VISN 6 1061 Water Sampling Totals.xlsx

This file is a water sampling tracking spreadsheet for VISN 6 Directive 1061 Legionella testing services across seven VA Medical Center facilities. The spreadsheet documents quarterly sampling requirements and actual samples taken, billed, and remaining under contract for Option Year 3 (July 2024 through June 2025), along with comparative data for prior option years and the base year (January-June 2022).

The document tracks water sampling across seven facilities: Asheville (47 buildings), Durham (1 building), Fayetteville (1 building), Hampton (110 buildings), Richmond (500 buildings), Salem (12 buildings), and Salisbury (14 buildings). For Option Year 3, the total contract requirement is 3,674 samples annually, comprised of base samples taken quarterly (20 samples per quarter per facility), resamples, and discretionary samples. The spreadsheet provides granular quarterly breakdowns showing samples taken versus samples billed for each category, with running totals of remaining contracted samples available. Notable entries include Hampton's 944 annual samples (reflecting 110 buildings and higher resample/discretionary requirements) and Richmond's 452 annual samples (500 buildings). Samples are to be collected from both hot and cold water systems at distal points of delivery from rooms mutually identified by VA facility staff and the contractor. The document includes footnotes indicating that certain facilities (such as Hampton's temporary residential buildings) were not sampled due to being unoccupied, and that Salem performed additional testing as part of low-level chlorination mitigation efforts.
