This is Amendment No. 2 to County Contract No. 2021-230 between Sarasota County, Florida and Benchmark EnviroAnalytical, Inc., executed July 10, 2024, for laboratory testing services in Category 3. The amendment renews the contract for one year, effective August 23, 2024 through August 22, 2025, with a maximum compensation amount of $300,000.00 for services provided during the renewal term. The amendment updates the fee schedule for all laboratory testing services under Category 3, which encompasses microbiological testing (fecal coliform, enterococci, and E. coli), nutrient analysis (ammonia-N, orthophosphorus, total Kjeldahl nitrogen, total nitrate plus nitrite-N, and total phosphate), residue and demand testing (biochemical oxygen demand, total suspended solids, and total volatile suspended solids), physical properties and minerals testing (color, pH, turbidity, chloride, and specific conductance), metals analysis (total iron, total lead, and total zinc), and other specialized analyses including chlorophyll a and UV-absorbing organic constituents.

The updated fee schedule in Exhibit B reflects pricing increases across multiple analyte tests compared to the previous amendment rates. Unit prices for microbiological tests range from $19.00 to $32.00 per test, nutrient analysis ranges from $2.00 to $29.00 per test, and other categories are similarly adjusted. Field sampling services are priced at $64.00 per hour, with expedited analysis multipliers available at 1.8x cost for 24-hour turnaround, 1.4x for 48-hour turnaround, and 1.2x for 72-hour turnaround. All other terms, covenants, and conditions of the original Term Contract No. 2021-230 remain in full force and effect. The amendment was executed by Sarasota County's Procurement Official Jennifer Slusarz, CPPO, CPPB, and approved as to form by the County Attorney.
