About this opportunity
The School Board of Marion County, Florida has issued Bid #4145GM for a term contract for water monitoring services, seeking a laboratory to perform comprehensive water quality testing across district facilities. The procurement covers fourteen distinct testing categories including microbiological analysis, volatile organic compounds, nitrate/nitrite, lead and copper, water quality parameters, primary inorganic contaminants, and synthetic organic contaminants. Samples will be collected by current water and wastewater treatment plant vendors, with all testing and reporting mandated to comply with Department of Environmental Protection Regulation #62-550. Bidders must be Florida Department of Health certified for Safe Drinking Water and Clean Water Acts, maintain current DEP-approved quality assurance plans, and hold NELAC accreditation. The solicitation was released on July 30, 2025, with questions due by August 12, 2025, and bid submissions required electronically through www.myvendorlink.com by August 15, 2025, at 2:00 PM. The contract is scheduled for Board approval on September 9, 2025, with a term from October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2026, and options for three additional one-year renewals.
No specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises were explicitly noted in the procurement documents. The incumbent and awarded vendor is Advanced Environmental Laboratories, Inc. from Gainesville, Florida, which submitted the sole bid and met all administrative requirements. The district has budgeted $35,000 for this contract, with per-sample pricing ranging from $14.00 for nitrate/nitrite analysis to $575.00 for synthetic organic contaminants. Emergency or after-hours services are priced at $50.00. Awarded contractors must maintain specific insurance coverages including Workers' Compensation, Commercial General Liability, and Business Automobile Liability, each with minimum limits of $1,000,000. The contract requires that no more than 10 percent of samples may be subcontracted, and the laboratory is responsible for all costs associated with failed or repeated samples. Contractual personnel must also comply with the Jessica Lunsford Act and meet Florida Statute background screening requirements.
