Performance Work Statement Environmental Laboratory Services

1.0 General

The Bureau of Reclamation (BOR) – Lower Colorado Regional (LCR) is in need of services to provide environmental analytical laboratory services to ensure compliance with federal and state environmental regulatory compliance requirements. Environmental analytical laboratory services shall include analysis of environmental media to include solids, liquids, and semisolids.

2.0 Objective

The objective of this performance work statement is for Contractor(s) to provide LCR with environmental analytical laboratory services.

3.0 Background

BOR, LCR is one of five BOR Regions in 17 western states working to implement BOR’s mission to manage, develop, and protect water and related resources in an environmentally and economically sound manner in the interest of the American public.

LCR has industrial and laboratory facilities that generate environmental waste, environmental laboratory services are needed to help with determining what chemicals are in this waste. Occasionally LCR is required to identify unknown chemicals that have been illegally dumped on LCR lands. Also, with the age of buildings in the LCR there is a possibility that asbestos containing materials were used during construction as well as lead base paint.

BOR-LCR has the following Offices that at any time may use this contract mechanism to address environmental releases or the threat of a release and/or discharge:

• Lower Colorado Dams Office (Hoover Dam, Davis Dam and Parker Dam)

• Phoenix Area Office

• Yuma Area Office

• Lower Colorado Regional Offices (This includes the Multi-Species Conservation Program Office and Boulder

Canyon Operations Office)

4.0 Requirements Task:

(1) The following environmental laboratory services may be ordered under a BPA Call.
