Chemical and geotechnical analyses of EN

The U.S. Geological Survey has a requirement for chemical analysis services of environmental (water, solid, air, and biological) samples for organic and inorganic constituents, and geotechnical analyses of solid (sediment, sludge, and soil) using U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) analytical methods and other published analytical methods such as Standard Methods and ASTM methods. Legally defensible data meeting strict quality control standards are required. Analytical services may be needed for chemical and geotechnical analyses of environmental samples collected by the USGS for other regulatory-type projects requiring USEPA or similar published, standardized analytical methods and well-documented analytical and quality control results. The majority of samples to be analyzed for the USGS projects will be aqueous (water) samples collected mostly from surface sources with some ground water, sediment, and tissue samples.

The contractor shall furnish all labor, materials equipment and facilities that are required for the geotechnical and chemical analysis. All required instruments and/or equipment, shall be purchased, set-up, calibrated, and on-line prior to award of contract.

The Contractor shall provide analytical services, supplies, and deliverables for chemical and geotechnical analyses of environmental samples collected for USGS projects. Analytical services may be requested by the USGS for other regulatory-type projects located throughout the United States.
