4. Will your current workload enable your firm to devote sufficient time to implement the project? Please explain. Yes, Anchor Engineering has the available staff resources and sufficient availability in our workload to implement and successfully complete the required stormwater monitoring services in accordance with all required DEEP schedules. Our six full-time environmental staff members are available during all representative precipitation events to collect samples; they routinely collect stormwater samples during “off hours” to ensure that samples are collected on time. In addition, our survey crew has been trained in proper sample collection procedures and protocols and are typically available for stormwater sample collection.

5. Demonstrated ability of the laboratory to adequately staff and complete time-sensitive projects. Phoenix Environmental and New England Bioassay have demonstrated the ability to handle a variety of different types of analyses on time-sensitive projects. Anchor Engineering routinely uses these two firms for stormwater analyses. Due to the nature of the work and its timing, we may be submitting 15 to 25 samples at once and they always have adequate resources and staffing to complete the work on time. For other project types, we often request one or two day lab turn-arounds on analyses and they have been able to answer the call. We are confident in the ability to adequately staff and complete time-sensitive projects.

6. Which approach to testing do you favor, municipal collection or your firm? Explain. Anchor Engineering prefers to have access to the sites and discharge locations to be able to collect the samples ourselves rather than have municipal personnel collect the samples. In this way, the responsibilities of all parties involved are clear. Anchor Engineering is responsible for collection of all samples, ensuring that the appropriate laboratory analyses are performed, completing the stormwater monitoring report, and making sure that the schedules are met. The municipalities are responsible for reviewing and signing the stormwater monitoring reports (SMRs).

4. Will your current workload enable your firm to devote sufficient time to implement the project? Please explain. Yes, Anchor Engineering has the available staff resources and sufficient availability in our workload to implement and successfully complete the required stormwater monitoring services in accordance with all required DEEP schedules. Our six full-time environmental staff members are available during all representative precipitation events to collect samples; they routinely collect stormwater samples during “off hours” to ensure that samples are collected on time. In addition, our survey crew has been trained in proper sample collection procedures and protocols and are typically available for stormwater sample collection.

5. Demonstrated ability of the laboratory to adequately staff and complete time-sensitive projects. Phoenix Environmental and New England Bioassay have demonstrated the ability to handle a variety of different types of analyses on time-sensitive projects. Anchor Engineering routinely uses these two firms for stormwater analyses. Due to the nature of the work and its timing, we may be submitting 15 to 25 samples at once and they always have adequate resources and staffing to complete the work on time. For other project types, we often request one or two day lab turn-arounds on analyses and they have been able to answer the call. We are confident in the ability to adequately staff and complete time-sensitive projects.

6. Which approach to testing do you favor, municipal collection or your firm? Explain. Anchor Engineering prefers to have access to the sites and discharge locations to be able to collect the samples ourselves rather than have municipal personnel collect the samples. In this way, the responsibilities of all parties involved are clear. Anchor Engineering is responsible for collection of all samples, ensuring that the appropriate laboratory analyses are performed, completing the stormwater monitoring report, and making sure that the schedules are met. The municipalities are responsible for reviewing and signing the stormwater monitoring reports (SMRs).

4. Will your current workload enable your firm to devote sufficient time to implement the project? Please explain. Yes, Anchor Engineering has the available staff resources and sufficient availability in our workload to implement and successfully complete the required stormwater monitoring services in accordance with all required DEEP schedules. Our six full-time environmental staff members are available during all representative precipitation events to collect samples; they routinely collect stormwater samples during “off hours” to ensure that samples are collected on time. In addition, our survey crew has been trained in proper sample collection procedures and protocols and are typically available for stormwater sample collection.

5. Demonstrated ability of the laboratory to adequately staff and complete time-sensitive projects. Phoenix Environmental and New England Bioassay have demonstrated the ability to handle a variety of different types of analyses on time-sensitive projects. Anchor Engineering routinely uses these two firms for stormwater analyses. Due to the nature of the work and its timing, we may be submitting 15 to 25 samples at once and they always have adequate resources and staffing to complete the work on time. For other project types, we often request one or two day lab turn-arounds on analyses and they have been able to answer the call. We are confident in the ability to adequately staff and complete time-sensitive projects.

6. Which approach to testing do you favor, municipal collection or your firm? Explain. Anchor Engineering prefers to have access to the sites and discharge locations to be able to collect the samples ourselves rather than have municipal personnel collect the samples. In this way, the responsibilities of all parties involved are clear. Anchor Engineering is responsible for collection of all samples, ensuring that the appropriate laboratory analyses are performed, completing the stormwater monitoring report, and making sure that the schedules are met. The municipalities are responsible for reviewing and signing the stormwater monitoring reports (SMRs).
