DESCRIPTION/SPECIFICATIONS/WORK STATEMENT 1.1 Contract Description. This contract effort includes but is not limited to analytical services support for the GeoEnvironmental Engineering (GeoE) Branch of the Norfolk District, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), for the chemical analysis of soil, sediment, sludge, ground water, surface water, oil, waste, and other environmental samples. Analytical services will be performed by the Contract Laboratory in support of the GeoE Section programs. In most instances, the Contract Laboratory shall be resp onsible for providing coolers, sample bottles, preservation solutions, trip blanks (if applicable), and supplies. All costs associated with these tasks shall be borne by the Contractor and not billed separately. 1.2 Contract Background. The Norfolk District GeoE Section routinely collects or receives primary samples and quality assurance samples that have been collected from various hazardous and toxic waste (HTW) sites, military installations, process streams or waste streams, or typical environmental sources, such as rivers, lakes, and streams. The sampling and analytical work will primarily be in conjunction with inv estigations for the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERC LA); the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA); the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act (SARA); the Toxic Substance Control Act (TSCA); and oth ers, including underground storage tank (UST) investigations, the Department of Defense Environm ental Restoration Program - Formerly Used Defense Sites (DERP-FUDS), and the Installation Restoration Program (IRP). 1.3 Contract Objectives. The objective of this contract is to obtain an analytical laboratory which can provide technically valid and legally defensible environmental data that will meet or exceed the required site-specific Data Quality Objectives (DQOs). This contract describes the management policies, objectives, principles and procedures which wil l be used to generate data of the required quality. This contract also defines the quality assurance program for oversight of the Contract Laboratory activi ties and for the evaluation of the analytical data generated by the Contract Laboratory. All work performed under this contract shall meet the applicable portions of the USACE Engineering Regulation 1110-1-263, Chemical Data Quality Management for Hazardo us Waste Remedial Activities, and any revisions to that document. Revisions shall be forwarded to the contractors as they are approved by the USACE. A copy of this regulation may be obtained by contacting Mr. Marc D. Gutterman at 757 201-7668. 1.4 Contract Estimated Quantities. It is estimated that requests for approximately 300 analyses may be submitted yearly. The Contract Laboratory shall be required to furnish all labor, instrumentation, equipment, tools, and supplies required to perform t he analyses. Subcontracting of samples sent to the laboratory shall not be permitted without written approval from the Norfolk District Contracting Officers Representative (COR). 1.5 Contract Delivery Orders. Any service required under this contract will be ordered by the issuance of a delivery order. In addition to sample type, quantity and analyses required, the delivery order shall specify whether coolers and sample container s are needed for sample collection. Quantity of samples sent on a delivery order will vary based on project requirements and could even be a single sample. Work accepted by the Contract Laboratory is expected to meet all of the conditions and requirement s of this contract. 1.6 Notification of Equipment Failure. If the Contract Laboratory experiences a breakdown of equipment such that samples for a particular test cannot be analyzed, the Contract Laboratory must notify the Norfolk District GeoE Section within one (1) day. T his notification will allow the Norfolk District to stop sending samples requiring that particular test. Once the Contract Laboratory can begin performing that analysis again, it must notify the Norfolk District GeoE Section in order to begin receiving sa mples with that particular analysis again. If the Contract Laboratory has samples in-house with analysis which require the disabled equipment and either the holding time or turnaroud time will expire before the Contract Laboratory can replace or fix the e quipment, then the Contract Laboratory must send the samples back to the Norfolk District GeoE Section. The GeoE Section will then send them to another MRD Chemistry Branch validated laboratory.
