| RECOMMENDATION: |
Recommendation Concerning the Award of a Purchase Order, for General Laboratory Services, for Escambia County Waste Services Department - Patrick T. Johnson, Waste Services Department Director
That the Board authorize the County Administrator to sign a Purchase Order to ALS Group USA Corp./ALS Environmental, in the amount of $41,000. ALS Group USA Corp./ALS Environmental submitted a quote, in the amount of $35,674.50, and was found to be the lowest responsive vendor. This Purchase Order is for general laboratory analysis of the FDEP required collection of water samples by the Escambia County Water Quality Laboratory, which supports the Waste Services Department monitoring program.
The amount of the Purchase Order represents testing for both Fall 2020 and Spring 2021 testing events and also includes funding for re-testing of samples, if needed, due to possible sampling issues (i.e. contamination, re-sampling to confirm results, etc.).

| BACKGROUND: |
Per FDEP requirement, groundwater and surface water monitoring is a requirement of the Perdido Landfill permit. For the past seven years, environmental professionals from Escambia County's Department of Natural Resources Management, Water Quality and Land Management Division have completed field work to collect water samples from the Perdido Landfill and from three closed landfills (i.e. Beulah, Klondike and Saufley Field). The Escambia County Water Quality Laboratory (ECWQL) needs certified laboratory testing to support the monitoring program, and requires a Florida certified laboratory which operates five days per week and which can respond to emergency calls within one hour from the request by the ECWQL.
