Pre-Advertisement Notice Trace Organic Laboratory Services

The City of Atlanta, on behalf of the Department of Watershed Management (DWM), will shortly undergo a Multi-
Step Sealed Bid process comprised of a prequalification phase as the initial step, followed by an Invitation for Bid
(IFB) toward the procurement of qualified contractors to provide trace organic laboratory testing services to support
compliance with National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permits and industrial pretreatment
program requirements. Interested vendors during the prequalification phase will be evaluated on their demonstrated
experience providing laboratory analytical services for wastewater, industrial pretreatment, and environmental
compliance programs, including trace organic analysis, priority pollutant testing, whole effluent toxicity (WET)
testing, quality assurance/quality control (QA/QC) procedures, sample handling, reporting, and regulatory
compliance services within municipal or environmental laboratory environments. Evaluation will also consider
each vendor¿s ability to comply with all applicable federal, state, and local requirements, including the National
Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) program requirements, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
(EPA) regulations, Georgia Environmental Protection Division (GA EPD) requirements, and analytical methods
established under 40 CFR Part 136. The City¿s expectation is that the selected vendor will deliver timely, accurate,
and compliant laboratory analysis and reporting services that support regulatory compliance, ensure data integrity,
maintain required turnaround times, and enhance operational reliability for DWM¿s wastewater treatment and
pretreatment monitoring programs. A Pre-Solicitation Conference will be noticed and held to provide more details
and address questions. Hope to see you there.
