Contract value

$1,500,000

The solicitation does not disclose a contract value. Typical rates for comprehensive wastewater and sludge testing (including bioassay, organics, inorganics, and microbiology) range from $150 to $300 per sample, depending on analyte complexity. Assuming MDC processes roughly 3,000 samples per year (a modest estimate for a regional water authority) at an average $200 per sample, annual spend would be about $600,000. Over a three‑year term, the total contract value approximates $1.8 million. Accounting for potential volume discounts and administrative overhead, a reasonable ball‑park estimate is $1.2 million to $1.8 million; I will use the midpoint for reporting.
