HEARING:
SUBJECT: (ALL) Authorize Execution of Non -Exclusive Agreements with A&B Environmental
Services, Inc. dba A&B Laboratories, ALS Group USA Corp, Eurofins Environment Testing
South Central, LLC, and Southern Petroleum Laboratories, Inc to Provide Laboratory
Analytical Services at Testing Facilities for the Water Department in an Estimated
Combined Annual Amount Up to $600,000.00 for the Initial Term and Authorize Four One -
Year Renewals in Amounts Up to $690,000.00 for the First Renewal, $793,500.00 for the
Second Renewal, $912,525.00 for the Third Renewal, and $1,049,403.00 for the Fourth
Renewal
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council authorize the execution of non-exclusive agreements with
A&B Environmental Services, Inc. dba A&B Laboratories, Inc., ALS Group USA Corp, Eurofins
Environment Testing South Central, LLC, and Southern Petroleum Laboratories, Inc to provide
laboratory analytical services at testing facilities for the Water Department in an estimated
combined annual amount up to $600,000.00 for the initial term and authorize four one-year renewals
in amounts up to $690,000.00 for the first renewal, $793,500.00 for the second renewal, $912,525.00
for the third renewal, and $1,049,403.00 for the fourth renewal.
DISCUSSION:
The purpose of this M&C is to authorize the execution of agreements to provide laboratory analytical
services at testing facilities throughout the City of Fort Worth water treatment plants. Purchasing
issued Request for Proposal (RFP) 24-0198 consisting of detailed specifications regarding equipment,
service, and delivery requirements. The RFP was advertised in the Fort Worth Star -Telegram on May
8, 2024, May 15, 2024, and May 22, 2024. The City received four responses.
An evaluation panel consisting of representatives from the Water and Police Departments reviewed
and scored the submittal using Best Value criteria. The individual scores were averaged for each of
the criteria and the final scores are listed in the table below.

Eurofins Environment Testing 32.27 16 15 1578.27
SPL Laboratories 24.65 15.5 15.5 1570.65
Best Value Criteria:
a. Contractor's cost of services
b. Contractor's qualifications and availability of testing facilities
c. Contractor's timeframe for services to be completed
d. Contractor's ability to meet the City's needs
After evaluation, the panel concluded a multi -award was necessary to ensure availability and capacity
for the needed services and that A&B Environmental Services Inc. dba A&B Laboratories, ALS
Laboratory Group, Eurofins Environment Testing South Central, LLC, and Southern
Petroleum Laboratories present the best value. Therefore, the panel recommends that Council
authorize non-exclusive agreements with A&B Environmental Services dba A&B Laboratories, ALS
Laboratory Group, Eurofins Environment Testing South Central, LLC, and Southern
Petroleum Laboratories. No guarantee was made that a specific amount of services would be
purchased. Staff certifies that the recommended vendors' bids met specifications.
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) final rule mandates increase in testing for public water
systems and exact testing levels cannot be ascertained in advanced. To help prevent capacity issues,
staff recommends the total compensation for each annual renewal term be increased by 15 \% to
ensure the City is able to meet demand. The estimated collective total compensation of the contracts
shall be an amount up to $600,000.00 for the initial term, $690,000.00 for the first renewal,
$793,500.00 for the second renewal, $912,525.00 for the third renewal, and $1,049,403.00 for the
fourth renewal. However, it is possible that testing requirements may exceed these amounts. Approval
of this M&C in the initial amounts listed above is not intended to create a contractual cap; in the event
testing requirements exceed the capacity authorized through this M&C, including any administrative
increase capacity, this M&C authorizes staff to bring back subsequent M&Cs in the amounts needed to
meet testing demand.
While these figures represent the collective maximum amount allowed under these agreements for
each term, the actual amount used will be based on the department's needs and available
budget. Funding is budgeted in the Contract -Lab Analysis account within the Water & Sewer Fund for
the Water Department.
DVIN-BE: This solicitation was reviewed by The Business Equity Division for available business equity
prospects according to the City's Business Equity Ordinance. There were limited business equity
opportunities available for the services/goods requested, therefore, no business equity goal was
established.
AGREEMENT TERMS: Upon City Council approval, the agreements will begin upon execution on
October 1, 2024 and expire one year from that date on September 30, 2025.
RENEWAL TERMS: The agreements may be renewed for four (4) additional, one-year terms. This
action does not require specific City Council approval provided that the City Council has appropriated
sufficient funds to satisfy the City's obligations during the renewal term.
ADMINISTRATIVE CHANGE ORDER: An administrative change order or increase may be made by
the City Manager up to the amount allowed by relevant law and the Fort Worth City Code and does not
require specific City Council approval as long as sufficient funds have been appropriated.
FISCAL INFORMATION/CERTIFICATION:
The Director of Finance certifies that upon approval of the above recommendation, funds are available
in the current operating budget in the Water & Sewer Fund. Prior to an expenditure being incurred, the
Water Department has the responsibility to validate the availability of funds.
