Board approves SM&E contracts for landfill monitoring and PFAS assessment totaling about $107,000
Summary
Caswell County approved a semiannual landfill monitoring contract with SM&E at $8,600 per event and a PFAS assessment contract not to exceed $99,110 covering new wells, testing and lab fees; staff said well installation could begin the week of the 20th.
The Caswell County Board of Commissioners approved two SM&E contracts on July 6: a recurring semiannual landfill monitoring contract (flat fee $8,600 twice a year) and a PFAS assessment contract capped at $99,110 that covers installation and certification of new wells, sampling, lab fees, purging and creek sweeps.
Public works staff described the monitoring contract as an existing recurring service that exceeded the manager’s signature threshold only because the vendor’s fees had increased. On the PFAS assessment, staff said, “it is 99,110. Unless we run into any issues, it will not be over that.” The presenter explained that the PFAS sampling is priced out (not a lump sum) and that SM&E could install two new wells possibly the week of the 20th, or in August/September if scheduling requires.
Commissioners approved both contracts on voice votes and staff invited any commissioner interested to observe the well installation when scheduled.
