REQUESTED MOTION:
Approve the Contract Amendment No. 1 with Sanders Laboratories, Incorporated, for Water and Wastewater Quality Sampling and Laboratory Testing Services.
SUMMARY:
Staff is requesting approval of the Contract Amendment with Sanders Laboratories, Incorporated, for Water and Wastewater Quality Sampling and Laboratory Testing Services.
BACKGROUND:
The Board approved the original Agreement with Sanders Laboratories, Incorporated, on November 16, 2023, for professional and technical services related to water and wastewater quality sampling and laboratory testing. The Agreement provided for an initial two-year term with three optional one-year renewals upon mutual agreement of both parties. For the upcoming renewal, Sanders Laboratories requested a five-percent (5%) price increase to offset rising costs for consumables, shipping, and labor. The Utilities and Purchasing Departments reviewed and found the request reasonable. The Contract Amendment exercises the first one-year renewal option, extending the Agreement through November 15, 2026, and updates the fee schedule as Exhibit “A.”
