Statement of Understanding and Approach
Riverside Public Utilities (RU) provides safe, reliable, high-quality water service to more than 300,000 customers within the boundary of the City of Riverside. The water supply is primarily groundwater from the Bunker Hill & Riverside basins. Groundwater is also supplemented with purchased State Project Water and Groundwater that is under the direct influence of surface water (GWUDI). The Bunker Hill basin includes several contaminant plumes and a portion of the basin is also designated a Federal Superfund clean-up site. RPU staff undertakes a tremendous set of responsibilities, including sample collection, groundwater treatment plant operations, distribution system operation & maintenance, management of supply blending and compliance reporting to meet Federal and State regulatory requirements.
In consideration of this present circumstance, Eurofins proposes the following approach to a successful new laboratory services contract:
1. Be in close proximity to RPU facilities - We will be opening a Service Center less than 5 miles away from RU's facility, offering the convenience of same-day response to supply deliveries and sample pick-ups (or drop off at our facility). Having a service center close to RPU is a clear advantage resulting in less time away from core responsibilities, faster response to requests and decreasing costs for scheduled and unanticipated sampling events.
2. Commit to efficiency and ongoing communication and dialogue with RPU staff - Your Project Manager understands that our day drives daily operational and compliance decisions you make and so we have established systems and staff available to communicate multiple times in the day to ensure RPU is informed concerning the water quality results we produce.
3. Maintain a sufficient capacity- We have extensive sample capacity, with at least 2 instruments and 2 staff members assigned to every major analytical method, which affords us the resources necessary to generate results quickly, on weekends or holidays. As an added contingency, Eurofins can also rely upon our second laboratory, which is also TNI, ELAP, ISO, and UCMR accredited for drinking water analysis.
4. Take measures to ensure consistent reliability - Eurofins QA/QC Program employs high standards for quality in data and also in information system reliability to ensure that the data you receive best reflects the state of your water quality and is centralized within your WaterTrax database.
5. User-Friendly Data - We know that data is vital to the success of operations. Staff can seamlessly access all of RU's reports via our new TALS LIMs, enabling faster turnaround times to analyze and interpret data into real, actionable insights. Another critical aspect that Eurofins is committed to providing is reliable on-time delivery of reports to meet RPU's compliance requirements.
Eurofins remains committed to RPU and is confident we are the best option for supporting your water quality program needs in the future.

Laboratory Technical Advisory Committee (ELTAC) to finalize quality standards for a new TNI- based program that is currently being implemented statewide.
Eurofins is also a TNI-accredited laboratory, hence our involvement and assistance to ELTAC and ELAP with integrating the 2016 TNI standards into the new State accreditation program. Of course, Eurofins already meets these anticipated new State standards. More than 90% of California laboratories do not qualify for TNI accreditation at the present time.
Eurofins is ISO-accredited as well, according to the latest ISO quality standard (17025). As an ISO laboratory, Eurofins has established and maintains standard operating procedures for ethics, data integrity, health & safety, staff training & management, facilities integrity and the like. Less than 5% of California laboratories are ISO-accredited.
Finally, Eurofins is EPA-approved to perform testing both the Unregulated Contaminants Monitoring Rule UCMR5 and the Long-Term 2 (LT2) Enhanced Water Treatment Rule. Both of these accreditations require extensive and ongoing documentation of instrumentation, staff qualifications & experience and quality-specific project plans to support both regulatory program.
Eurofins is presently EPA-approved for all UCMR methods and all LT2 methods. No other California laboratory can claim such certification status and coverage.
Our extensive list of Federal and State accreditations reflects our commitment to quality, above and beyond the minimum requirements. Theses extensive accreditations and approvals also subject Eurofins to frequent on-site audits, blind proficiency testing and quality documentation through the year, in contrast to most laboratories that are audited or evaluated by the same regulatory agency every two or three years.
A final component of our comprehensive Certification program is our long-term, excellent performance on external Proficiency Test (PT) studies, QC checks, and research studies.
Eurofins has scored more than 98% correct on EPA Water Supply PTs for over 15 years running.
In addition to 3d party PTs, we also use an internal blind performance evaluation sample program to monitor problems and to verify proficiency of all analysts.
Copies of our laboratory certifications, UCMR Lab Approvals and our last Water Supply PTs are included with this proposal submission.
Reliability and Responsiveness
Eurofins maintains a high degree of reliability and responsiveness through its Quality Assurance Program (QAP), which is modeled after the EPA Lab Certification Manual for Drinking Water Laboratories and ISO 17025. Our program follows a logical work sequence and employs a number of criteria to reflect our commitment to generating high quality, legally defensible analytical data in user-friendly formats. The QAP reflects our overall philosophy which is to ensure accurate legally and scientifically defensible data for our customers. The QAP is on its 45th revision and is reviewed at least annually to ensure that it reflects current laboratory protocols.
Eurofins Eaton Analytical

