Source Testing Services for Natural Gas Generation Facilities

The City of Vernon seeks a qualified consulting firm to perform comprehensive source testing for its two natural‑gas generation facilities – the Malburg Generating Station (MGS) and the Gonzales Units – to satisfy South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) Permit‑to‑Operate requirements. The contractor will conduct annual Relative Accuracy Test Audits (RATA), annual ammonia slip tests, triennial PM₁₀/VOC/SO₂ tests for MGS, and up to seven source‑testing events for the Gonzales Units over a three‑year term, providing all labor, equipment, travel, and reporting. The contract is limited to one firm, requires SCAQMD laboratory approval, and disallows subcontracting without prior City consent. • Perform annual RATA and NH₃ slip testing for MGS (first‑quarter each year) and triennial PM₁₀/VOC/SO₂ testing (2028). • Conduct up to seven (plus two contingency) NOₓ and CO source tests for the Gonzales Units, potentially within 60 days of permit‑modification approval. • Provide all necessary personnel, equipment, travel, and documentation; retain records for three years; comply with insurance, indemnification, and arbitration clauses.
