4.0. SAMPLE REQUIREMENTS

4.1 Sample Size and Number of Containers Attachment M, Line Item Codes, Analyte Lists and Reporting Limits, includes an estimate of sample size and provides sample preservation requirements. The Contractor shall confirm sample requirements on an ASOW-by-ASOW basis. The Contractor shall assist FBP in minimizing sample size (mass or volume) and the number of sample containers necessary to perform the requested analyses. Sample sizes provided by FBP shall be at least the protocol-specified minimum, whenever possible.

4.2 Collection, Packaging and Shipment of Samples a) Samples will be collected by FBP or its designee. b) The Contractor shall perform all activities [packaging, labeling, declarations (manifests), etc.]

governed by the U.S. Department of Transportation (49CFR) and the International Air Transport Association (IATA) in accordance with all requirements. For any sample that the Contractor cannot accept for analysis at its onsite laboratory, the Contractor will solicit its contracted labs, and identify an offsite lab(s) to support the scope. Any sample that requires analysis by an off-site commercial entity will be shipped by the Contractor. The Contractor will provide all materials and labor and incur any and all expenses associated with the packaging, preparation, shipping, or other functions required prior to shipment, such as radiological surveys, and sample shipment. This includes cost associated with:

• Shipping containers (including coolers) • Special shipping containers, such as TRUPACT-II • Shipping materials (e.g., bubble wrap) • Shipping labels • Carrier fees • Transport of samples to carrier facilities (e.g., FedEx terminal in Columbus, Ohio) • Labor to address all shipping and transportation activities • Shipping charges

c) FBP shall notify the Contractor of a pending sample shipment, including a reference to the ASOW, number of samples, and an estimated radiological activity report. FBP may require, at its discretion, a “permission to ship” notice from the Contractor. The Contractor shall assume that a shipment is radioactive and hazardous unless confirmed otherwise.

d) Samples will be delivered to the Contractor’s OSC.

15

e) The Contractor shall return all FBP’s coolers and “blue ice” within seven (7) calendar days of sample receipt, to the location from which they were transported. The coolers and accompanying “blue ice” shall be returned to FBP.

4.3 Chain of Custody The Contractor shall confirm that chain of custody forms are completed in an accurate, legible manner for all samples received.

4.4. Sample Receipt Requirements The Contractor shall have the facilities for receiving, checking, storing and maintaining samples that ensure applicable criteria, such as DOD/DOE QSM and LQAP, requirements are satisfied. The Contractor shall also have procedures and personnel in place to perform the following requirements upon sample receipt while concurrently completing the Contractor Laboratory Sample Receiving Checklist like the example shown in Attachment Q.

a) Ensure that custody seals on cooler or shipping containers are intact. b) Inspect the outside of the cooler for damage. c) Verify that all paperwork has been received (i.e., Chain-of-Custody and radiological surveys).

FBP will provide other documentation (e.g. DOE form 741) as applicable. d) Verify that all sample containers are intact. e) Verify that all samples indicated on the Chain of Custody have been received. f) Verify that sample container label information, such as sample ID and preservation, matches the

Chain of Custody. g) NOTE: As appropriate and applicable, Quality Control (QC) samples are designated on the

Chain of Custody (COC). Field replicates are reflected as regular samples on the COC form. Field and trip blanks are so noted on the COC forms. FBP notes in the comments section of the COC form when it submits additional volume for MS/MSD.

h) If samples require that temperature be at 4+/-2 C, verify that blue or wet ice and a temperature blank is included in the container used to deliver samples. For samples received within 6 hours of sample collection, it is not expected that time lapsed from sample collection to receipt by the Contractor would be sufficient to allow container or temperature blank to reach 4+/-2C. i) VOA requests. Verify that there are no bubbles or headspace in water or liquid samples and that headspace has been minimized for solid samples.

j) Confirm samples and associated documentation satisfy all items on the Contractor’s Sample receiving Checklist as acceptable or document as not applicable, resolve items as needed, then sign and date the FBP Chain of Custody form to attest that criteria were met. If, during sample receipt, the Contractor discovers any problems, discrepancies, or anomalies, the contractor shall contact the FBP APM within 24 hours of sample receipt. For discrepancies, analysis of the samples shall not be initiated until written direction (email, fax, or letter) is received from the FBP APM.

k) Provide copies of Sample Receiving Checklist and signed COC(s) to FBP shipping coordinator/designee.

l) The Contractor shall not accept sample receipt for classified samples unless it has an applicable security plan that has been approved by FBP/DOE.

