It is estimated that 2 400 samples (±10 %) will be available in 2016. A single sample price is required in the pricing schedule. Some water samples are anticipated to be available for immediate collection and start of works upon award of contract. Time is not of the essence and the timing of sample availability is dependent on completion of the separate sampling contract.
