Common use of Sample Analysis Clause in Contracts

Sample Analysis. List and discuss all analysis proposed for the project. Include a table that summarizes the following information for each analysis to be performed: *Analytical Parameters *Analytical Method Reference Number (from EPA SW 846) *Sample Preparation and/or Extraction Method Reference Number (from SW 846) *Detection and Practical Quantitation Limits (Data above the detection limit but below the practical quantitation limit must be reported with the estimated concentration.) Discuss the rationale for selection of the analytical parameters. The rationale must relate to site history and the RFI objectives. The achievable detection limits or quantitation limits stated in the selected methods must be adequate for valid comparisons of analytical results against any action levels or standards. Give an explanation if all samples from the same matrix will not be analyzed for the same parameters. Provide the name(s) of the laboratory(s) that will be doing the analytical work. Indicate any special certifications or ratings of the laboratory. Describe the steps that will be taken to select and pre-qualify analytical laboratories to be used including any previous audits and/or other criteria. If a define laboratory has not yet been selected, list at least 3 laboratories that are being considered for the analytical work.
