Summary & Background: This request to renew the existing contract to provide laboratory testing services.
Scope of Work: This contract provides laboratory testing services of wastewater discharge effluent for the Department of Public Works as required to remain compliant with EPD regulations and the County’s National Pollution Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Permit in the operation of the wastewater treatment plants. The vast majority of the analyses performed under this contract are for regulatory purposes with the remainder used for quality control and assurance of the wastewater treatment process.
Community Impact: If this item is not approved and laboratory testing services are not performed, the EPD may take regulatory enforcement action against the County for failure to remain compliant with our permit, resulting in possible fines and/or consent orders.
Department Recommendation: The Department recommends approval to renew the existing contract.
Project Implications: Laboratory testing is a regulatory requirement of the County’s National Pollution Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) wastewater discharge permits. Not completing these tests could result in possible enforcement against the County for permit compliance violations.
Community Issues/Concerns: No issues/concerns were raised by clients concerning the laboratory testing services.
Department Issues/Concerns: The Department of Public Works has no issues or concerns with the performance of the current vendor.
