SUMMARY OF CHANGES

SECTION SF 30 - BLOCK 14 CONTINUATION PAGE

The following have been added by full text:

REQUEST FOR INFORMATION

(RFI) Request for Information WAD EPA Lab Testing Services

Q1) Our organizational structure has two main laboratory locations. Both locations operate as a single business unit under one Federal TAX ID. Will the USACE recognize both laboratory locations as the “contractor”?

A1) Yes. The technical, management, and past performance elements should be addressed for each location in your proposal.

Q2) 2. UCMR3 pricing – is this pricing supposed to be on the pricing sheet? This regulation ended in 2016.

Please note that some of the methods are not followed using the UCMR3 protocol (QC, Standards, etc) as they were specific to the program. We can offer substitute methods but they will not follow UCMR3 protocol.

A2) Yes. The referenced UCMR3 parameters, methods, protocols, and MRLs are preferred, however, the laboratory may include alternative methods and MRLs in their proposal.

Q3) Is the intent to award to more than one laboratory in order to accommodate all the testing listed on the price schedule? Are we able to propose for partial testing, only on the drinking water parameters, or do we need to propose on everything? For example items 0071 – 0091 have very short holding times (30 hours for Drinking water, less for non-potable matrices)

A3) The intent is to have one contract awarded to a contractor with the capabilities, resources, and readiness to perform at all times (including on-demand when needed) all testing listed in the price schedule. The contractor shall include all subcontract laboratories that will be used (as applicable) in their proposal. All subcontracted laboratories shall meet the same requirements as specified in the PWS and Proposal Submission Instructions.

Q4) Can you please list the metals that are included in line items – 0111, 0112, 0140, & 0141

A4) Please refer to pages 38, 44, 45, and 46 of the solicitation.
