We understand that the hallmark of a great laboratory is the ability to deliver results on time, every time. To that end, BSK uses on-time delivery as one of our primary business metrics in gauging our performance.
It is a topic discussed at all management meetings, it is a question asked in our annual client survey and it is a metric displayed for all staff to see throughout our laboratory facilities.
BSK sets internal milestones for all turnaround schedules and each department has an on-time delivery goal for the year. Our project management group is included in the metrics and has set standards for on- time delivery of reports to our clients. We strive to provide our clients with reliable and defensible data, on time, every time.
Our Ethical Standards
For all the importance placed on delivering results on time to clients, BSK's staff understands this goal does not come at the cost of quality in the laboratory setting. The work we perform ensures the preservation of our environment and the protection of human health. There is no substitute for quality and ethical decision making. BSK's staff is trained to make the correct choices where data quality is concerned. These choices are discussed at our annual ethics training and all staff attest to following these guidelines when they sign our Ethics and Data Integrity Agreement. In this agreement, BSK's staff asserts our commitment to ethical laboratory practices and agrees to be intolerant of anyone who chooses otherwise. Ethical behavior, above all, is our greatest value and the basis for all work we perform.
Project Management - BSK's Approach to Service an Success BSK Labs' customers vary considerably in size and complexity. We take great care in providing each client with Great Service, Simplified. Our approach to successful analytical testing begins with providing a consistent dedicated project manager to each project.

Once the contract has been awarded and paperwork signed, your BSK Project Manager (Elaine Phillps) will arrange for a meeting with the appropriate City of Barstow and Barstow MCLB staff to go over project requirements. Topics of
discussion will include: Primary contact information
(including email addresses, phone numbers, etc.), reporting BSK option details, monitoring schedules, location identification details, bottle delivery, web access, etc. Upon completion, electronic accounts will be set up to access your reports via BSK's Web Portal.
Sample Handling
BSK will provide sample containers, travel blanks, coolers, and cool packs for the purpose of sample collection and transfer. Sample containers will be clean, prepared with the proper preservatives, and ready for sample collection.
Sample transport and handling are included in the pricing provided.
BSK's sample containers are purchased pre-cleaned
according to EPA guidelines. All batches are
associated with a lot number identifiable on the
container. Lot numbers are tracked in the event any
contamination originates with the vendor. All lots
are tested to verify the absence of contamination.
If required (based on the analytical method),
containers are preserved according to Standard
Methods for the Examination of Water and
BS CAUTION
Wastewater. Reagent grade (or better)
preservatives are always utilized. To assist City
personnel with simplifying the sampling process,
all BSK sample bottles are color coded based on the
preservative found in the container. For example,
all BSK Nitric preserved bottles are coded with red
labels and red caps (see picture to the right).

Sample Transport
BSK will supply all materials for collection and handling of samples at no additional charge. Prior to delivery of sample containers and coolers, BSK will pre-login all samples based on information provided at the new project kick off meeting. Projects will be based on sample location and frequency and will correspond with our eCOC system. Once set up, the system will work to save the City and the lab time going forward.
Once eCOCs are put into place, it is possible for City personnel to use a tablet or smartphone in the field to enter dates and times of samples being taken and submit the eCOC electronically to the lab (note:
eCOCs must still be signed with a "wet" signature). The City will also be able to print out labels from the eCOC system to attach to their sample bottles.
BSK will transport all samples directly to BSK's
laboratory located at 350 E. Commercial Road, Ste. 110
in San Bernardino for processing.
For the industrial waste sites within the City of Barstow, a 24-hour composite sampler and technician will be
provided at the rates indicated in the pricing section of this proposal.
Sample Receipt at the Laboratory
Once received at the laboratory in San Bernardino, login staff will inspect all samples for integrity before logging them into our LIMS. BSK utilizes a Sample Integrity Form to go over all elements of the sample as it was received, such as:
Are samples in the proper temperature range, (cooler temperatures are taken and noted on the chain of custody form)?
• Are all bottles unbroken and intact?
• Do all bottle labels agree with the Chain of Custody? • Were correct containers and preservatives received for the tests requested? • Were there bubbles in the VOA vials?
• Do samples have a hold time of less than 72 hours?
• Was PM notified of discrepancies so that they could contact the client? Environmental, Geotechnical, Construction Services, Analytical Testing - An Employee-Owned Company ESK
ASSOCIÂTES
The City will be contacted if any problems are detected with the samples immediately.
All samples requiring non-short hold-time chemical analysis will be packaged for overnight delivery to our Fresno lab. The volume of samples shipped is a refined process with virtually no problems encountered due to frequent communication with all parties involved.
Once samples arrive at our Fresno facility they are received and undergo a tertiary peer review. For those requiring rush turnaround, the appropriate analytical department is notified so that testing can begin immediately. As in the past, Elaine Phillips will be responsible for all analytical requirements, project management and communication with the City/MCLB should any anomalies occur.
All samples are stored at 4 degrees C. per TNI 5.5.3. Temperatures are measured twice per day to ensure this temperature is maintained. Volatiles samples are separated into segregated refrigerators to prevent cross-contamination.
BSK will store samples, (at no additional cost) for a minimum of thirty (30) days after the postmarked date of the final analytical results report. Samples are subject to chain of custody procedures until final disposal.
Analysis of Samples
All hold times begin at the time of sample collection (as noted on the chain of custody form). Analysis of samples will be performed only by qualified staff in accordance with approved analytical methods. BSK will provide immediate notification of any quality assurance/quality control failures.
Equipment and Instrumentation
All analyses will be performed on state-of-the-art equipment and instrumentation. A detailed list of BSK's equipment and instrumentation is available upon request.
Preparation and Submittal of Reports
Reports will be prepared and delivered to the City/MCLB electronically via email on a routine turnaround basis within fourteen (14) days after sample receipt at the lab. All reports will be delivered to City/MCLB designated personnel, (list will be provided by City upon contract approval). BSK will notify the City/MCLB if unable to meet the turnaround times provided in the proposal. An estimated time of completion will be provided at that time. BSK will comply with all applicable SWRCB requirements and time limits for reporting analytical results for completed analyses. Reports will show each constituent analyzed and the corresponding detection limit for reporting or a minimum reporting level.
Invoicing
BSK will invoice monthly (to the applicable department) the individual testing costs associated with each sampling event. All fees will be itemized for each test procedure conducted. Prices quoted to the City/MCLB will remain firm, even if the number of samples brought to the laboratory for analysis does not meet or exceeds what the City/MCLB estimated.

