About this file

Written by GovTribe AI ·

This is a Minimum Analytical Level (MAL) reference document for the City of Lewisville, Texas's Annual Contract for Chemical Analysis. The document establishes analytical standards and detection limits for a comprehensive range of pollutants and compounds across multiple categories, including toxics, metals, volatiles, phenols, acid base/neutrals, pesticides, and dioxins/furans. The MAL table specifies the minimum detection thresholds measured in micrograms per liter (µg/L) or parts per quadrillion (ppq), along with the corresponding EPA or standard methods required for analysis of each pollutant. The document does not provide information regarding project duration, response deadlines, site visits, or bidder conferences, as it functions primarily as a technical specifications reference rather than a comprehensive contract solicitation document.

The pricing structure, award basis, set-asides, incumbent information, and funding sources are not detailed within this MAL reference document. However, the associated contract opportunity indicates that the City of Lewisville is accepting competitive sealed bids for chemical analysis services under Texas Local Government Code Chapter 252, and all successful bidders must certify compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act and related regulations. The MAL document serves as technical guidance for bidders to understand the analytical capabilities and detection limits required for the chemical analysis contract, ensuring that proposed laboratory services meet the specified minimum standards across all pollutant categories.
