All such bottles, containers and coolers shall remain the property of the Laboratory. The Laboratory shall arrange for the samples and containers to be picked up and transported from the County to the Laboratory after collection by the County. The shipping cost/courier cost shall be included in the cost of analysis. In the event a sample is lost, destroyed or otherwise compromised by the Laboratory, at the option of the County, a resampling fee may be deducted from the invoice for each well or station required to be resampled.

The unit price shall include all costs, i.e. postage, shipping, professional and technician time, mileage, handling, reporting, quality assurance/quality control, and any other direct costs associated with the analysis.
