BACKGROUND
The Boulder County Parks and Open Space Department (BCPOS), Agricultural Resources Division, is seeking proposals for the following agricultural project. The Board of County Commissioners adopted the Boulder County Parks and Open Space Cropland Policy in 2011, mandating the following monitoring operations, "Boulder County shall implement monitoring regimes to ensure that practices and policies are stabilizing and improving soil health and quality." As a part of this mandate, the county will begin monitoring pesticide residues on five (5) selected agricultural properties. These properties include the following Boulder County Agricultural properties, Ertl; 7203 N 115th Street, Ludlow; 11092 Prospect Road, Macy; 10663 Lookout Road, Montgomery; 12570 Ute Road and Quicksilver; O Quicksilver Road. At this time the County seeks an ISO Accredited Laboratory to test for pesticide residues in collected soil samples. The results will be used to create a baseline to identify which pesticides, if any, are actually contained in the soil.