16

m) The Contractor shall assure that it completes and processes NRC forms 540, 540A, 541, 541A and 741, as applicable. The 540/540A and 541/541A forms are used to comply with the Uniform Low-Level Radioactive Waste Manifest regulations identified in Appendix G to 10 CFR Part 20 (REQUIREMENTS FOR TRANSFERS OF LOW-LEVEL RADIOACTIVE WASTE INTENDED FOR DISPOSAL AT LICENSED LAND DISPOSAL FACILITIES AND MANIFESTS. The 741 form will be received during transfer of custody from the FBP shipping coordinator. The titles for these documents are as follow.

n) NRC Form 540/540A, Uniform Low-Level Radioactive Waste Manifest Shipping Paper and continuation page

o) NRC Form 541/541A, Uniform Low-Level Radioactive Waste Manifest Container and Waste Description and continuation page

p) NRC Form 741, Nuclear Material Transaction Report q) After receipt of classified samples, the Contractor’s designated official shall document the

applicable NRC forms and forward same to the FBP Uranium Materials Manager/designee. r) The Contractor shall accommodate sample receipt at its laboratory between the hours of 7 AM

and 5:30 PM on Monday through Thursday. The Contractor must provide a laboratory contact for off-hours sample receipt.

s) The signed, original Chain of Custody, the Contractor’s Laboratory Sample Receiving Checklist and a copy of each email correspondence that documents resolution of items shall be included in the final data package.

Once the appropriate Chain of Custody or receipt form is signed, the Contractor assumes full responsibility for the samples regardless of position in the analytical process.

At a minimum, each Chain of Custody record will list the sample identification, sample date, list of sample bottles, and analyses to be performed on the contents of each bottle per procedure.

The Contractor shall perform the following:

a) Sign and date / time the Chain of Custody records indicating sample receipt. b) Assign a unique Contractor identification or tracking number to the sample. c) Write the Contractor identification number on the Chain of Custody record or sample receiving

report. d) Measure the pH and / or temperature of each sample or cooler, as appropriate, to verify the

sample has been preserved correctly. (In the case of radon-222, tritium, iodine, total organic halides [TOX] and volatile analysis, measure pH at time of analysis.)

e) Record the pH and / or temperature on the Chain of Custody record or sample receiving report. A portion of the sample should be removed to measure the pH.

f) The Contractor shall have procedures ensuring that sample custody is maintained and documented. A sample is in the Contractor’s custody if: • The sample is in the Contractor’s or the Contractor’s authorized agent’s possession, or • The sample is in the Contractor’s view after being in possession, or • The sample is in the Contractor’s possession and is locked up, or • The sample is placed in a designed secure area, accessible only to the Contractor or the

Contractor’s authorized agents (if applicable).

17

The Contractor shall maintain procedures and personnel in place to perform the following activities:

Enter the samples into a Laboratory Information management System (LIMS) containing the following information:

a) FBP Project Identification b) SOW identification c) Sample delivery group identification d) Sample number (unique identifier) e) Sample matrix f) Date of receipt g) Date and time of sample collection h) Required analyses i) FBP required turn-around time.

Verify, and document, that the information entered into the LIMS is correct before releasing samples for further processing. The designated Contractor project manager or their designee shall perform this verification. The verification shall ensure that all FBP requirements, including required analyses, QC, and detection limits, are correctly entered and forwarded to the Contractor analyst prior to analytical work commencing.

4.5 Sample Handling and Storage The Contractor shall assure the integrity and security of all samples in accordance with current versions of its LQAP, the DOE/DOE QSM and other applicable EPA protocol, such as SW846, Test Methods for Evaluating Solid Waste; Physical/Chemical Methods. The Contractor shall maintain internal Chain of Custody records or other written / electronic records documenting all phases of sample handling from receipt through disposal.

The Contractor shall provide and maintain clean and organized laboratory and storage areas such that these areas do not interfere with the analyses or otherwise affect the quality of the analytical data.

4.6 Radiological Control The Contractor shall maintain a radiological control program that rigorously addresses analytical radiological control. The program shall address the procedures for segregating samples with potentially widely varying levels of radioactivity. The radiological control program shall explicitly define how low-level and high-level samples will be identified, segregated and processed in order to prevent sample cross-contamination.

