Change Order Notice / PM2. 5 Monitors

The Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (Illinois EPA) is seeking to purchase additional PM2.5 Federal Equivalency Monitors (FEM) to comply with comprehensive ambient air monitoring and public reporting requirements specified in Federal law. The Illinois EPA currently operates close to 30 PM2.5 monitor sites throughout the state and requires additional monitors for backup, rotation, and future needs. As such, the Illinois EPA needs to be able to purchase up to 45 PM2.5 monitors and 15 monitoring shelters under this contract. This change order notice increases the not-to-exceed (NTE) amount to $1,094,914.50 to accommodate the additional required equipment. The requirement for the additional monitors and shelters was not reasonably foreseeable at the time the original contract was signed, but is germane to the original contract as failure to conduct the required air monitoring would constitute a failure to comply with the Federal Clean Air Act.

This opportunity is open to all qualified vendors. There are no set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. The current incumbent vendor or contractor is not specified. The total available budget for this procurement is up to $1,094,914.50. Proposals are due by May 7, 2021.
