The contract enables the purchase of Ice Country Model AQMCC 16FTV trailers, which are 8'2"x16' single axle mobile shelters fully equipped with galvanized steel frames, welded aluminum structures, insulated walls, LED lighting, and comprehensive electrical components specifically engineered for environmental monitoring purposes. These shelters are available at tiered pricing ranging from $22,650 for 1-2 units to $21,850 for 6-10 units, providing flexibility for the DEQ's air quality monitoring equipment needs.

The contract is managed by the North Dakota State Procurement Office and currently has Minnesota Manufacturing LLC as the prime contractor. Originally awarded on November 27, 2020, the contract has been extended multiple times through amendments, with the current period of performance running until December 1, 2025. The vehicle allows for potential additional 6-month extensions and retains two remaining renewal options. The contract includes comprehensive insurance requirements, with a minimum commercial general liability coverage of $2,000,000 per occurrence. While geographically focused on North Dakota, the contract provides a structured procurement mechanism for specialized environmental monitoring infrastructure, ensuring the DEQ can efficiently acquire critical air monitoring equipment.