4.7 Sample Preservation and Handling Sample Containers and Preservatives:

The sample requirements table in Attachment M identifies containers, and preservatives that FBP intends to submit for each matrix-method listed and are intended to satisfy applicable method and regulatory criteria. The Contractor shall confirm the required sample specification on an ASOW-

18

by- ASOW basis. However, in the event the FBP characterization/field manager decides to not preserve a sample to mitigate/address S&H concerns, the preservative will be omitted from the sample and documented as such on the LCOC. In such instance, the Contractor will have discretion to add the required preservative at the lab after confirming with the FBP APM. This will be documented by email and further documented by inclusion in the reporting deliverable.

In all instances, it is incumbent upon the Contractor to confirm that each sample as received meets container, volume/mass, and preservation requirements as per the method and LQAP criteria. Any exception shall be documented with and approved by the FBP APM. Documentation shall be included in the analytical report.

Sample Handling. Sample handling must follow the specific method as required (i.e., undisturbed, or kept upright) where applicable.

4.8 Aliquots Due to the diverse nature of samples, comprehensive specification for all sample preparation for subsampling is not practical. In all cases, the Contractor shall make every effort to assure that any aliquots or subsamples for analysis are representative of the bulk sample. Sample specific guidance / requirements may be provided by the FBP APMs on a case-by-case basis.

5.0 ANALYSIS REQUIREMENTS

5.1 Sample Characteristics Samples may have highly elevated dissolved solids, total suspended solids, radioactive, or PCB and other possible hazardous constituents, which the Contractor must be equipped to receive, handle, prepare, and analyze in accordance with its Laboratory Quality Assurance Plan and approved procedures.

5.2 Contractor Requirements Performance criteria are identified in and/or referenced by this RFP.

A Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) is defined as a written narrative description of the Contractor laboratory methods and will include examples of laboratory documents. The Contractor shall have and maintain written SOPs as specified in their QA program.

A computerized laboratory information management system (LIMS) shall be used to acquire the analytical data of the Contractor and the Contractor shall perform manual error checking to eliminate data entry errors.

The standard reporting format for FBP samples shall be a full forms plus raw data format (ASL D) (see SADQ ASL D) provided electronically (CD and, as requested by FPB, uploaded to FBP’s server), and upload of AMSED files into FBP’s Project Environmental Measurements System (PEMS). Attachment A (Performance Criteria – Master

19

Specification) discusses data package deliverables. The Contractor shall not co-mingle data from one SDG with data from another SDG, whether in hardcopy or electronic format. FBP may allow the Contractor to upload the full electronic report to FBP’s server in lieu of delivery of the CD.

For a period of one (1) year from submittal date of the last reported revision of the SDG report, the Contractor shall store the required full forms plus raw data report such that it can be retrieved, printed or provided on CD as requested by FBP, and delivered to FBP within one (1) full business day.

All reports to regulatory agencies that are associated with samples submitted to the Contractor under this contract will be submitted by the client, not the Contractor.

5.3 Analytical Requirements The Contractor shall satisfy the analytical and reporting requirements as listed in each ASOW. The analytical request may include any combination of the following:

• Volatile Organic Analyses (VOA) • Semi-Volatile Organic Analyses (SVOA) • Pesticides / PCBs • Dioxins / Furans • Herbicides • Metals • Wet Chemistry • Universal Treatment Standard List • Alpha Spec • Gamma Spec • Liquid Scintillation Counter • Gas Flow Proportional Counting • KPA • Other [as identified in a specific release (e.g., Fourier-Transform Infrared Spectroscopy to

determine a specific footprint, such that for hydraulic oil)]

For required detection limits, those listed in the individual ASOW are the requirement. See Attachment M (Line Item Codes, Analyte Lists and Reporting Limits) for methods and detection limits. FBP expects to assign the listed values as required detection limits (RDL) to an ASOW, as applicable for each program need/sample request. The Contractor’s reported practical quantitation limit (PQL) or minimum detectable amount/concentration (MDA/MDC) shall be equal to or less than the detection limit listed in the ASOW.. For general inorganic and organic analyses, any analyte not detected shall be reported at the MDL with a U qualifier. For radiochemistry analyses, any result that does not meet the criteria as having been detected will be reported with a U qualifier. Radiochemical analytical results shall be reported as measured. That is, the laboratory shall report all results, regardless of concentration or sign, and shall not report any result as “less than the MDC.” If the lab’s PQL is less than the RDL, it may request that its PQL be substituted as the RDL in the ASOW. The Contractor may propose alternate methods to FBP, but FBP must approve the alternate method for it to be considered as an acceptable method. The

20

Contractor shall confirm within one (1) business day that it can satisfy all requirements in an ASOW. In the event that FBP’s individual ASOW includes compounds/analytes or required detection limits that the lab cannot meet, the Contractor will contact its contracted labs to confirm availability of support. Note, however, that it is desired that the Contractor provide, to the extent practicable, support for all methods identified in Attachment M at its PORTS laboratory.

