and authorize the City Manager and
n amendment to the agreement with
for domestic water quality testing
of $147,370.
The California Department of Health Services, in accordance with Title 22
of the California Code of Regulations, enforces the primary and secondary
drinking water standards for public water systems. Compliance with these
standards requires laboratory testing of the City's water system by a
state-approved laboratory.
Clinical Laboratory of San Bernardino currently provides contract
domestic water quality testing services to the City. They were selected
as the top rated firm during a 2003 selection process from among four
firms and were awarded a bi-annual contract for $147,370 with a second
term extension for an additional $147,370.
Clinical Laboratory has provided exceptional service throughout the term
of the contract. They provide accurate lab testing of the City's water
supply and have assisted the City in meeting all required State and
Federal drinking water regulations. They respond to routine and special
requests for sampling in a timely manner.
Clinical Laboratory has agreed to continue to provide water quality
testing services at the current contract prices. Based upon the
excellent service provided, staff recommends that the current agreement
with Clinical Laboratory be amended for an additional bi-annual term.
The bi-annual not to exceed amount for the term extension would remain at
$147,370. All current contract terms and conditions would remain
unchanged.
