Analytical Services for Groundwater, Leachate and Other Samples, Annual Requirement– As Needed

The City of Spokane issued an RFP for analytical laboratory services covering groundwater, landfill leachate, and occasional special samples (e.g., used‑oil PCB and VOC testing). The work is “as‑needed” with an estimated annual spend of roughly $45 K and a base two‑year term (Oct 1 2021 – Sep 30 2023) that can be extended up to three additional one‑year periods. The contract is a unit‑price arrangement; vendors must submit pricing for each listed test (EPA and Washington State methods) on the provided pricing sheet. The City requires an accredited laboratory (WAC 173‑50) capable of delivering results within typical 30‑day turnaround windows, electronic reporting, and QA/QC documentation. No guaranteed minimum volume is provided, and the award was evaluated under a full‑open competition with technical (20 %), management (40 %), and cost (40 %) weighting. The sole evaluated vendor, Anatek Labs, received near‑maximum scores, indicating award. • Scope – analytical testing of groundwater, leachate, and specialty matrices (PCB, VOC). • Volume – estimated 1,000+ individual analyses per year; $45 K annual budget. • Term – 2‑year base with up to three 1‑year extensions (max 5 years). • Requirements – WAC‑accredited lab, electronic reporting, QA/QC data, optional courier services.
