CEMS NOx/O2 SHEC ALL UNITS

The City of Austin is requesting quotes for a Continuous Emissions Monitoring System (CEMS) NOx/O2 unit for the South Holly Energy Center (SHEC) all units, with quotes due August 4, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. Central Time under IFQ 1100 CPG1079. The procurement uses a tiered vendor-access process: initial solicitation is distributed via email exclusively to vendors certified as HUBs or M/WBEs through the State of Texas and City of Austin; if adequate quotes are received from certified contractors, award is made from that pool; otherwise the solicitation is posted on Austin Finance Online to all vendors registered for the applicable commodity code.

The primary item is one Thermo Scientific model 42iQLS-ACBNA CEMS NOx/O2 SHEC unit, though offerors may propose alternative manufacturers and part numbers. Pricing must include all handling, shipping, and freight charges on an FOB Destination basis and must exclude Federal Excise and State Sales Tax. Offerors must specify estimated lead times and select a delivery method (vendor delivery or common carrier shipment). Award will be made to the lowest offer meeting minimum requirements. The City reserves the right to request references from the lowest offeror prior to award to confirm minimum qualifications.

Payment is due within 30 days of receipt of properly documented invoices contingent upon satisfactory delivery. The City does not guarantee purchase of estimated quantities. All offers and documents, except those marked proprietary and confidential, are available for public inspection. Respondents must comply with City and State certifications, including non-discrimination, wage theft, non-debarment, and anti-Israel boycott provisions as required by Texas law.
