The Receiving Agency: Texas Water Quality Board
The Performing Agency: Corpus Christi - Nueces County Health Dept. .
II. STATEMENT OF SERVICES TO BE PERFORMED:
PREAMBLE
The Texas Water Quality Act of 1967 as amended states that "it is...
the policy of the State of Texas to maintain the quality of the waters
in the State consistent with the public health and enjoyment, the
propagation and protection of terrestrial and aquatic life, the
operation of existing industries and the economic development of the
State... and to require the use of all reasonable methods to implement
this policy."
A. PERFORMANCE OF SERVICES
In keeping with the foregoing, the receiving agency employs the
performing agency and the performing agency agrees to perform
analytical services on the parameters listed in the attached
schedule sheet.
The Texas Water Quality Board estimates an average of 100 samples
per month will be collected and delivered to the laboratory for
analysis. It is understood that these samples will be properly
collected and preserved in accordance with applicable sections
of A Practical Guide to Water Quality Studies of Streams, Federal
Water Pollution Control Administration publication and Methods
for Chemical Analysis for Water and Wastes, EPA manual, as well
as the latest edition of Standard Methods for the Examination
of Water and Wastewater. A chain of custody procedure shall
be maintained in the field and the laboratory in accordance
with Attachment B. The Texas Water Quality Board will furnish
chain of custody tags.
The Corpus Christi - Nueces County Health Department will perform
all analyses according to the approved procedures set forth in
Standard Methods for the Examination of Water and Wastewater,
current edition or the latest edition of Methods for Chemical
Analysis of Water and Wastes, EPA manual. If a standard method
is not available, the analytical method used should be an
adopted method approved by the Executive Director of the Texas
Water Quality Board. Samples will be analyzed by these methods
on a production basis, to.include appropriate analytical quality
assurance procedures. Records will be kept for documentation
of the performing agency's quality assurance program and copies
will be available to the receiving agency upon request. Unusu-
al interferences and problems will be reported to the Texas
Water Quality Board. Research into specific techniques to
overcome these difficulties will be undertaken when practical
and by mutual agreement. The sample information sheet submitted
with each sample will designate the particular analysis or
analyses to be made of each sample submitted. The laboratories
will be operated in such a manner as to insure the legal suffi-
ciency of the sample handling; analytical and reporting pro-
cedures; and to remedy defects in the procedures should such
be discovered. The various laboratory personnel should be
directed, as required, to appear and testify in enforcement
actions arising from the enforcement of the Texas Water Quality
Act. In such event, travel and per diem expense for such
employees shall be paid by the receiving agency. Travel and
per diem for court appearances hereunder shall be based on
current State laws.
A charge may be made by the performing agency for main-
tenance of quality assurance. This charge will be only for
quality assurance services required by Texas Water Quality
Board to be performed over and above the normal quality
assurance program which the performing agency presently
maintains in its laboratory.
B. TERMINATION
Either party to this contract may terminate the contract by
giving the other party thirty days notice in writing. Upon
delivery of such notice by either party to the other and
before expiration of the thirty -day period, the performing
agency will proceed promptly to cancel all existing orders,
contracts, and obligations which are chargeable to this
contract. As soon as practicable after notice to termination
is given, the performing agency will submit a voucher fbr work
performed under this contract to the date of termination. The
receiving agency will then pay the performing agency for the
work performed less all prior payments. Copies of all com-
pleted or partially completed reports, documents, and studies
prepared under this contract will be delivered by the per-
forming agency to the receiving agency when and if this
contract is terminated prior to the completion of the pre-
scribed work.
