PERFORMANCE WORK STATEMENT

1. The purpose of this contract is to provide APHC (Prov) with a Department of Defense Environmental Laboratory Accreditation Program (DoD ELAP) Accredited Laboratory to perform the analytical services for the analysis of ground/surface water, soil/sediment, and air samples for the Dioxin/Furan compounds.

1.2 Procedures specified in this Performance Work Statement (PWS) shall be used in the analyses of ground/surface water, soil/sediment, and air samples for Dioxin/Furan compounds as identified. If the referenced standard procedures have been modified in any way (extraction, analysis, types and number of QC samples employed, QC acceptance criteria, etc), these modifications must be clearly explained in the laboratory SOPs and provided to APHC (Prov) prior to contract award for approval. Contractor shall employ safe handling techniques and quality assurance/quality control protocol as described in this performance work statement in Attachment 3 entitled "Quality Control Requirements".

2 GENERAL REQUIREMENTS

2.1 The contractor shall use state of the art instrumentation, technologies, and methodologies to analyze samples for the parameters.

2.2 Contractor shall meet 21 Calendar Day turnaround time for standard priority sample analyses. For samples designated High Priority, the contractor shall meet 10 Calendar Day turnaround time. An estimate of 10% of the total samples submitted for this contract will be High Priority. Holidays and Weekends are considered ‘calendar’ days.

Turnaround time is defined as the intervening time period between the date of sample receipt in the contractor laboratory to the date of receipt of a complete and technically acceptable data package (Final package (pdf file) + electronic data deliverable) in the APHC (Prov) laboratory. Data packages are considered “late” if they are over the 21 calendar day turnaround for standard and over the 10 calendar day turnaround for high priority.

2.3 Contractor shall adhere to requirements for sample containers, sample preservation and holding times as dictated by the analytical methods and/or other specific regulatory guidance. The contractor shall analyze samples within the method holding time specified, even if these times are less than the calendar days allowed by contract.

2.4 The contractor shall follow strict quality assurance and quality control protocol per the Department of Defense Quality Systems Manual (QSM), current version; applicable analytical methods found in this PWS. All method-specific quality assurance/quality control requirements (laboratory blanks, laboratory control samples, laboratory/method dups, method-required matrix spikes) shall be included in the contractor per field sample unit price (no separate additional charges for laboratory/method-required QA/QC will be incurred/paid). Field QC samples (field blanks, rinse blanks, matrix spike requirements above method requirements) shall be charged the field sample rate.

2.5 The contractor lab must follow chain of custody procedures for all samples from the APHC (Prov).

2.6 The contractor shall submit reports and electronic data. Each data package consists of a pdf package/file and an electronic data deliverable. If the contractor does not submit data packages on time and/or submits incomplete/technically deficient data packages, the contractor may be required to pay liquidated damages to the Government as follows:

3 SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS

The contractor shall provide the required analytical expertise and instrumentation to achieve required detection/quantitation limits as specifically identified. Further, any EPA criteria approved during the life of this contract must also be implemented/achievable (EPA RSLs, etc.). If specific limits are not provided (air), any limits specified in the analytical methods for a particular matrix must be achievable.

3.1 Dioxins/Furans with 90% of total samples with Standard Priority and 10% with High Priority.

3.2 Dioxins/Furans with 90% of total samples with Standard Priority and 10% with High Priority.

3.3 Dioxins/Furans with 90% of total samples with Standard Priority and 10% with High Priority.

3.4 Sample Pickup Protocol at APHC (Prov) lab - The contractor’s courier shall be responsible for pickup [from APHC (Prov)], packaging and delivery of samples. Samples shall be picked up by the contractor’s courier within 24 hours of notification by the COR or a designated representative. The courier is responsible for packaging and transporting the samples under conditions dictated in the EPA methodology. At the time of sample pickup by the contractor, the samples and required tests will be identified by the APHC (Prov) COR on a Pickup Order/ Delivery Order (External Chain of Custody) Form. This document shall be signed and dated by the APHC (Prov) COR or designee to document the date and time of sample transfer to the contract lab. The contractor courier shall date and sign the Pickup Order form to document the transfer of possession of the sample(s). A contractor representative/ project manager shall document the transfer of possession from the courier to the contract lab facility. The contractor shall immediately report in writing to the COR, all samples lost or broken in transit.

3.5 Sample Shipment Protocol From a APHC (Prov) lab - If applicable, APHC (Prov) personnel will be responsible to package samples and ship them to the contractor. Please note that APHC (Prov) shall pay the shipping costs for transportation of the samples. Contractor and APHC (Prov) shall store and/or ship samples in accordance with the preservation guidelines as noted in the analytical method until samples are analyzed, and thereafter until results are approved by the COR. The contractor shall immediately report all samples lost or broken in shipment, with as much detail as possible, to the COR.

3.6 Direct shipment of samples from the field to the contractor – If holding times are of concern, there may be a necessity to ship the samples to the contract lab directly from the field following collection. The APHC (Prov) project officer will ship the samples and a corresponding field Chain-of-Custody (COC) document to the contract lab. When the contract lab receives the samples and corresponding field COC forms, a contractor’s project manager or designee shall sign the COC forms verifying receipt of samples and immediately (within the same business day of receipt) forward the field COC to the COR for review, accountability, and LIMS login at the APHC (Prov). The contractor’s project manager will also report to the COR the condition of the samples upon receipt (to include receipt temperature) in the contractor lab. The APHC (Prov) COR shall use project planning information and the information on the COC form to generate a Pickup Order Form containing all applicable information (i.e. APHC (Prov) lab ID, APHC (Prov) field ID, analyses requested, matrix, points-of-contact, etc). The generated pickup order form will be forwarded electronically to the contract laboratory. The contractor shall then begin sample analysis. The contract laboratory project manager shall assure that the contract laboratory analyzes the sample within holding times specified in applicable methodology. If paperwork from the COR is pending, the contract lab should obtain guidance from the COR to proceed with analysis to meet holding times.
