The City of Phoenix is announcing a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) to assist the Water Services Department and Public Works Department with the utilization and/or sale of anaerobic digester gas at the 23rd Avenue Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) located at 2470 South 22nd Avenue in Phoenix, Arizona, and the utilization and/or sale of landfill gas from the 27th Avenue Landfill located at 2800 South 27th Avenue, the southwest corner of 27th Avenue and Lower Buckeye Road, southwest of the 23rd Avenue WWTP. The 23rd Avenue WWTP produces approximately 0.55 million cubic feet (mcf) of anaerobic digester gas each day. The City is proposing to make available approximately 0.4 mcf of gas per day during the winter and 0.5 mcf per day during the summer for sale or other beneficial uses. The 27th Avenue Landfill received approximately 9.0 million tons of municipal solid waste from 1978 through 1995. A landfill gas collection system with one flare station was constructed in 1991, consisting of 64 extraction wells along the perimeter. Construction of an additional 31 extraction wells was completed in 1998. The flare station includes four (4) blowers and one flare rated at 65.5 MMBtu/hour million British thermal units per hour. The landfill is approximately 170 acres. In 2008, an average of 0.48 million standard cubic feet of methane gas per day was collected by the landfill gas extraction system and destroyed at the flare.
Respondents are required to provide conceptual details of the proposed utilization of the digester gas and/or landfill gas in the Statements of Qualifications. The City will consider all proposals to sell or otherwise utilize the digester gas and/or landfill gas in an environmentally responsible and safe manner that will provide benefits to the City of Phoenix. A Project Information Packet is available to interested Respondents.
