Procurement of parts and consumables for the XRF Scientific Leonardo G6 instrument on a recurring, as-needed basis.
Recent board meeting, budget, plan, and contract evidence, connected to the buyer and relevant decision-makers.
- The JPA must replace its discontinued Lachat Quickchem instrument before manufacturer support ends in 2026, as replacement parts and proprietary consumables are no longer available. - Staff selected the Metrohm 930 Compact IC Flex and SEAL-SFA AA500 instruments to meet regulatory and operational water quality testing requirements. - The Board is asked to approve a waiver of competitive bidding and issue sole-source purchase orders totaling $152,895, plus 5% contingency, to Metrohm USA and SEAL Analytical. - The new instruments will support a state-certified laboratory's 49 routine monitoring requirements, with avoided contract lab costs…
- Board members discussed needing to increase lab fees by about half a million dollars to fund more personnel and the larger new lab facility. - The lab director reported all testing operations now run in the new facility, but three autoclaves are being troubleshot, with a technician arriving Monday. - The lab plans to decommission at least two old autoclaves and the old incinerator to save on inspections and permits once new equipment is reliable. - The board asked for a lab fee structure analysis within the next year to shift funding away from per capita fees and toward other income streams.
