Lab Testing of Wastewater, Stormwater, Surface Water, Biosolids, Soil and Compost Samples

The City of Omaha is soliciting bids from qualified laboratories to perform comprehensive analytical testing on a wide variety of environmental samples, including wastewater, stormwater, surface water, biosolids, soil, and compost. The scope covers both standard parameters (e.g., metals, nutrients, pH, hardness) and specialized EPA method analyses (e.g., VOCs, pesticide/PCB screens, TCLP). Quantities for each test are listed in the bid line items, ranging from a few dozen to several hundred individual analyses. Bidders must provide a bid bond (or acceptable substitute) equal to 5 % of the total bid for contracts ≥ $50,000, submit required certifications (SEB, insurance, employee classification affidavit), and deliver original bid security within seven days of the award. The contract will likely be a multi‑year service agreement for ongoing sample analysis. • Required analyses cover metals, nutrients, organic compounds, microbiological indicators, and physical‑chemical parameters. • Sample volumes: hundreds of water samples (e.g., 442 E. coli tests) and dozens of soil/compost packages. • Mandatory pre‑award documentation: bid bond, SEB disclosure, insurance certificate, employee classification affidavit, performance bond. • Delivery of original bid security to City Clerk, 1819 Farnam St, LC‑1, Omaha, NE 68183. • All‑or‑none bid – bidders must quote on every line item.
