Notice is hereby given by the City of Vancouver ("City") of its intent to contract with Golder Associates Ltd. to provide Surface Emissions Monitoring ("SEM") services at the Vancouver Landfill for a six year period.

Description:

Since 2015, Golder Associates Ltd. has provided the City with surface emissions monitoring at the Vancouver Landfill to quantify the fugitive methane emissions rate (flux).

The contract is expected to be six (6) years in duration with three - one year extensions for a total term of nine (9) years. The City's anticipated budget for the six years is $460,000.
