EXHIBIT A SCOPE OF SERVICES The City has approximately 1200 tons of stockpiled anaerobically digested Class A municipal sewage sludge. The stored volume is estimated. The sludge has a moisture content of about 15 %. Upon loading into trucks, the volume of sludge is expected to expand by about 10 %. The sludge is currently stockpiled on an asphalt -paved sludge drying bed at the Water Pollution Control Plant. There is good access and egress from the sludge storage area. There is a sand drainage area within the mid - section of each bed. This drainage area must not be driven upon or crossed with heavy equipment. This bed, other beds or City property must not be damaged in any way. The Laboratory analysis is available upon request. This sludge meets EPA Part 503 Biosolids Rule for CLASS "A" SLUDGE (EQ: Exceptional Quality Biosolids). The United States Environmental Protection Agency's document "A Plain English Guide to the EPA 503 Biosolids Rule" on page 34 of the September 1994 publication states, "Once biosolids have been established as meeting EQ requirements, whether in bulk or in bags or other containers, they can generally be applied as freely as any other fertilizer or soil amendment to any type of land. While not required by the Part 503 rule, EQ biosolids should be applied at a rate that does not exceed the agronomic rate that supplies the nitrogen needs of the plants being grown, just as for any other commercial fertilizer or soil amending material that contains nitrogen." The stockpiled sludge might have areas within the stockpile that are hot, smoking and/or smoldering. All loads must be covered; therefore the contractor will be responsible for cooling any hot spots to prevent possible damage to covers, tarps, etc. Disposal options must be approved by the Project Manager for the City of San Leandro and positively confirmed. If the biosolids are to be spread on land, the application is to be certified to meet land management practices by the disposal option's certified agronomist. The contractor must select a disposal option and provide verification of that option prior to submitting their bid to the City. It is the Contractor's responsibility to select an option that conforms to applicable Federal, State, and local criteria for this particular material. Copies of all transportation and disposal documents are required by the City of San Leandro. Sludge Removal Strategy The Contractor shall load, haul, and legally dispose of the sludge. The Contractor shall commence work within 30 calendar days of being awarded the contract and complete the work within 30 days after work starts. The Contractor shall pay for all equipment rentals, permits, receiving facility fees, tariffs, and personnel costs incurred in legally disposing of the sludge. Any negligence on the Contractor's part shall be rectified by the Contractor. Dust control shall be the responsibility of the Contractor during the loading and hauling operation. Plant effluent water (No. 3 water) is available for use by the contractor if the contractor wishes to lightly water down the loaded material to assist in dust control. Said practice shall be performed after each load weight has been determined. All trucks shall be tarped. Documentation The Contractor shall supply copies of transportation manifests for each load. The Contractor is solely responsible for cleanup of any spills on public or private streets or properties. The costs of any fines from improper management or accidental spillage shall be bome by the Contractor in its entirety.
