EXHIBIT A <br /> SCOPE OF SERVICES <br /> General <br /> The City of San Leandro has approximately 1200 tons of stockpiled anaerobically digested Class A <br /> municipal sewage sludge. The stored volume is estimated. The sludge has a moisture content of about <br /> 15%. Upon loading into trucks, the volume of sludge is\expected to expand by about 10%. The sludge is <br /> currently stockpiled on an asphalt-paved sludge drying bed at the Water Pollution Control Plant. There is <br /> good access and egress from the sludge storage area. There is a sand drainage area within the mid- <br /> section of each bed. This drainage area must not be driven upon or crossed with heavy equipment. This <br /> bed, other beds or City property must not be damaged in any way. <br /> � The Laboratory analysis will be available upon request. This sludge will meet EPA Part 503 Biosolids Rule <br /> for CLASS "A" SLUDGE (EQ: Exceptional Quality Biosolids). The United States Environmental <br /> Protection Agency's document"A Plain English Guide to the EPA 503 Bio-solids Rule" on page 34 of the <br /> September 1994 publication states, "Once biosolids have been established as meeting EQ requirements, <br /> whether in bulk or in bags or other containers, they can generally be applied as freely as any other fertilizer <br /> or soil amendment to any type of land. While not required by the Part 503 rule, EQ biosolids should be <br /> applied at a rate that does not exceed the agronomic rate that supplies the nitrogen needs of the plants <br /> being grown,just as for any other commercial fertilizer or soil amending material that contains nitrogen." <br /> The stockpiled sludge might have areas within the stockpile that are hot, smoking and/or smoldering. All <br /> loads must be covered; therefore the contractor will be responsible for cooling any hot spots to prevent <br /> possible damage to covers,tarps, etc. <br /> Disposal options must be approved by the Project Manager for the City of San Leandro and positively <br /> confirmed. If the biosolids are to be spread on land they must be applied at appropriate agronomic rates. <br /> This land application is to be certified to meet land management practices by the disposal option's certified <br /> agronomist. The contractor must select a disposal option and provide verification of that option prior to <br /> submitting their bid to the City. It is the Contractor's responsibility to select an option that conforms to <br /> applicable Federal, State, and local criteria for this particular material. Copies of all transportation and <br /> disposal documents are required by the City of San Leandro. The Project and/or other City employees may <br /> request to witness the placement of bio-solids for land application. <br /> Sludge Removal Strategy <br /> The Contractor shall load, haul, and legally dispose of the sludge. The Contractor shall commence work <br /> within 60 calendar days of being awarded the contract and complete the work within 30 days after work <br /> starts. The Contractor shall pay for all equipment rentals, permits, receiving facility fees, tariffs, and <br /> personnel costs incurred in legally disposing of the sludge.Any negligence on the Contractor's part shall be <br /> rectified by the Contractor. <br /> The contract is to be quoted on a per ton basis. Tonnage may be determined by field-site scales supplied <br /> by the contractor; or by an off-site certified scale approved by the project manager prior to use, with <br /> documentation of each load required to be submitted to the project manager. Dust control shall be the <br /> responsibility of the Contractor during the loading and hauling operation.
