Cost Comparison for Sampling
VISTA
Based upon the proposal submitted to the AQUIT team by Tom Roberts for air sampling forcontaminants in the LCCP Laboratory, the following is an estimate of in-house costs for performing the same sampling. This estimate is based upon the number of pumps that are
available at LCCP and includes all costs associated with the sampling. A breakdown of costs is as follows:
Sample Analysis Special Sampling Sample Shipment Manpower
* Six Day Total
Equipment
S1536 150 20 682
$2388
Six days would be required due to equipment limitations.
This compares to a proposed cost of $5466.85 for 0IHS to perform the sampling in three days. Although there is a difference in the cost of in-house versus contracted sampling, there are benefits in using a consultant for this type of sampling. First, this consultant has performed this type of sampling before and is familiar with all of the techniques for using the different types of sampling devices.
They also have the capability to continuously observe the samples and note any occurrences which would lead to a high sample result. Also, the initial sampling would take three days for the consultant
and day/night sampling would be possible. Furthermore, by using a consulting firm, a Certified Industrial Hygienist would be available to answer questions and offer guidance.
If you have any questions, feel free to give me a call.
