SCS Proposal No. 160146214
Mr. Mike Tentrup
City of Port Arthur
444 4t' Street
Port Arthur,Texas 77640
Subject: Proposal for Aerial Mapping Services and Development of Interim Waste Grades and
Other Site Layout Information
City of Port Arthur Landfill
Jefferson County, Texas
Dear Mike:
Per your request, SCS Engineers(SCS)is pleased to provide this proposal for aerial mapping services
and development of interim waste grades and other site layout information. This proposal will provide
the necessary deliverables and information requested by GeoLogic Computer Systems(GeoLogic) in
an email dated September 23,2014. Deliverables indicated in this proposal will be provided consistent
with GeoLogic's specifications included in the September 23,2014 email.
SCOPE-OF-SERVICES
Task 1 — Aerial Mapping Services
For this task we propose to acquire an updated aerial topographic map for the landfill. The most recent
topographic map is based on an aerial survey dated May 2012 for Site 1815-I. Since this map was
developed, substantial filling has taken place over 1815-I,including the east hill and Cell 48. As such,
to provide the most accurate existing topographic grades to GeoLogic, this updated topographic map
is necessary.
For this task, SCS will subcontract with a qualified aerial mapping firm to acquire the updated
topographic map consistent with SCS' specifications. Deliverables will include an AutoCAD file of
the topographic survey for use by SCS and GeoLogic and full-size color photograph of the mapped
area for the City's use.
Task 2 — Development of Interim Waste Grades and Other Site Layout
Information
For this task, SCS will provide AutoCAD files to GeoLogic for the following items:
• Top-of-waste design grades: For this item, SCS will develop top-of-waste grade contours for
the constructed cells of Site 1815-I. This will include final waste grades for external sideslopes,
intermediate waste grades for internal sideslopes(i.e.,Cell 46,Cell 48,and Pre-Subtitle D area
that are adjacent to future Cell 47), and achievable topslope grades for constructed cells of the
landfill. As such, SCS will develop these top-of-waste grades to assist the City in optimizing

Mr. Mike Tentrup

Page 2
the airspace of constructed cellsSCS will develop 1-foot contours for this surface for GeoLogic
use in preparing their surface model.
• SCS will provide the prior aerial topographic survey,as well as an updated aerial topographic
survey(see Task 1)for Site 1815-I.
• SCS will provide perimeter data for the limits of waste for constructed cells consistent with
GeoLogic's specifications. Based on SCS understanding of GeoLogic's software, this
perimeter data will define where waste placement operations should take place within
GeoLogic's model.
• SCS will provide a Site information, including benchmark locations and other control points,
limits of waste, cell boundaries, and other site location information within the landfill permit
boundary (i.e., groundwater monitoring wells, gas probes, etc.) deemed necessary by
GeoLogic. For this item, SCS will work with the City's surveyor to acquire the current
benchmark locations for the landfill,as well as other control points used by the aerial mapping
firm.
SCS will provide the above items in AutoCAD consistent with GeoLogic's specifications indicated in
their September 23, 2014 email. Additionally, as a visual representation of the items provided, SCS
will a PDF file depicting the top-of-waste grades and site layout information.
Task 3 — Supplemental Services
We have prepared the above scope-of-services based on our understanding of the project. As with any
engineering design,there are certain aspects of the project that may be encountered in the course of the
project that may not have been possible to anticipate. Additionally, following review of the files by
GeoLogic, they find that additional information and/or clarification is necessary to develop their
surface models. As such, we are recommending a budget of$3,000 for supplementary services for
addressing unanticipated aspects of the project, including additional information or clarifications
requested by GeoLogic. In view of the variable scope for these activities, incurring cost for such
services will require the City's prior authorization. Therefore, SCS proposes to perform such
supplemental services on a time and material basis, which will be described in detail in our monthly
invoices.
SCHEDULE AND FEE
SCS proposes to perform the Task 1 and Task 2 services on a lump sum basis, and Task 3 services on
a T&M basis for the fees indicated in the table below.
Table 1 -Proposed Fees
Task Description Fee
1 Aerial Mapping Services $7,400
2 Development of Interim Waste Grades and Other Site Layout $5,500
