Zooplankton Analysis

The Surface Water Management Division of the Snohomish County Department of Public Works issued a renewable‑quote solicitation for laboratory analysis of zooplankton in surface‑water samples. The work includes identification and enumeration of zooplankton for approximately 30 existing samples and up to 15 new samples per year for 2016‑2017. The scope covers sample preparation, microscopic analysis, data reporting, and any required quality‑control documentation. This effort supports the county’s water‑quality monitoring program and informs management decisions for surface‑water resources. • Laboratory services to identify and count zooplankton species. • Reporting of results for historical (≈30) and future (up to 15 annually) samples. • Coordination with the county’s Surface Water Management Division for sample logistics and data integration.