The Contractor shall report Tentatively Identified Compounds, if requested, for volatiles and semi- volatiles.

5.4 Analytical Holding Times The Contractor shall analyze the sample for the required constituents within the holding times identified by the analytical method and/or other applicable requirements document (e.g., SW846/Chapter 4 for organics) or as otherwise requested in the ASOW and/or Chain of Custody. This includes completion of initial analysis and review of associated data with remaining hold time sufficient for re-analysis.

The following are FBP’s requirements regarding analytical holding times:

• Holding times begin on the day of sample collection. • Holding times are measured in calendar days, unless the holding time is specified in hours or

other unit of time as stipulated by the analytical method. • Extraction holding times are met when sample extraction or digestion is initiated. • Storage time between time of sample collection and extraction and storage time between

extraction and injection/analysis shall be as specified by the applicable method/criteria and/or regulatory direction, such as SW846/Chapter 4 for organics analysis of groundwater or SW846/Chapter 3 for inorganics analysis of groundwater. Medium- or high-concentration volatile organics shall not be held following extraction; their analysis must take place immediately after extraction. Volatile organics are to be analyzed by the low-level method unless the concentration criteria listed for medium- or high-concentration analysis in the requested method are met.

• Holding time ends when the analysis, resulting in reported data, has been initiated (i.e., semi- volatile gas chromatography / mass spectrometry gas chromatography / mass spectrometry [GC/MS] extract is injected into the last instrumentation). If the final reported data results from a dilution or re-injection of the sample, this analysis must be completed within the holding time.

5.5 Radiochemistry Limits The minimum requirement for radiochemistry analysis shall be followed in accordance with this RFP, the DOD/DOE QSM, the Laboratory Quality Assurance Plan and applicable procedures.

21

5.6 Sample Preparation Samples shall be prepared for analysis according to the Laboratory Quality Assurance Plan and applicable approved procedures / methods. All sample preparation shall be documented and FBP approved. The Contractor shall prepare all samples for analyses.

5.7 Sample Reruns

FBP may occasionally require that a reported result be confirmed. In such cases the Contractor shall initiate the following actions:

a) Verify, as being correct, all calculations and values of instrument background, recoveries, interferences, etc.

b) If the results are verified to be correct, the FBP APM shall determine if step c through e shall be initiated.

c) The sample shall be recounted on a detector whose background was measured just prior to the recount for a time interval equal to or greater than the original counting time.

d) If the recount confirms the original value within two standard deviations, then another aliquot of the original sample shall be analyzed and reported.

e) If the original sample result is verified by the duplicate analysis, then the FBP APM shall be notified by email and telephone within one working day. FBP shall determine if additional samples are to be collected and analyzed.

Note: If recounting and reanalysis confirms the original sample result, FBP shall be charged for this additional sample. However, if the original result was incorrect because of Contractor error, FBP shall not be charged for the recounting and reanalysis.

5.8 Dilution The Contractor shall dilute a sample and repeat (rerun) the analysis for the analyte when an analyte is off scale or exceeds the calibration limit of linearity. The dilution factor shall be chose to give a response for the off-scale analyte of 50 to 100% of full scale. Only results of acceptable quality, according to method criteria, shall be reported along with the results from the original run. If a sample contains multiple off-scale analytes or is still off scale after dilution, the FBP APM shall be contacted for guidance.

5.9 Method Blank The method blank is required to be prepared and analyzed with frequency and performance criteria consistent with the respective method.

5.10 Initial Calibration Initial calibration, as defined in this SOW, includes calibrating the appropriate system, if applicable. Initial calibration frequency and performance criteria are required to be consistent with the respective method (SOP).

22

5.11 Calibration Verification Calibration verification, as defined in this SOW, includes verifying that performance indicators are within acceptable quality control limits. Calibration verification frequency and performance indicators shall meet established quality control limits. Calibration verification frequency and performance criteria are required to be consistent with the respective method (SOP).

