The Florida Department of Health awarded contract C774BC to provide certified laboratory services for water and wastewater testing during the period July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027, with a total contract value of $31,990. The contract encompasses four distinct sampling programs: coastal beach sampling, limited use water sampling, river sampling, and federal coastal beach sampling. Services include multiple water quality analyses performed in accordance with EPA and state regulatory requirements, including total coliform testing via Colilert-18, lead analysis by EPA Method 200.8, nutrient testing (nitrate and nitrite) by EPA Method 300, sodium analysis by EPA Method 200.7, chloride testing by EPA Method 300, fecal coliform and enterococci analysis, and courier services as needed.

The contract specifies an estimated 32,365 individual test units across the four sampling programs, with unit prices ranging from $20 to $35 per test depending on the analysis type. Responsible personnel assigned to the contract include Malecia Matheny, William DiNardo, and Joyce DeMichael. The scope of work addresses statutory water quality monitoring requirements applicable to coastal beach environments, limited-use water bodies, and river systems within Florida's jurisdiction, with the federal coastal beach sampling component likely addressing compliance with federal water quality standards and monitoring protocols.
