25TDRRSD815 - Laboratory analysis of phytoplankton and zooplankton in support of Provincial ambient lake monitoring programs

AEPA operates the provincial Llentic lakes water quality monitoring program under the umbrella of the legislative and operational directives. This work includes both field collection of water and biological material from lakes and reservoirs across the province and subsequent analysis of samples at contracted analytical laboratories for various parameters. This RFP solicits applications from analytical taxonomy laboratories (service providers) to provide scientifically-credible, phytoplankton and zooplankton identification and enumeration analyses to support AEPA monitoring goals and condition of environment assessments.

This RFP supports the delivery of provincial lake monitoring programs via the establishment of one or more contracts with service providers to deliver the analytical services outlined in Appendix B of the RFP.
