PERFORMANCE WORK STATEMENT

The contractor shall be a full-service laboratory able to furnish all labor, materials and supplies to accomplish the biological analyses as shown below. All data reports must be delivered by the contractor to the Government representative, Jenifer Netchaev within the appropriate turnaround time (see Table 1) of sample receipt depending on the analysis requested as detailed below, unless specific reporting times are requested at the time of service request.

The analyses to be performed are shown below in Table 1. Detailed requirements are listed for each of the analyses below the table.

Data deliverable: Electronic data in Microsoft Excel. The appropriate templates are attached.

Data and chain of custody form associated with the data should be sent directly from the Laboratory to the ERDC POCs (Jenifer Netchaev, Kelli Hartman, and Shinita Jordan).

Task 1:

1- Phytoplankton Identification and Enumeration – Quantity of 520 samples for Regular TAT;

Quantity of 63 samples for Fast TAT; Quantity of 113 for Rush TAT

Turnaround time dependent on which turnaround time is requested (Table 1), from the time of receiving the samples;

Supplying the government, or it's hired contractors, with sample bottles containing the appropriate amount of any required algal preservative, bottle labels, and COCs prior to sample collection;

Completing analysis of Phytoplankton identification to lowest taxonomic level possible (preferably to species) and enumeration.

For each species, results shall include counts, calculated density and biovolume.

References and citations may be requested for all identifications. All information necessary for density determinations shall be provided upon request, i.e. chamber mailto:Kelli.L.Hartman@usace.army.mil mailto:Shinita.M.Jordan@usace.army.mil mailto:Jenifer.M.Netchaev@erdc.dren.mil volume, settling volume, field area, etc. Leftover test material (chemicals, solutions) shall become the responsibility of the Contractor for proper disposal.

Reporting results in the Phytoplankton template is required (Attachment 1; the Contractor may request an electronic copy); LRN final format template is required upon request (Attachment 2; the Contractor may request an electronic copy); all results must be accompanied with the corresponding chain of custody forms.

Samples will be retained by the lab for one year from the date the results are reported.
