FROM:James D. Herberg, General Manager Originator: Riaz Moinuddin, Director of Operations and Maintenance SUBJECT: SERVICE CONTRACT FOR PLANT NOS. 1 AND 2 CENTRAL GENERATION FACILITIES’ CARBON MEDIA CHANGE-OUT GENERAL MANAGER'S RECOMMENDATION RECOMMENDATION: Recommend to the Board of Directors to: Approve a Sole Source Purchase Order Contract to Carbon Activated Corporation to change out granular activated carbon media for Biogas Cleaning Systems at Plant Nos. 1 and 2 Central Generation (Cen-Gen) Facility, for a total amount not to exceed $236,500 through June 30, 2022. BACKGROUND Orange County Sanitation District (OC San) Plant Nos. 1 and 2 Cen-Gen facilities use granular activated carbon to remove siloxane, volatile organic carbon (VOC), and sulfur compounds from digester gas. Removal of these constituents is necessary to meet air compliance standards and maintenance requirements. Specifically, failure to remove these compounds will result in damage to both the reductive and oxidation catalysts necessary to control engine emissions. Two vessels are used in series at Plant No. 1 and three vessels are used at Plant No. 2. The first vessel is used as the primary tank for roughing and the second vessel is used for polishing the residual compounds from the biogas. The third vessel at Plant No. 2 is used as a standby vessel. Each vessel has three layers of activated carbon media with different specifications to remove targeted components from biogas. OC San has many years of experience with the different kinds of granular activated carbon specifications and has determined the recommended mix provides the necessary contaminate removal for the longest period. Other mixes or specifications have been found to become exhausted or ineffective much more quickly. The Board of Directors approved a contract to EnviroSupply & Service Inc. in May of 2020 to supply the specified granulated activated carbon change outs. EnviroSupply & Services Inc. has been unable to provide the specified granulated activated carbon media for the Cen-Gen facility carbon vessels due to supply chain problems. A $70,000 Sole Source Contract was issued to an alternate vendor, Carbon Activated Corporation, in February 2022 to change out two vessels in order to buy time to resolve this problem. EnviroSupply & Services Inc. is still unable to supply the specified product, so staff is in the process of rebidding the service. A bridge contract to change out five expended vessels is required to allow time to complete the bid and award process. Orange County Sanitation District Printed on 4/19/2022Page 1 of 3 powered by Legistar™ OC6SAN ORANGE COUNTY SANITATION DISTRICT File #:2022-2280 Agenda Date:4/27/2022 Agenda Item No:2. RELEVANT STANDARDS ·Maintain a proactive asset management program ·24/7/365 treatment plant reliability ·Protect OC San assets PROBLEM The activated carbon media have a limited capacity to absorb targeted contaminants.When the carbon absorption material is fully consumed,the medium is exhausted and must be replaced.The contracted supplier is not able to supply the necessary material due to supply chain problems. A $70,000 Sole Source Purchase Order was issued to Carbon Activated Corporation in February 2022 to change media for two carbon media vessels.Staff expected this procurement to provide enough time for the current vendor to supply the required media;however,the vendor under contract continued to be unable to provide the specified carbon media and fulfill the contract requirements. PROPOSED SOLUTION Staff recommends amending the service contract with Carbon Activated Corporation to change out an additional five carbon media vessels to bridge the service while a new bid and award process is completed.This recommendation includes the original $70,000 for the first two vessels and $166,500 for an additional five vessel change-outs for a total of $236,500. TIMING CONCERNS With the exhaustion of the carbon media in the biogas cleaning system,siloxane and hydrogen sulfide break-through will occur and the Cen-Gen facilities will not be able to meet air quality permit requirements. RAMIFICATIONS OF NOT TAKING ACTION The inability to clean digester gas will result in the inability to meet AQMD air permit requirements using digester gas at both Central Generation Plants. Digester gas will be flared at both plants. PRIOR COMMITTEE/BOARD ACTIONS May 2020 -Awarded a service contract to EnviroSupply &Service Inc.for Plant Nos.1 and 2 Central Generation Facility Fuel Gas Cleaning System,Carbon Change-Out (replacement);Specification No. S-2020-1130BD,for a total amount not to exceed $240,702 for the period July 1,2020 through June 30, 2021, with four (4) one-year renewal options; and approved a contingency of $24,071 (10%). ADDITIONAL INFORMATION In February 2022,staff contacted two additional vendors and requested a price quote for carbon change-out based on specified granulated activated carbon.Two quotes were received for carbon Orange County Sanitation District Printed on 4/19/2022Page 2 of 3 powered by Legistar™ File #:2022-2280 Agenda Date:4/27/2022 Agenda Item No:2. vessel media change-out as listed below, for an additional five vessel change-outs. Price Quotes Company Bid Amount Comments Carbon Activated Corporation $33,300 (including labor costs) per vessel Responsive Recommended Unison Solutions $40,630 (not including labor costs) per vessel Responsive EnviroSupply & Service Inc.Non-responsive Current vendor In April 2022,staff confirmed the above quotes and the ability to deliver the carbon media with two vendors. The current vendor could not provide the material.

