CJD National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Laboratory Services - Base plus 4 Option Years

PERFORMANCE WORK STATEMENT (PWS) National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Laboratory Services SCOPE OF WORK 1.0 Overview The Chief Joseph Dam Project is a hydroelectric facility operated by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (Corps), Seattle District. The dam is located on the Columbia River at Hwy 17 & Pearl Hill Rd, Bridgeport, WA 98813. The Corps has been issued a National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Region 10 for the Chief Joseph Dam Project. To ensure the protection of water quality and human health, this NPDES permit establishes limits on the types and amounts of pollutants that can be discharged from the Project and requires routine monitoring of discharge points. The Corps is seeking an accredited laboratory for analytical services to demonstrate compliance with the NPDES permit limits for Oil and Grease. Corps personnel will conduct all sampling and packaging, and schedule pickup of coolers for delivery of the samples to the laboratory. 2.0 Laboratory Accreditation The laboratory shall be accredited in accordance with the National Environmental Laboratory Accreditation Program (NELAP) or have a current laboratory accreditation with the Washington State Department of Ecology Environmental Laboratory Accreditation Program for the analyte(s) required in the task(s). If the laboratory cannot conduct a specific analytical process, they may contract with another laboratory to perform the analysis. All contractors and subcontractors, if any, shall submit at least one of the above accreditations qualifications/certificates when submitting their quote per FAR 52.212-2 Evaluation � Commercial Items. 3.0 Laboratory Location The laboratory must be located within 200 road miles of Bridgeport, WA. 4.0 Work Performance Period The base year and option years are shown below. Option years may be exercised at the Government�s discretion. Base year: 01 Nov 2026 � 31 Oct 2027 Option year 1: 01 Nov 2027 � 31 Oct 2028 Option year 2: 01 Nov 2028 � 31 Oct 2029 Option year 3: 01 Nov 2029 � 31 Oct 2030 Option year 4: 01 Nov 2030 � 31 Oct 2031 5.0 Task The Corps anticipates 540 samples will be submitted for analysis during the base year and for each of the option years. These sampling quantities include an optional line item for unforeseen analytical. The actual quantities may be lower due to variables with facility operations and frequency of the optional analytical. Samples submitted shall not exceed the anticipated quantities specified in this paragraph. Only actual quantities performed shall be invoiced. All analytical methods must be approved under the most current 40 CFR part 136, unless a particular method is expressly requested by the Corps. All analysis shall be completed within the allowable holding times listed in 40 CFR 136.3, Table II. Tables 1 and 2 summarize the sampling quantity, frequency, and parameters for the Chief Joseph Dam Project during the base and option years. In accordance with FAR 52-217-7 OPTION FOR INCREASED QUANTITY, the Contracting Officer may exercise option items by written notice to the Contractor within the Period of Performance, but no less than 30 days prior to the end of the Period of Performance. The Period of Performance may be extended to accommodate performing Option Items. In the event samples are delivered above their temperature requirements or outside their hold time, the Analytical laboratory shall immediately contact project listed in Section #7 and not conduct any analysis of samples above the recommended temperature range. 6.0 Supplies The laboratory shall supply all materials and equipment for the safe and method appropriate handling, collection, and preservation of samples. Shipping and sample containers and supplies shall be suitable for the sample matrix and analytical method. The laboratory shall provide sample bottle kits to the Chief Joseph Dam Project in properly sized sample coolers. A typical s…
