Wastewater Sample Lab Testing Services

Forsyth County, Georgia is seeking qualified laboratory vendors to provide comprehensive Wastewater Sample Lab Testing Services for its Department of Water and Sewer in 2026, with options to renew the contract for two additional one-year terms. The procurement is structured as an Invitation to Quote (ITQ No: 25-19-3320) soliciting detailed laboratory testing services for various environmental and chemical analyses, including Ammonia, BOD5, COD, Metals, Mercury, Volatile Organic Compounds, and specialized tests. Vendors must submit firm, fixed pricing for 21 different types of lab tests, with each test type having a quantity of 1, and must include all associated costs within their pricing. The quote submission deadline is September 11, 2025, at 2:00 pm EST, with a question and answer period closing on September 2, 2025. All quotes must be submitted electronically through the EUNA procurement platform, and selected vendors must provide test results within 45 days of sample receipt, manage sample collection bottles and labels, and handle sample transportation. Evaluation criteria will likely focus on comprehensive compliance with EPA testing standards, specifically 40 CFR Part 136 procedures, and the ability to meet detailed technical specifications.

The procurement appears open to all qualified laboratory testing vendors without specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises. Vendors must comply with federal work authorization programs, submit various affidavits and certifications, and demonstrate non-discrimination policies. The contract allows for pricing proposals covering calendar years 2026, 2027, and 2028, with vendors able to propose renewal percentage increases for subsequent years. While specific budget ranges are not explicitly stated, the comprehensive nature of the testing services suggests a potentially significant contract value. The General Services Agreement provides a framework with a maximum contract term until December 31, 2028, and requires contractors to maintain extensive insurance coverage, including workers' compensation, general liability, and professional liability, with minimum coverage amounts ranging from $1,000,000 to $3,000,000 per occurrence. Vendors must also verify employee work status through the E-Verify program and comply with all legal and regulatory requirements associated with wastewater sample laboratory testing.
