The purpose of amendment 0002 is to answer industry questions, as follows:
Question: Reference SOW Section 3, a. We see the requirement to send Arkansas certification and DoD accreditation and MDLs/PQLs to marcia.a.wayland.civ@army.mil. Should we send this documentation to Marcia Wayland when we send the quote to you, or should we send the documentation upon award?
Answer: Please submit these documents to Larry Owens (email provided in the solicitation) with your quote package. Please DO NOT copy Ms. Wayland when you submit your quote package.
Question: Please send Enclosure 2 – Example MDL PQL Spreadsheet in excel format so that we can add our limits.
Answer: See Attachment SOW Enclosure 2 – Example MDL PQL Spreadsheet
Question: The Price Matrix document only includes a few of the tests listed in Enclosure 1 of the SOW. Please confirm that we should only quote the tests in the price matrix and not the entire list in Enclosure 1.
Answer: Yes. Only quote the tests listed on the Price Matrix.
Question: If all tests in Enclosure 1 are to be priced, please confirm that it is acceptable to only bid on the tests that we perform.
Answer: A quote must contain pricing for all tests listed in the Price Matrix to be considered Technically Acceptable
Question: When is this project slated to start?
Answer: The projected start date for this contract is 03 September 2024.
Question: What is the frequency?
Answer: Project is on-going. We sample most of our groundwater wells twice a year:
March through June and then September through mid-December. So no samples for this project in July, August, January, and February. We have 150 wells we sample in the first round and 100 wells in the second round. Of all of these samples 11 in each round are surface water. The rest are groundwater.
Question: Please confirm the following list of compounds:
Anions: Chloride, Sulfate, Nitrate, Nitrite
Dissolved Gasses: Methane, Ethane, Ethene, Carbon Dioxide
Answer: Anions—Chloride, Fluoride, Sulfate, Nitrate, Nitrate+Nitrite as N Dissolved Gasses—Methane, Ethane, and Ethene only; no Carbon Dioxide required.
Question: For Mercury, please advise of what reporting limit is required. The excel sheet you provided noted 245.1 (similar to 7470) or 1631, Standard Mercury: Method 7470: LOQ: 0.250 ug/L, LOD: 0.20 ug/L.
Low Level Mercury: Method 1631E: LOQ: 0.50 ng/L, LOD: 0.20 ng/L).
Answer: Standard Mercury limit is what we need—0.2 ug/L LOD—so Method 7470 is acceptable.
