Background The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) is conducting market research to identify qualified businesses capable of providing wastewater analysis services certified by the Arizona Department of Health Services. This initiative is part of the agency's efforts to ensure compliance with environmental regulations and support water quality monitoring in the region. The contract aims to assist the Government in determining its acquisition strategy for future procurement, although it does not commit to any award or contract. Work Details The project involves collecting and analyzing water-quality samples from three designated locations: at the MODE 2 Outfall, 100 meters above the Outfall, and 500 meters from the Outfall. The work includes: 1. Collecting a total of eleven samples for the fiscal year, consisting of five annual samples and six semi-annual samples. 2. Conducting analyses for various parameters including metals and volatile organics as per Safe Drinking Water (SDW) and Waste Water (WW) standards. 3. Specific analytical requirements include: - Outfall site: Annual samples analyzed for 108 parameters including pH, Chromium, Copper, Mercury, and others; semi-annual samples for parameters such as pH, Boron, and Total Dissolved Solids (TDS). - 100 meter site: Annual and semi-annual samples analyzed for Boron, Copper, and Hardness (CaCO3). - 500 meter site: Annual and semi-annual samples analyzed for Boron and Copper. 4. All analytical services must be performed by a laboratory certified by the Arizona Department of Health Services using EPA methods. Period of Performance The sampling period is scheduled from February to December 2025. Place of Performance The work will be performed in Yuma, Arizona, specifically at locations adjacent to the Colorado River.