The Eurofins QAP reflects the following policies to assure quality accuracy, precision and timeliness:
• Formalized, validated analytical and operational standard operating procedures (SOPs).
Annual demonstrations of capability and method detection limits for all compliance tests.
Ongoing checks to ensure the use of current and acceptance standards. • Use of minimum reporting levels that are at or above the lowest calibration standard and also above the method detection limit to help foster a high degree of data accuracy. • Strict adherence to chain of custody procedures and sample documentation. • Calibration levels that are established at or below federal triggers for increased monitoring. • Multiple data reviews at the peer, supervisor, independent QA validator and project management levels.
• Use of sophisticated queries for data storage, retrieval, interpretation, control charting and early warning of preliminary results inconsistent with sample history or exceeding regulatory thresholds.
• Data mining and query by location, date or constituent for clients from our LIMS. • Pre-qualified subcontract laboratories for subcontracted analyses + contingency for tests performed in-house.
• Evaluations of client preliminary data in the context of historical trends to enable us to alert our lab supervisors or customers proactively concerning data concerns.
To support our QA policies, Eurofins has also established a Code of Bihics Annual Training
comprehensive Ethics and Data Integrity Program. The program & Laboratory Data Integrity Plan
contains all of the features outlined in the current 2009 NELAC Standards, included in the following: YELIC StaNdon 2002→ Enruthe Dor-020172005 • Annual Staff Training and testing concerning ethical standards and practices. • An Open Door policy to support and encourage reporting of violations to the program or policies.
• Investigation and Corrective Action plan including root causes and resolution to eliminate deviation from the program.
People are Eurofins' most valuable asset - their safety and health our greatest responsibility. It is, therefore, the goal of our firm that every employee be provided a safe and healthful work environment. Laboratory operations differ from industrial operations in their use and handling of hazardous chemicals. Laboratories usually handle large numbers of hazardous chemicals in relatively small amounts. Laboratory work is also generally done by or under the supervision of highly trained personnel. OSHA has recognized the uniqueness of laboratory operations and promulgated a standard that regulates the occupational exposure to hazardous chemicals in laboratories. In consideration of the OSHA standards, Eurofins has established a comprehensive Chemical Hygiene Plan (CHP) to outline safe working conditions for its employees. It is our desire and intention to provide a safe workplace, safe equipment, proper materials, and to Eurofins Eaton Analytical

establish safe methods and practices at all times. Our CHP meets this goal and is reviewed and updated annually to maintain its relevance for our organization.
To further our responsiveness to RPU, Eurofins has established a comprehensive Emergency Action Plan (EAP) detailing what we do in the event of a natural or man-made emergency. Our EAP complies with OSHA Standard 29 FR 1910.38.
The procedures describe the emergency alert system, evacuation procedures, response to severe weather conditions, and response to chemical and biological spills. All laboratory personnel are required to participate as requested in emergency response training to help them to respond safely in the event of an emergency. Key EPA features include:
• Incorporation of current OSHA and other regulatory requirements into the manual (evaluated/updated annually)
• Designation of staff required to remain operating key laboratory functions in the event of an emergency
• Annual training of all staff to ensure procedures are followed To further ensure responsiveness to RPU, Eurofins has established the following mechanisms which establish our availability in support of your mission to serve drinkable water and keep customers informed concerning water quality 24 hours a day, 7 days a week:
Monrovia Laboratory is open on weekends and holidays
•Inland Empire Service Center will be open Monday - Friday from 8:00 am - 4:00 pm, ensuring quickest sample receiving and pickup of sample containers • Project Manager (Neely Davis) available by phone or e-mail 24-7 • Project Manager Contingency (Rachelle Arada) available to step in when Project Manager is unavailable
• Microbiology & Chemistry notification contacts (primary & contingency) to ensure a person picks up on our end
Laboratory facility located outside of California and available to provide analytical contingency for all methods
Finally, to facilitate rapid sharing of water quality data with RPU, Eurofins implements a data capture utility (DCU) to transfer data directly from instrument to LIMS and forward these "preliminary" results for certain critical constituents as soon as they are available. We employ a rigorous data reduction/validation process to present defensible values on final reports with qualifiers (as needed) within the contractual turnaround time we're committing to.

Our Inland Empire Service Center will be the closest and most convenient location for your staff to obtain sampling supplies and deliver samples for analysis. The laboratory is located in Monrovia, CA, which is approximately 45 miles from our service center. Samples will be couriered from the service center to the laboratory twice a day, affording us the same-day delivery once samples are received, meeting short holding times and quick TAT.
Eurofins inspects all samples upon receipt. We contact RPU immediately whenever samples are received with breakage, leakage, inverted septa or air bubbles (for Volatile samples), incorrect containers, wrong preservatives, missing container labels, incomplete paperwork or excessive temperature. Each cooler temperature is measured and recorded on the sample custody form.
Tracking numbers are then assigned to each sample and scheduled for analysis. Analytical Departments are notified to retrieve any samples with short holding times or samples requiring rush turnaround times so processing can commence immediately. Remaining samples are stored at 4°C in walk-in refrigerators. Temperatures in all cold storage areas are measured twice each 11 Eurofins Eaton Analytical

day to ensure required temperature is maintained (TNI standard 5.5.3). Volatiles samples are segregated in separate refrigerators to prevent cross-contamination.
Sample containers for all analyses except certain
microbiological methods are purchased in batches, pre-
cleaned by each vendor according to EPA guidelines. Every batch is associated with a lot number, identified on each container and tracked to trace any contamination that might originate with the vendor. All Volatiles and Metals lots are tested additionally at Eurofins to verify the absence of contamination. When required by the method, containers are preserved by according to CFR 136- 149 and the Manual for the Certification of Laboratories (5'h edition). Only reagent grade (or HPLC-grade) water and preservatives are used. Pre-labeled containers are included with ice packs, packaging material, customized custody form and kit inventory for every entry point, plant effluent and set of source and/or distribution system sample sites. Foam inserts and color coded caps are used to provide a user-friendly mechanism to complete these complex sampling requirements. The pre-labeling of containers eliminates unnecessary time spent in the field documenting sample site information. Sample Kits can be delivered all at once each month, on a weekly basis or as requested by the customer.
Level I chain of custody is adhered to while your samples are in our possession. Eurofins is a secured building, with pass key access and locked refrigerators. Custody documentation is maintained on the Custody Form, on Run Logs and/or Bar Codes to indicate where the samples are located at all times. Samples are disposed of after 30 days when holding times expire or according to other requirements as requested by our clients.
