Proposed Motion: |
Move City Council approve Agreement No. PW9-962-4035, Amendment No. 4, with Eurofins Environment Testing Southwest, LLC; Legend Technical Services of Arizona, Inc.; and Radiation Safety Engineering, Inc., for laboratory testing services, in a combined amount not to exceed $479,000, for the period of May 1, 2023, through April 30, 2024. |
Background/Discussion: |
The Environmental Protection Agency and the Arizona Department of Environmental Quality mandate tests for drinking water and wastewater. The City's Water Quality, Wastewater Quality, Environmental Management, Solid Waste Services, and Ocotillo Brine Reduction Facility divisions use the laboratory testing services to manage various testing requirements. The use of multiple laboratories provides assurance that tests will be completed promptly and at the lowest cost. Laboratory testing services used by the Ocotillo Brine Reduction Facility are paid for by Intel Corporation. |
Evaluation: |
On April 25, 2019, City Council approved Agreement No. PW9-962-4035, with Eurofins Environment Testing Southwest, LLC; Legend Technical Services of Arizona, Inc.; and Radiation Safety Engineering, Inc., for laboratory testing services, for a one-year period, with the option of up to four (4) additional one-year extensions. The contractors have agreed to extend for one year at the same terms and conditions. Staff recommends extension of this agreement for the term of May 1, 2023, through April 30, 2024. This is the fourth extension of the original agreement. |
