The contract requires the successful bidder to provide all necessary sampling containers, preservatives, coolers, labels, and handle shipping costs for samples. The laboratory must submit results to the Town within 15 days of analysis and report to SDWARS within 90 days of sample collection. The Town reserves the right to add additional testing, use alternate laboratories for quality control, and negotiate pricing for supplemental testing. Laboratories must be currently EPA-approved for UCMR5 testing and disclose any subcontractor involvement, with the Town retaining the right to refuse subcontracted laboratory services. The total contract value and specific pricing details are not explicitly stated in the document.
