Provided Services
Babcock business operations are guided and informed by the quality systems recommended by the International Standards Organization (ISO), the lab standards of The NELAC Institute (TNI), and Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP). The following sections outline our technical approach and methodology used to provide all laboratory services, including those outlined in this informal bid for the City of Barstow.
Quality Assurance / Quality Control
Babcock Laboratories' Quality Assurance Program (QAP) is modeled on the EPA requirements for UCMR, the EPA Lab Certification Manual for Drinking Water Laboratories, lab standards of TNI, and DoD QSM Revision 5.1 or higher.
The program traces the path of samples throughout the lab and the workflow and responsibilities generated at each step from initial sample collection/pickup through final reporting, documentation, and record keeping. The policies and procedures established reflect our commitment to reliably generate accurate, scientifically valid, and legally defensible compliance data. Each employee in our organization is familiar with and responsible for implementation of the quality control policies of the laboratory. Management enforces quality practices throughout all areas of the company and across all staff through training, Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), method and system audits, and root-cause analysis. The QAP is reviewed and updated at least annually and includes the following elements:
• Formalized and validated operational and analytical standard operating procedures • Current and historical records of all instrumentation calibration records and certifications of standards
• Annual demonstrations of accuracy and verification of method detection limits for all compliance analyses
• Formalized and validated procedures for sampling, sample transportation, sample identification, custody, and analytical documentation and reporting • Method specific demonstration of proficiency requirements for each analytical method • Quality control criteria for all laboratory conditions including equipment, instrumentation, method, batch, sample, environmental, reagent, and lab standard conditions • Responsive root-cause documentation, analysis, and corrective actions • Formal process of independent data review at the peer, supervisor, lab manager, and project management levels
• Guidelines for integration with LIMS for statistical and historical evaluation of data on a project specific or aggregate basis
• Description of both internal and external auditing program for methods, analysts, procedures and management, including audit reviews
In addition to the analytical quality assurance program, Babcock Labs also maintains an Ethics and Data Integrity Program which includes all elements outlined in TNI lab standards. The lab is audited both internally and by independent third-parties every year, with an understanding that
4. BABCOCK Laboratories, Inc.
The Scandand of Excelleno for Oner 190 Feare
we can receive quarterly blind QA/QC samples from the City. Babcock Labs' QA manual, instrument calibration records traceable to NIST certified standards will be available to the City upon request.
Field Services & Sample Transportation
Babcock routinely provides all sampling supplies required for analyses at no additional charge.
Accordingly, the City of Barstow will receive all sample vials, bottles, and jars which are new or properly cleaned and tested, preservation where appropriate, and sample labels as requested.
Additionally, Babcock will supply ice chests and blue ice to maintain proper condition during sample transportation. All transportation will be conducted by a Babcock Labs employee and under chain of custody documentation.
At Babcock Laboratories, we have one of the most experienced and highly trained environmental sampling staff in the industry. The Babcock Labs Field Department has nine full- time field technicians and couriers with extensive experience in the proper collection of grab and twenty-four hour composite samples. Our field staff utilize the most up-to-date wastewater collection equipment and techniques. Our technicians received their training under the supervision of a seasoned field operations veteran with Water Distribution Operator and Water Treatment Operator training from AWWA and the State of California. Our Field team is trained on and observes Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) for field safety and sampling based on AWWA protocols, Standard Methods requirements, and industry best practices.
It is pertinent to the service needs of the City that Babcock Labs regularly solicits feedback from our clients regarding their satisfaction with our performance. We have dependably received an A rating in customer service, with particular commendation of our Field team. In fact, our Field team is consistently recognized by our clients as providing excellent value and satisfaction.
Babcock Labs' field sampling services allow for same-day sample collection and laboratory receipt. Upon receipt, the laboratory reviews the COC and verifies that samples meet sample acceptance criteria by performing various tests such as sample temperature, pH, and Chlorine residual. Samples and field data information are then logged into the Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS).
Analysis of Sample
Babcock Labs follows all water testing protocols and regulations set forth by the DWW, Title 22, the EPA, 40 CFR Part 136&261, and the Regional Water Quality Control Board. Laboratory analyses are also conducted in accordance with the quality systems set forth in Babcock Labs' Quality Assurance Program and in compliance with the National Laboratory Accreditation Program (NELAP) and California Environmental Laboratory Accreditation Program (CA ELAP) requirements. Samples are analyzed via approved methods conducted by qualified laboratory chemists and microbiologists, and within regulatory holding times. Supervision of analyses is provided by the Laboratory Department Managers and the Quality Assurance Manager. The Laboratory Director oversees the review of laboratory data-including all quality control data- and data entry into the Babcock Labs LIMS. All City of Barstow samples will be held for 30 days. 5 B

Analytical Reports & Data Deliverables
Babcock Labs provides results within 14 days in Adobe PDF, which contains a copy of the accompanying Chain of Custody. The COC is inserted into the report and is paginated along with the results and any other required documentation. Reports include all sample information requested by the client, including dates of sampling, sample receipt at the lab, condition of receipt, date analyzed, method and analytes, appropriate method QA/QC, Detection and Reporting Limits, results, units, analyst, case narratives, and all other information requested in the client project work plan. These reports, along with any requested Electronic Data Deliverables (EDDs) are sent via email and are available for download from our secure client web portal (Client Connect). If a sample results are above the specified permit limits, the City's dedicated project manager will notify the City's Chief Plant Operator immediately by email and phone upon awareness of exceedance.
Babcock's Labs LIMS currently contains over one hundred commercially available EDD formats, including WaterTrax and those required for upload into the CA State Water Quality Database.
We generate these EDDs on a daily basis for our drinking water clients and upload them directly to both WaterTrax and the California State data base. For wastewater and groundwater reporting we also offer Geotracker and CIWQS formats.
Moreover, Babcock Labs is not limited to the formats contained in the LIMS provider's EDD library. We also maintain a custom EDD builder that can produce EDDs in almost any variety including CSV or other delimited formats (i.e., EDT). These EDDs are flexible in nature, such that we can customize them to meet our client's unique or legacy database, up to and including incorporation of any valid value lists. This assures that the data we provide is consistent with the structure and content of our clients' systems and can therefore be used for comparison to historical records. All EDDs and reports are generated from the exact same record set which prevents mismatches between the results presented in the hardcopy report and EDD.
Client project data and reports are maintained in the Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS). Babcock utilizes a highly flexible software system which is integrated with instrumentation, client relationship management (CRM) in the accounting system, client portal, and cloud-based accounting in NetSuite. Information entered into the LIMS allows for real-time data queries by project, sample location, analytical parameter and/or date range.
Babcock Labs utilizes a highly functional Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS) and the LIMS-associated Client Connect Portal represents one of the more sophisticated implementations of the system.

Labor and Equipment:
The City of Barstow has Seven (5) Significant Industrial Users and the SIUs have their Laboratories. According to the City's Pretreatment requirements, the City must sample annually for specified permit constituents and this should be done discreetly. These sampling events will occur on a known schedule established by the City and unknown to the discharger. This sheet will require the costs per sampler for a 24-hour composite sample. The sampler must be of good quality and have a fresh battery, which must be tested and the voltage logged on the chain of custody both before setup and after removal. The contracted Laboratory will provide all sampling containers for each sampling event.