5.12 Expedited Analyses a) The Contractor shall have the ability to handle expedited analyses (rush service). Only those

samples specifically marked and accompanied by a written request from FBP’s designee for rush services shall be treated as rush samples. Such notice will state the number of samples required, types of analyses, and the required turnaround time.

b) FBP may desire to “rush” samples already in the Contractor’s possession. In these cases FBP’s APM will fax or e-mail a request stating the number of samples required, types of analyses, and the new required turnaround time. If the Contractor can accept the expedited turnaround request, the FBP APM will send a Tracker SOW change order for acceptance by the Contractor.

c) Rush request samples shall be completed and the complete data package (in the specified data format, as identified in the request for analyses) reported before the rush service period expires, if the analytical method can be completed within the requested rush period. Rush service shall be required to be available for the following periods:

21 calendar day rush service [shall include the required electronic data deliverable (EDD)] 14 calendar day rush service (shall include the required EDD) 7 calendar day rush service (shall include the required EDD) 3 calendar day rush service (shall include the required EDD) 48 hour rush service (Required EDD shall follow within 7 calendar days) 24 hour rush service (Required EDD shall follow within 7 calendar days)

d) If the Contractor receives any sample that has exceeded or will exceed EPA holding times

(excluding pH and 48-hour or less holding times) before the analysis is initiated (preparation and/or analysis), the Contractor shall immediately stop all work with that sample and contact the FBP APM for alternate instructions for proceeding with analysis. However, under no circumstance shall the laboratory cancel an analysis because the holding times could or will be missed unless the lab has received hardcopy approval from the FBP SMO to cancel.

e) Any sample with a holding time of 48-hour or less shall be delivered to the Contractor’s OSC

on the same day. All other samples will be delivered to the OSC as early as practicable.

23

Adherence to protocol shall be performed with the intent of legally demonstrating that custody remained intact and that tampering or substitutions were precluded.

9.0 BASIS OF PAYMENT TO CONTRACTOR

9.1 Routine Analytical Services All costs shall be recovered per fixed unit rates/prices identified for each matrix-proponent- method in the analytical prices schedule as per FBP/DOE’s acceptance pursuant to Contractor’s response to the RFP and subsequent negotiations. Line item code pricing or any other unit price submitted by the Contractor shall address all tasks and materials described herein, and shall include all taxes and duties of any kind, which either party is expected to pay with respect to the sale of goods or performance of work covered by this RFP. The Contractor shall assume no minimum batch size when preparing unit prices.

Fixed unit rates/prices are intended to reflect all costs typically incurred by a standalone private sector operation, such as

26

• Those items described in section 1.6 of this document • Financial assurance – Funding set aside to address outstanding items in the event of lab closure • –Mobilization, demobilization and infrastructure costs for setup and removal (in event of lab

closure) of the laboratory facility and day-to-day operation of the on-site laboratory • Documentation - Policies, procedure/methods, plans and so forth • Meetings or other required interface with FBP, DOE or other stakeholders to assure compliant,

robust laboratory support services, not limited to transportation, housing, meals or otherwise • Supplies • Internal cost to support of one (1) DOECAP audit (continuing qualification) per year,

Fixed unit rates/prices do not include cost for the following items

• For annual DOECAP audit or other audit to satisfy non-compliance issues, DOE’s audit team and costs associated with said team

9.2 Reduced Payments (for Routine Analytical Services) FBP applies missed turnaround time penalties on the basis of two (2) percent per day, up to a maximum of 25 days. FBP shall apply invoice penalties for missed turnaround time prior to invoice adjustments.

For payment of items requested on an expedited turnaround time but were reported late, payment will be made based on the standard 28-d fixed unit rate and penalties will be assessed (2% per day) for each day reported past the original expedited turnaround time.

Provided the Contractor submits a request for extension in turn time that meets the following criteria and is submitted three (3) days before data are due, an extension in turnaround time may be granted solely at the discretion of the FBP APM assigned to the ASOW. Such request for extension of performance must be presented to FBP in writing (e.g., email, PDF), and must justify the reason for extension. Unless otherwise requested by the laboratory and subsequently approved by FBP, the only justifiable reasons for extension are as follows.

• Sudden, major weather-related impacts such as hurricanes, flooding, or tornadoes; • Sudden failure of electrical power; • Sudden failure of instrumentation • Unexpected absence of key personnel; or significant matrix interferences beyond expectations

which may adversely affect the resultant quality control unless alternative chemistries are investigated.

• All requests for extensions must be submitted directly to the FBP APM, not to an FBP internal client.

• Extension in period of performance shall be verified by the laboratory only by receipt of hardcopy correspondence (email) from FBP.

Contingent upon timely sample receipt, the laboratory will not be compensated for samples analyzed outside of regulatory holding time. Further, if the project has to re-sample due to laboratory error, the FBP retains discretion to collect actual resample costs from the Contractor.
