DESCRIPTION OF SERVICES For Water Quality and Soils/Sediment Laboratory Analysis Services For Bureau of Land Management ż Wyoming State Field Offices 1. BACKGROUND: The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) ż Wyoming State Field Offices have a continuing requirement for Water Quality and Soils/Sediment Laboratory Analysis services. 2. GENERAL ż SCOPE OF WORK: The Contractor shall provide all personnel, equipment, supplies, facilities, transportation, tools, materials, supervision, and other items and non-personal services necessary to perform laboratory analysis of Water Quality and Soils/Sediment samples collected as defined in Description of Services, and Schedule of Services. The Contractor shall be certified in accordance with EPA Region 8; water quality analysis certification program, and shall provide a copy of their certification with their proposal. 3. SAMPLE ANALYSIS REQUIREMENTS: Analysis for general ambient and drinking water samples shall follow the procedural guidelines as outlined in 40 CFR Parts 136 through 141. The required lower limits of detection for general ambient water samples, drinking water samples, and Sediment and Soil Sample Analysis, for each parameter are listed in Attachment 1, Detection Limits. Analysis for general sediment and soil samples shall follow the standard procedures as outlined in the following technical handbooks: USDA Handbook 60 ASA Mono #9 SW-846 6010B EPA 903.0 SW-846 3050B Analysis of oil and grease samples shall follow the methods stated in EPA Method 1664, and in addition, shall employ the Wyoming approved modification for removing sulfur. 4. SAMPLE SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS: Field Offices will typically submit samples for analysis indicating on a category basis (e.g. I, III, and IV), however, the Government will, on an as needed basis, request analysis on an individual basis (i.e. constituents selected from multiple categories, e.g. Ca+Mg+Na+Al+Cu+Se rather than the full suite analysis of Categories I and III). Therefore, the Contractor shall indicate in their proposal a total price category for constituents selected from multiple categories. Test Sample Kits - The Contractor upon request from the appropriate field office shall furnish a test sampling kit appropriate to the type of test requested. The Contractor shall provide a prepaid mailing label or other means of prepaid shipping cost/s for the return shipment of the test sample kit to the Contractor żs Laboratory for analysis. If samples received are damaged upon receipt at the Contractor żs laboratory, the Contractor shall document the damage. If the damage is significant, the Contractor shall immediately contact the appropriate field office representative to determine if re-sampling is required. All samples shall be preserved and stored under refrigeration until the laboratory reports have been reviewed and tests approved. The field office representative will then notify the laboratory that samples may be destroyed. Minimum sample volumes, sample containers, and sample preservation shall follow the guidelines in Table 1, Sampling and Preservation of Waters. 5. HIGH PRIORITY and RUSH SAMPLES: High Priority samples are those general ambient water samples needing analysis results delivered to the originating office within 72 hours of receipt of the samples by the testing laboratory. Rush Samples are those drinking water samples for which analysis must be initiated within 8 hours of the sample being collected in the field with results delivered to the originating office within 28 hours of receipt of the sample by the testing laboratory. The originating BLM Wyoming Field Office shall notify the Contractor by phone as soon as samples are shipped or as soon as the Contractor żs Office is open if samples are shipped on a weekend or holiday. The Contractor shall notify the appropriate field office by email that the results for high priority and rush samples are available for access on the Contractor żs website. If access to the Contractor żs website is not available, the Contractor shall provide the results to the appropriate field office via email within the time limits stated above. In the event of a positive test for Total or Fecal Coliforms the Contractor shall contact the originating office by telephone within (2) hours of obtaining the analysis results. 6. TEST RESULT REQUIREMENTS: The Contractor shall provide sample analysis results via electronic means to the appropriate field office in PDF format and EXCEL spreadsheet format. If requested by the Government, the Contractor shall also provide a standard hardcopy within 14 days of the date of request. 7. QUALITY CONTROL: The Contractor shall adhere to any required Quality Control (QC) procedures specified in the methods, to insure that routinely generated analytical data are scientifically valid and defensible, and are of known and acceptable precision and accuracy. To accomplish these goals, the Contractor shall prepare a written description of its Quality Assurance (QA) Plan. The Contractor shall develop and implement procedures to identify, prevent, and ensure non-recurrence of defective services. The Quality Assurance Plan is to be delivered within 30 days after contract award for review and acceptance by the Contracting Officer. After review of the quality control plan, the Contractor will be notified in writing from the Contracting Officer as to the acceptance of the Contractors Quality Control Plan, or as to any proposed change/s to the Contractor żs Quality Assurance Plan. 8. PERIOD OF PERFORMANCE: The period of performance shall be for a Base Period with four (4), one (1) year option periods. 9. PLACE OF PERFORMANCE: All sample analysis testing shall be conducted at the Contractor żs laboratory site. 10. TYPE OF CONTRACT: The Government contemplates award of a Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA). BPA Call Orders will be issued for services when required. 8. ORDERING OFFICES: The following BLM Wyoming Field Offices will submit samples to the Contractor for laboratory analysis. Worland Field Office 101 South 23rd Street P.O.