CERTIFICATE OF PARTICIPATION (COP) – A type of financing where an investor purchases a share of the lease revenues of a program rather than the bond being secured by those revenues. CONTAMINANTS OF POTENTIAL CONCERN (CPC) – Pharmaceuticals, hormones, and other organic wastewater contaminants. DILUTION TO THRESHOLD (D/T) – The dilution at which the majority of people detect the odor becomes the D/T for that air sample. GREENHOUSE GASES (GHG) – In the order of relative abundance water vapor, carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, and ozone gases that are considered the cause of global warming (“greenhouse effect”). GROUNDWATER REPLENISHMENT SYSTEM (GWRS) – A joint water reclamation project that proactively responds to Southern California’s current and future water needs. This joint project between the Orange County Water District and OCSD provides 70 million gallons per day of drinking quality water to replenish the local groundwater supply. LEVEL OF SERVICE (LOS) – Goals to support environmental and public expectations for performance. N-NITROSODIMETHYLAMINE (NDMA) – A N-nitrosamine suspected cancer-causing agent. It has been found in the GWRS process and is eliminated using hydrogen peroxide with extra ultra-violet treatment. NATIONAL BIOSOLIDS PARTNERSHIP (NBP) – An alliance of the NACWA and WEF, with advisory support from the EPA. NBP is committed to developing and advancing environmentally sound and sustainable biosolids management practices that go beyond regulatory compliance and promote public participation to enhance the credibility of local agency biosolids programs and improved communications that lead to public acceptance. PER- AND POLYFLUOROALKYL SUBSTANCES (PFAS) – A large group (over 6,000) of human-made compounds that are resistant to heat, water, and oil and used for a variety of applications including firefighting foam, stain and water-resistant clothing, cosmetics, and food packaging. Two PFAS compounds, perfluorooctanesulfonic acid (PFOS) and perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) have been the focus of increasing regulatory scrutiny in drinking water and may result in adverse health effects including developmental effects to fetuses during pregnancy, cancer, liver damage, immunosuppression, thyroid effects, and other effects. PERFLUOROOCTANOIC ACID (PFOA) – An ingredient for several industrial applications including carpeting, upholstery, apparel, floor wax, textiles, sealants, food packaging, and cookware (Teflon). PERFLUOROOCTANESULFONIC ACID (PFOS) – A key ingredient in Scotchgard, a fabric protector made by 3M, and used in numerous stain repellents. PLUME – A visible or measurable concentration of discharge from a stationary source or fixed facility. PUBLICLY OWNED TREATMENT WORKS (POTW) – A municipal wastewater treatment plant. SANTA ANA RIVER INTERCEPTOR (SARI) LINE – A regional brine line designed to convey 30 million gallons per day of non-reclaimable wastewater from the upper Santa Ana River basin to the ocean for disposal, after treatment. SANITARY SEWER – Separate sewer systems specifically for the carrying of domestic and industrial wastewater. SOUTH COAST AIR QUALITY MANAGEMENT DISTRICT (SCAQMD) – Regional regulatory agency that develops plans and regulations designed to achieve public health standards by reducing emissions from business and industry. SECONDARY TREATMENT – Biological wastewater treatment, particularly the activated sludge process, where bacteria and other microorganisms consume dissolved nutrients in wastewater. SLUDGE – Untreated solid material created by the treatment of wastewater. TOTAL SUSPENDED SOLIDS (TSS) – The amount of solids floating and in suspension in wastewater. ORANGE COUNTY SANITATION DISTRICT GLOSSARY OF TERMS TRICKLING FILTER – A biological secondary treatment process in which bacteria and other microorganisms, growing as slime on the surface of rocks or plastic media, consume nutrients in wastewater as it trickles over them. URBAN RUNOFF – Water from city streets and domestic properties that carry pollutants into the storm drains, rivers, lakes, and oceans. WASTEWATER – Any water that enters the sanitary sewer. WATERSHED – A land area from which water drains to a particular water body. OCSD’s service area is in the Santa Ana River Watershed.
