Bid Water Sampling

The Prince George's County Public Schools Office of Purchasing and Supply is issuing an Invitation for Bid (IFB) for Bid Water Sampling services. The selected contractor(s) will be responsible for conducting initial first-draw sampling, flush sampling, and post-remediation sampling at drinking water outlets in all schools within the Prince George's County Public Schools system, which covers approximately 1,789 square miles and serves over 132,000 students. The IFB provides details on the sampling protocol, required reporting, and project timeline, with the intent for the initial sampling to be completed between August and December 2022. The contract term is for three years, with the option to renew for two additional one-year periods. The bid is due on June 2, 2022, and no pre-bid meeting is scheduled. The contract will be awarded to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder(s).

This procurement does not appear to have any set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. There is no incumbent contractor, and the total budget for the project is not specified. The IFB requires bidders to provide pricing for labor rates for water samplers, project managers, and administrative staff, as well as the price per water sample, which should be all-inclusive of analytical, delivery, and disposable costs.
