Environmental Monitoring Services

The Puerto Rico Comprehensive Solid Refuse Disposal (CSRD) agency is soliciting proposals for comprehensive environmental monitoring services, with a specific focus on groundwater assessment at refuse disposal sites. The procurement seeks qualified firms to provide annual environmental monitoring services over a three-year term, with an additional two-year renewal option. Required services include comprehensive field sampling of groundwater, detailed laboratory analysis of collected samples, and extensive reporting from a network of monitoring wells. The primary objectives are to assess the environmental impact of waste disposal on groundwater sources and evaluate the effects of septic effluent on groundwater conditions in select Puerto Rican communities. The contract opportunity was posted on August 27, 2025, with proposals due by September 26, 2025. Prospective vendors must demonstrate professional expertise in environmental sampling, laboratory analysis, and comprehensive environmental reporting, with a strong background in hydrogeological monitoring and waste disposal environmental impact assessment.

While specific set-aside designations are not explicitly detailed in the provided information, potential respondents should anticipate standard qualifications for environmental monitoring services. The contract appears to be open to professional environmental consulting firms with demonstrated capabilities in groundwater sampling and analysis. Given the specialized nature of the services, respondents will likely need advanced scientific credentials, laboratory certifications, and proven experience in environmental monitoring within waste management contexts. Although exact budget ranges are not specified, environmental monitoring contracts of this nature typically range from $100,000 to $500,000 annually, depending on the scope and complexity of the sampling network. The three-year base contract with a potential two-year extension suggests a comprehensive and long-term commitment to environmental assessment and monitoring of Puerto Rico's waste disposal and groundwater systems.
