Background: The Environmental Management Department has previously contracted with California Laboratory Services for laboratory testing services associated with the operation and reporting requirements of the Union Mine Disposal Site, Hazardous Material Local Oversight Program from the State, and the River Management program.
Reason for Recommendation: The Environmental Management Department is requesting to enter into a Contract with California Laboratory Services (CLS) to provide analytical testing of groundwater, surface water, storm water, wastewater, soil, hazardous materials and hazardous waste sample testing for the Union Mine Landfill, Union Mine Wastewater Treatment Facility, Meyers Landfill, Solid Waste and Hazardous Materials Division, Environmental Health Division and the River Management Program.
Varying degrees of analytical testing of groundwater, surface water, wastewater, storm water, soil, hazardous materials and hazardous waste is required either by law, permit and/or public safety. In addition to the Union Mine Disposal Site waste discharge requirements, the Environmental Management Department is certified by the State of California Environmental Protection Agency to implement the hazardous materials regulatory programs, including the hazardous materials storage, hazardous waste generator, hazardous waste onsite treatment, underground storage tank programs, and the Local Oversight Program which concentrates on contaminated site remediation. The River Management Program, as required by the El Dorado County River Management Plan, requires storm water sampling from Chili Bar to Salmon Falls as a form of mitigation monitoring.
In accordance with Board of Supervisor's Policy C-17, Sections 7.5 and 7.10, the Procurement and Contracts division of the CAO's office has reviewed this request to process the subject agreement with California Laboratory Services and concurs that no competitive selection process is required. Outside review of the contractor's qualifications took place in February of 2012. The Procurement and Contracts division of the CAO's office determined that no additional outside review was necessary.
Action to be taken following Board approval: Forward executed Agreement to the Department for processing.
