The solicitation, issued on March 13, 2026, seeks laboratory testing capabilities to support the county's water, wastewater, stormwater, and solid waste systems. Services are divided into three categories: Category 1 covers wastewater permit compliance, drinking water permit compliance, water use permit compliance, and basic water quality testing; Categories 2 and 3 cover specialized testing services including microbiology, inorganics, nutrients, metals, and solid waste permit compliance testing. Sample collection and testing will be performed at five county facilities comprising three water reclamation facilities, one water treatment plant, and the Central County Solid Waste Disposal Complex.

Sample pickups are required seven days per week at water reclamation facilities and Monday through Friday at potable water facilities. The county reserves the right to award multiple contracts per category, up to a maximum of two per category, with awards going to responsive and responsible bidders submitting the lowest price per category. No local or American business preferences apply due to grant funding requirements. The solicitation identifies no incumbent vendors or current contractors, and estimated usage quantities are provided for planning purposes only without guarantee of actual acquisition amounts.
