About this file
This is a Cost Proposal attachment for Laboratory Monitoring Services submitted to Cecil County, Maryland, detailing the contractor's proposed analytical methods and pricing structure for wastewater and sludge sample analysis. The proposal outlines a comprehensive scope of laboratory testing services across three primary sample matrices: non-potable water, Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA) compliance samples, and solid (dry weight) materials. The proposed items span approximately 80+ distinct analytical tests utilizing EPA-approved and Maryland Department of the Environment-compliant methodologies, including analyses for heavy metals (lead, cadmium, arsenic, chromium), microbial testing (E. coli, enterococci, total coliform), nutrient analysis (ammonia, phosphorus, nitrogen compounds), organic compounds (PCBs, volatile organic acids, haloacetic acids), and general water quality parameters (pH, conductivity, temperature, alkalinity). Estimated quantities range from single-digit analyses for specialized tests to 884 samples for BOD₅ and TSS testing, with most standard tests assigned a turn-around time of 5 days and sample pickup services offered for standard, custom, and holiday/weekend scenarios at 104, 2, and 5 instances respectively.
The proposal includes specific unit pricing fields for each analytical test and service, though individual unit prices are not populated in this cost proposal attachment. The contractor has proposed utilizing standard EPA methods (such as EPA 200.8, EPA 300.0, and EPA 524.2) and SM (Standard Methods) protocols, with alternative method codes available where applicable, provided they comply with EPA and MDE guidelines. Sample preparation services, including 0.45-micron filtration, are included in the service offerings, and the proposal accommodates flexibility in analytical methodologies to meet regulatory requirements specific to each sample matrix and regulatory framework.
