| Reason for Recommended Action/Background |
General standards for all waste management units require the owner of a landfill to close each landfill cell following completion of waste placement. The Board approved the agreement with RJ Gordon Construction Inc. (RJ Gordon) on April 23, 2019 and closure construction activities began in the summer of 2019 and continued until wet weather suspended activities. Construction resumed this spring with activities nearing completion.
At the April 23, 2019 meeting the Board authorized the Director of the Division of Integrated Waste Management (Director) to approve all change orders up to the maximum allowable under state law. In the case of this project, the maximum allowable is $248,412.50. A number of unanticipated issues arose during construction activities which resulted in the Director approving change orders totaling $232,947.44. Approval of Change Orders 9 through 11 would exceed the Director’s authority and thus require Board approval.
Change Order 9 represents work to the landfill’s gas and leachate collection systems. Change Order 10 is related to repair work for leachate seeps (liquid seeping from the side slopes of the landfill) discovered during grading activities. Change Order 11 involved relocating waste to facilitate drainage improvements. |
| Collaborations (including Board advisory groups and external partner agencies) |
| The division has worked with both the California Department of Resource, Recycling and Recovery (CalRecycle) and the California Regional Water Quality Control Board on the closure of Waste Managment Units 4 and 5. |
