2.
Does the HPC analysis need PA state cert? Can we send the quote and certification directly to your email once prepared? Can we have a separate line for sampling fees or should the sampling price be incorporated in the cost of analysis?
Laboratory used for analysis must be EPA or state certified to conduct HPC analysis. Contractor must provide a copy of EPA or state certificate for the laboratory.
I believe the answer is NO either EPA certified or state EPA certified.
All submissions are completed via email at Edward.ferkel@va.gov. They also must be complete according to the instructions listed in the combined synopsis.
Please only include pricing listed in the price schedule. Any other fees are assumed by the vendor.
