LIMITS OF ERROR, AND PENALTIES RELATED THERETO a. Determinations of satisfactory accuracy and/or precision may be made by County, on notification of Contractor, from information provided with Performance Evaluation samples from certified vendors. For samples prepared from Proficiency Testing (PT) standards, performance thresholds from the PT standard vendor will be used as the criteria for acceptability of results. b. In the case of deviation from performance acceptance limits for the analysis of PT samples, County may, at its option, either notify Contractor, if County believes the error is of a random nature or submit to Contractor another PT sample. County may request Contractor to provide additional quality assurance documentation for the test in question or for all tests (involving the same species) on samples within the same batch as the PT sample. These follow-up investigations will be conducted at the sole expense of Contractor. On the second occurrence, within 45 days (based on sample submittal date), of failure of PT sample acceptance criteria for the same toxicity test, Contractor's invoice(s), for all analyses using that test on samples submitted during the calendar month of the initial error, shall be discounted by 20%. c. After the second occurrence, within 60 days (based on sample submittal date), of a reported result failing PT sample acceptance criteria, a meeting will be held between County and Contractor to discuss a resolution to the problem. Within 30 days subsequent to the meeting, another PT sample from a certified vendor will be submitted by County to Contractor. Failure to produce a result within performance acceptance limits as defined by the PT vendor shall be cause for cancellation of this agreement by County.

In the case of deviation from true values in excess of the detection limits outlined above, for samples of known composition submitted by COUNTY for accuracy quality control, COUNTY may (at its option) either:  Notify CONTRACTOR, if COUNTY believes the error is of a random nature, or  Submit to CONTRACTOR, for analysis, another sample of known composition.
