Third Party GHG Verification Services. Firm must be on “WA Department of Ecology List of Approved Third-Party Emissions Verifiers”

The City of Spokane’s Solid Waste Disposal department solicited a third‑party greenhouse‑gas (GHG) verification service for its Waste‑to‑Energy Facility (WTEF), which emits over 25,000 MT CO₂e annually. Bidders had to be on the Washington Department of Ecology’s approved verifier list. After an open competition, Lincus was awarded the contract to perform a “less‑intensive” verification for the 2023 emissions year, with the possibility of up to three one‑year renewals. The work includes developing verification and sampling plans, certifying that emissions data meet WAC 173‑441 requirements, submitting a verification statement to the Department of Ecology by August 10 2024, and retaining records for ten years. The contract is a firm‑fixed‑price, single‑award procurement valued at roughly $15‑$20 K. • Scope: less‑intensive third‑party GHG verification for 2023 emissions, compliance with Washington state regulations. • Requirements: vendor must be on the WA Ecology approved verifier list, submit deliverables electronically, and retain records for a decade. • Timeline: proposal due March 4 2024; award March 8 2024; performance to begin approx. April 2024; verification report due August 10 2024.
