3. Base pricing on a Level 2b data package and identify applicable surcharges for Level 3+4 data package deliverables. Data packages should contain at a minimum all the required information as defined in Appendix C for each level.

4. For analytical services provided, laboratory quality control (QC) analyses (i.e., laboratory blanks, laboratory duplicate, matrix spike/matrix spike duplicate, laboratory control sample/laboratory control sample duplicate, and standard reference material) and dilution analyses as a result of sample matrix effects are considered mandatory and are not chargeable as individual samples. When provided adequate sample volume, laboratory duplicates, matrix spikes, and matrix spike duplicates are to be performed on WSDOT samples as applicable for the method.

5. Field QC samples, such as field duplicates, field replicates, and equipment rinsate blanks, are chargeable as individual samples.

6. All sample bottles/containers, packing/shipping materials, and shipment of these supplies to WSDOT are considered part of the analytical cost and are not chargeable as separate items.

7. Prices are based on a turnaround time (TAT) of 15 business days. Identify applicable percent surcharge for 48-hour and five-business-day expedited TAT.

8. Laboratory-grade sampling equipment cleaning prices, including:

9. Hourly rate, billed in fifteen (15) minute increments at the same rate, no matter when those hours are worked;

a. Minimum charge for small batches;

b. Cost for expedited cleaning services; and

c. Cost for delivery to a drop-off location or laboratory near the major State Route (see Section 6.2.3.1) or shipping to WSDOT in Tumwater, WA 98512.

a. Prices for sample pick-up are per pick-up. Please provide courier pricing for the following locations:

i. A drop-off location at a WSDOT facility, location to be determined after contract award, near the major State Route near Tumwater; and

ii. A laboratory- or Vendor-maintained drop-off location near the major State Route. Must be able to drop-off samples after hours.

b. Certified contaminant-free blank water for use during field QC.

c. Disposable sampling equipment such as orthophosphate and metals filters (e.g., pre-cleaned Nalgene 0.45-micron filters).

d. Work billed at an hourly rate. All actual hours will be billed in fifteen (15) minute increments in arrears at the same rate, no matter when those hours are worked. Examples of work that may be billed hourly:

i. Senior chemist consulting services
