(Pinnacle) is pleased to present City of South Bend Utilities <br />(South Bend Utilities) this proposal of professional services for a Third-Party <br />Engineering Review three-year update (hereafter, referred to as “ER”) as required <br />by the Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS), 40 CFR Part 80, for South Bend Utilities, <br />located in South Bend, IN. The following paragraphs provide details regarding the <br />scope and costs of the proposed services. <br /> Scope of Proposed Services <br />Pinnacle is proposing to provide an independent ER, written report, and <br />verification of the registration requirements of the RFS. Pinnacle will prepare a <br />report based upon a site visit conducted by a Professional Engineer (PE) to review <br />relevant documents in support of the requirements of 40 CFR 80.1450(b)(1). The <br />report will describe how the independent third party evaluated the accuracy of <br />the registration information provided to the EPA, whether or not the independent <br />third party agrees with the information provided and will identify any exceptions <br />between the independent third party’s current findings and the EPA facility’s fuel <br />registration. <br />A draft report will be prepared for South Bend Utilities to review after the site visit <br />has been completed. When all revisions have been made, Pinnacle will provide <br />South Bend Utilities with an electronic copy of the EPA submitted report once the <br />report is submitted on EPA’s central data exchange (CDX) site. Pinnacle will <br />maintain a copy of the report and records pertaining to the EPA verification for a <br />period of five years as required by the RFS rule.
