Lead and Copper Analysis

The City of Thornton is seeking a single vendor to manage its residential lead‑and‑copper testing program. The award will cover the full lifecycle of the program – from kit production and distribution, resident outreach, coordination with a Colorado‑certified laboratory, result reporting, and a cloud‑based software platform for tracking and reporting. The contract starts 1 Oct 2026, runs through 31 Dec 2027 with the option to renew annually for up to six additional years, and requires weekly status updates to the city’s Water Quality Lab. • Provide complete sampling kits (including outbound and return postage) to designated residences and manage kit inventory. • Conduct resident communication (mailings, reminders) and deliver customized result letters that comply with EPA/State requirements. • Use a Colorado‑certified laboratory for lead‑and‑copper analysis; alert the lab if results exceed action levels. • Supply a multi‑user, web‑based portal for the city to enter data, track kit status, view/export results, and order or invalidate kits. • Deliver weekly progress reports and price the solution on a per‑kit, per‑analysis, and annual software‑subscription basis.
