Evaluate the contractor's overall performance Very Satisfied-The Closed Landfill Program submitted a very substantial project request to Braun to collect all indoor sub-slab vapor samples (heating and non-heating seasons) at 5 closed landfill sites: Washington County, Flying Cloud, Hopkins, Houston County, and Isanti-Chisago. The very large quantity of indoor sub-slab samples required to characterize these sites involved skilled personnel and very good organizational processes to succeed in handling the logistics of the various sites. Braun adapted to collect representative vapor samples when site specific conditions presented limitations to sampling. One residence required the installation of a sub-slab depressurization system (SSDS) and Braun acted quickly to get a system installed at that residence.