BSK's Quality Assurance Program
BSK will perform all QA/QC work required for this project. Our Quality Assurance Program is based on the revised 2009 TNI standard as part of its NELAC renewal through the State of Oregon. BSK's laboratories are certified under both NELAC and CA ELAP. Certifications are maintained for the States of California, Hawaii, Nevada, Oregon, and Washington. For our California clients the laboratory is approved by the State Water Resources Control Board Division of Drinking Water. All drinking water analyses will be made in accordance with EPA approved methods as prescribed by the Code of Federal Regulations.
The Quality Assurance System utilized at BSK's laboratories is administered by our Quality Assurance Manager, Mr. Michael Ng, who is located at our Fresno laboratory in accordance with the NELAC standard.
Multiple Technical Directors are identified in our Quality Assurance Manual to ensure adequate expertise for the extensive range of services offered. Ms. Elizabeth Bunger is the Laboratory Satellite Laboratory Director for the San Bernadino, CA, Rancho Cordova, CA and Vancouver, WA locations. Ms. Belinda Vega, Chief Operations Officer, Laboratory Division oversees the operations at San Bernardino and Vancouver in addition to the overall lab operation.
As part of its' NELAC accreditation, BSK maintains an Ethics and Data Integrity program which includes annual training for all staff members as well as an annual renewal of the Ethics and Data Integrity Agreement. This program is applicable to all BSK lab locations. BSK policies and procedures are in place to monitor and detect inappropriate laboratory practices.
All laboratory data undergoes multiple levels of review prior to delivery to the client. BSK uses a three- tier review process that entails review by the analyst, by the supervisor or designated peer reviewer, and then by the project manager assigned to the client submitting the samples for analysis. BSK only releases data after the tertiary review. At that time, a report is issued to the client and the data is available for review on our web interface. Any changes to laboratory reports require a formal amendment process which is administered by our Quality Assurance Department. All amended reports are reissued with the designation of "Amended" included on the report.
BSK performs quality control measures based on the requirements of the certified analytical methods and, by default, includes these measures with all sample reports. Standard quality control measures include but are not limited to method blanks, laboratory control spikes, matrix spikes and sample duplicates. BSK will perform the QC samples specified in each analytical method requested by The City of Barstow. All QC data will be provided at no cost to the City and all underlying raw data is available upon request.
Should the City have concerns on a data point, BSK will immediately investigate with a written inquiry update or completed finding within 48 hours of the initial inquiry. Should the City be unsatisfied with the finding, the sample will be immediately re-analyzed (if the sample is still within hold time) at an expedited turnaround time (at no additional cost). A copy of BSK's Quality Assurance Manual is enclosed with our response.
BSK will notify the City of Barstow/MCLB if any changes occur to its certification and submit copies of any revised or renewed certifications required to perform these methods in accordance with this Informal Bid.

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.
