Compliance with these <br />standards requires laboratory testing of the City's water system by a <br />state-approved laboratory. <br />Clinical Laboratory of San Bernardino currently provides contract <br />domestic water quality testing services to the City. They were selected <br />as the top rated firm during a 2003 selection process from among four <br />firms and were awarded a bi-annual contract for $147,370 with a second <br />term extension for an additional $147,370. <br />Clinical Laboratory has provided exceptional service throughout the term <br />of the contract. They provide accurate lab testing of the City's water <br />supply and have assisted the City in meeting all required State and <br />Federal drinking water regulations. They respond to routine and special <br />requests for sampling in a timely manner. <br />Clinical Laboratory has agreed to continue to provide water quality <br />testing services at the current contract prices. Based upon the <br />excellent service provided, staff recommends that the current agreement <br />with Clinical Laboratory be amended for an additional bi-annual term. <br />The bi-annual not to exceed amount for the term extension would remain at <br />$147,370. All current contract terms and conditions would remain <br />unchanged. <br />25M-1 <br />
