About this opportunity

Written by GovTribe AI ·

The City of Madison Water Utility in Wisconsin is seeking laboratory analytical services for drinking water analysis during the 2026 calendar year, with potential extensions for 2027 and 2028. The procurement involves comprehensive water quality testing across multiple analytical categories, including inorganic compounds, volatile and synthetic organic compounds, and radionuclides. Specific services encompass regulatory metals testing, lead and copper analysis, nutrient analysis, volatile organic compound testing, disinfection by-products evaluation, and radionuclide screening. Proposing laboratories must submit detailed documentation including method reporting limits, method detection limits, quality assurance/quality control plans, shipping and turn-around-time information, and proof of required accreditations. The solicitation requires electronic reporting to the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources, sample bottle provision, and return shipping. Key deadlines include January 12, 2026, at 2:00 PM Central Time for question submissions, with answers posted by January 15, 2026, and proposal submissions due by February 2, 2026, at 2:00 PM Central Time via email. The evaluation criteria will weight cost/pricing at 30 percent, local vendor preference at 5 percent, and technical criteria at 65 percent, focusing on analytical capability, reliability, access, and timeliness.

The procurement does not specify explicit set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises, though local vendors can receive preference points if registered with the City by the proposal due date. Contractors with 15 or more employees earning $50,000 or more in aggregate annual business with the City must file an Affirmative Action Plan and participate in the RaISE program. The City reserves the right to select multiple laboratories and potentially utilize different vendors for specific analyte groups rather than awarding a single comprehensive contract. Insurance requirements include commercial general liability ($1,000,000 per occurrence), workers' compensation, and professional liability ($1,000,000). Proposing firms must submit Form A (Price Proposal and Signature Affidavit), Form B (References), and Form C (Vendor Profile). While specific budget ranges are not explicitly stated, the detailed price proposal form suggests anticipated sample volumes for various testing categories, including 25 samples for regulatory metals, 60 samples for lead and copper, 400 samples for iron and manganese, and 35 samples for radionuclide testing. The City maintains flexibility in contract award, with the potential to reject all proposals, make partial awards, or cancel the RFP entirely.
