Statement of Qualifications

---

The following is a brief statement of qualifications for our company. Ideal Tech Services, Inc. (ITS) is an established freelance environmental field support firm, conducting business across the State of Florida. Since 2003, ITS is a registered Florida Corporation, classified as a small business, and a Florida Drug Free Work Place. Our highly trained and experienced staff specializes in field operations. These specialty areas include:

 Groundwater, air, and soil sampling. Recording air, and water quality data in the field, tidal influence studies and associated sampling for dock construction permitting, and long-term monitoring of boat slip sites in accordance with specific permit requirements.

ITS understands the importance of data collection and how our quality of work ultimately affects your relationship with your clients. We are especially cognizant of the necessity to collect groundwater, surface water, and soil samples with strict adherence to chapter 62-160 of the Florida Administrative Code (F.A.C.), and DEP-SOP-001/01 while working within the State of Florida.

ITS is an extremely cost effective alternative to performing these tasks yourself. For example, you will not need to spend thousands of dollars on equipment and maintenance in order to keep up to date with the requirements of the State of Florida SOPs. Most importantly, you will not need to hire and train the staff needed to sample your sites. This is especially helpful when some of the State funded programs slow down. Simply put, we can increase and maintain your bottom line profits instantly by eliminating your corporations commitment to up front equipment and personnel investment costs.

ITS owns and maintains the necessary equipment required to collect data in the field with regard to groundwater sampling. Our data acquisition equipment is carefully researched and selected to assure compliance with the specifications listed in the FDEP SOP guidelines. Our equipment is maintained in peak condition at all times. In the event of an onsite equipment failure, our contingency plan is to have backup equipment on hand at the jobsite in order to fully complete the task.

ITS has a very strong working relationship with several of Florida’s finest laboratories, construction contractors, remediation equipment vendors, and FDEP approved Engineering firms.
