By Resolution No. 17-009 (January 24, 2017), the BOS approved DOT Agreement No. 160098/BOS Agreement No. 17-004, Professional Services Agreement with Alpha Analytical Laboratories, Inc., for Landfill Water and Gas Monitoring Laboratory Testing.

Summary of Request:
In compliance with North Coast Regional Water Quality Control Board’s Waste Discharge Requirement Orders and Industrial General Permit, DOT staff performs required sampling and testing of groundwater, surface water, stormwater, and leachate from the County’s three closed landfills: Caspar, Laytonville, and South Coast. Under the California Environmental Laboratory Improvement Act, samples collected must be analyzed by a professional laboratory certified under the Environmental Laboratory Accreditation Program (ELAP) to meet regulatory requirements. As Alpha Analytical Laboratories, Inc., is the only ELAP certified laboratory in the North Bay Area that performs the required analytical tests, Exception to Bid No. 24-12 was approved on July 21, 2023. The current Agreement for laboratory water testing services is set to expire on December 31, 2023. DOT Agreement No. 230037 provides for the required testing services for the next five years, beginning January 1, 2024, with funding provided from the Landfill Closure Fund. DOT recommends and requests the Board adopt the attached resolution approving the Agreement with Alpha Analytical Laboratories, Inc.
