Alpha Spectroscopy Laboratory Services Requested Scope of Work.docx

This is a Scope of Work document from the Illinois Emergency Management Agency and Office of Homeland Security (IEMA-OHS) requesting laboratory services for alpha spectroscopy analysis on soil samples. The project involves analyzing soil samples collected from approximately 50 primary investigation locations and 5 background locations as part of a uranium and thorium contamination investigation. Two separate samples will be collected from each location, with one sample analyzed for radionuclides in the Uranium-238 decay chain (U-238, U-234, and Th-230) and the second sample analyzed for radionuclides in the Thorium-232 decay chain (Th-232 and Th-228). The total number of samples expected to be analyzed is approximately 110.

The laboratory services required include sample receipt and chain of custody documentation, alpha spectroscopy analysis to determine radionuclide concentrations, analytical reports and/or certificates of analysis, quality control documentation, and disposal of residual sample materials. All deliverables must be provided to IEMA-OHS. The scope of work does not specify response dates, due dates, site visits, bidders' meetings, award dates, or contract term details. No pricing terms, set-asides, incumbent information, funding amounts, or other financial parameters are outlined in this document.
