utility assumptions above (costs will be distributed evenly between each served facility/division).
 In addition to the technical scope of work requested in the RFP, Jacobs’ cost estimate includes the activities listed below:
- Compliance reports associated with Conditions of Certification (COC) HAZ-6 and HAZ-7 will be included as part of the Annual Compliance Reports (ACRs), based on the assumption that they will not require any design review or inspections. - The COC CUL-8 compliance report will be included as part of the ACRs, based on the assumption that a Cultural Resources Specialist may need to review documentation of any activities potentially affecting the exterior appearance of the Station A building.
- Our cost estimate includes effort to prepare flow-to-load calculations each quarter as part of the quarterly Emissions Data Reports (EDR). Including these calculations in the EDR submittals will allow VPU to potentially extend the frequency between periodic maintenance activities required for quality assurance.

Request for Proposals for Environmental Compliance Services – Fees and Costs 3 - Although MGS is expected to transition out of South Coast Air Quality Management District’s (SCAQMD) Regional Clean Air Incentives Market (RECLAIM) program during the duration of this contract, our cost estimate assumes the format and submittal frequency of future reporting requirements will require a similar level of effort to those currently required under RECLAIM.  Our cost estimate assumes that only minor updates to the site’s Risk Management Plan and Spill Prevention Control and Countermeasures Plan will be required during the contract period, since full updates are not due until 2027.

Station A
 Although Station A is expected to transition out of SCAQMD’s RECLAIM program during the duration of this contract, our cost estimate assumes the format and submittal frequency of future reporting requirements will require a similar level of effort to those currently required under RECLAIM.

Daily Technical On-Call Support
As established by the RFP, costs associated with daily technical on-call support to VPU’s MGS are based on the following assumptions:
 Up to 14 hours per week (2,184 hours total) to conduct daily reviews, including up to six hours per week (936 hours total) for non-routine on-call support.  Up to 32 hours total for Data Acquisition and Handling System (DAHS) and report troubleshooting support.
 Up to 44 hours total for querying report data and updating the DAHS.  Up to 40 hours per year (120 hours total) of support for miscellaneous compliance issues, as specified in Jacobs’ proposal.

Daily technical on-call support is not required for VPU’s Station A or Electric, Gas, and Water Utilities.

Periodic Support (On-site or Virtual)
VPU’s Water Utility does not require periodic support. Key assumptions contributing to the development of costs associated with periodic support for each of VPU’s other facilities/divisions are as follows:

Electric Utility
 Effort associated with GHG verification is addressed under the Compliance Reporting and Plan Maintenance assumptions above.

Request for Proposals for Environmental Compliance Services – Fees and Costs 4 Gas Utility
 Effort associated with GHG verification is addressed under the Compliance Reporting and Plan Maintenance assumptions above.

MGS
 Effort associated with GHG verification is addressed under the Compliance Reporting and Plan Maintenance assumptions above.
 Assuming annual Relative Accuracy Test Audit and ammonia slip testing will occur concurrently, two Jacobs resources (one local and one traveling by air) will participate in up to three in-person source testing events, where each event may last up to four days in duration.
 One triennial source testing event is expected to occur during this contract period.

Two Jacobs resources (one local and one traveling by air) will participate in this inperson source testing event, which may last up to four days in duration.  For all source testing events, Jacobs’ support beyond in-person participation is expected to include reviewing and submitting source test protocols, providing agency notification, and reviewing and submitting source test reports.  It is assumed that in-person support for SCAQMD inspections will not be required.  Our cost estimate assumes a local Jacobs resource will conduct one in-person Level 1 Exceedance Response Action evaluation during the contract period.  Jacobs proposes to prepare one Title V Permit modification to incorporate SCAQMD landing rules as a part of the RECLAIM transition. The level of effort for this modification assumes that the provisions required under SCAQMD Rule 1135 will be similar to what are currently included in the site’s existing Title V Permit. This level of effort does not include extensive negotiations with SCAQMD and assumes a formal Title V Permit renewal is not required until 2027.

Station A
 Our cost estimate assumes only one annual source test event will occur per Gonzales Unit under this contract. Jacobs resources will provide only remote, technical support during source testing events. Jacobs will also review and submit source test protocols, provide agency notification, and review and submit source test reports.  It is assumed that in-person support for SCAQMD inspections will not be required.  Jacobs proposes to prepare one Title V Permit modification to incorporate SCAQMD landing rules as a part of the RECLAIM transition. The level of effort for this modification assumes that the low use provisions required under SCAQMD Rule 1135 will be incorporated into the Title V Permit expected for issuance in 2023, and Request for Proposals for Environmental Compliance Services – Fees and Costs 5 that additional new conditions will be limited to incorporation of a CEMS. This level of effort does not include extensive negotiations with SCAQMD and assumes a formal Title V Permit renewal is not required until 2027.  Our cost estimate assumes that VPU will coordinate directly with the CEMS provider to determine the CEMS equipment for installation and to confirm its conformance with the required regulations. Jacobs will provide a summary of required regulations once the type of CEMS is identified.

Project Management
Although not explicitly included in the RFP, Jacobs has included costs for project management based on previous experience; these costs are included as a separate task for clarity. Costs associated with project management are based on the following assumptions:
 Level of effort to perform routine project management activities is distributed between VPU’s five facilities/divisions based on the proportion of services required for each.
 Our cost estimate includes effort to prepare 36 monthly status reports and invoices.  Our cost estimate assumes two Jacobs resources will participate in 30-minute conference calls with VPU management monthly.

Proposed Contract Terms and Conditions
Jacobs proposes to perform this work under mutually negotiated terms of a contract between VPU and Jacobs. To enact such a contract, Jacobs requests VPU’s consideration of our proposed revisions to the City of Vernon’s Standard Form Contract, which are included as Attachment B of this submittal. We believe these revisions help clarify each party’s responsibilities in a fair and reasonable manner for the services contemplated in the RFP.

Proposed Costs
Jacobs will perform this work on a time-and-materials, not-to-exceed basis. The cost estimate is based on the scope of work described in Jacobs’ proposal, dated May 9, 2023, in conjunction with the assumptions stated herein. If conditions change, the budget will be revised accordingly and resubmitted to VPU.

Actual costs to complete this work can be influenced by a variety of factors outside our control and may be more or less than estimated here. Our billing and expense rates for the potential three year term of this contract, beginning on July 1, 2023, are shown in Exhibit 1. Exhibit 2 provides the total not-to-exceed three year contract amount.

Attachment A provides Jacobs’ detailed budget for the entire three year project by task Request for Proposals for Environmental Compliance Services – Fees and Costs 6 and topic (compliance reporting and plan maintenance, daily technical on-call support, periodic support, and project management). These budgets are aligned to each of VPU’s five facilities/divisions, to mirror VPU’s various financial budgets, and will not be exceeded without prior written approval from VPU.
