PERFORMANCE WORK STATEMENT

The contractor shall be a full-service laboratory able to furnish all labor, materials and supplies to accomplish the biological analyses as shown below. The contractor should have a experience and expertise in the requested analyses at the specific geographic areas and identification to the lowest taxonomic level (generally species) in the samples.

This project requirement is due to the need for continuity of data for long term tracking of trends. All data reports must be delivered by the contractor to the Government representatives within the appropriate turnaround time (see Table 1) of sample receipt depending on the analysis requested as detailed below, unless specific reporting times are requested at the time-of-service request.

The analyses to be performed are shown below in Table 1. Detailed requirements are listed for each of the analyses below the table.

The geographic regions that the samples will originate from include: Western Pennsylvania, Southwestern New York, Northern West Virginia, Eastern Ohio, Kentucky, and Tennessee.

Data deliverable: Electronic data in Microsoft Excel. The appropriate templates are attached. Data and chain of custody form associated with the data should be sent directly from the Laboratory to the ERDC POCs.

Completing analysis of Phytoplankton identification to lowest taxonomic level possible (preferably to species) and enumeration.

For each species, results shall include counts, calculated density and biovolume. References and citations may be requested for all identifications. All information necessary for density determinations shall be provided upon request, i.e. chamber volume, settling volume, field area, etc. Leftover test material (chemicals, solutions) shall become the responsibility of the Contractor for proper disposal.

Reporting results in the Phytoplankton template is required (Attachment 1; the Contractor may request an electronic copy); LRN final format template is required upon request (Attachment 2; the Contractor may request an electronic copy); all results must be accompanied with the corresponding chain of custody forms.
