Dapc SFY26 lima air monitoring trailer

The Ohio Environmental Protection Agency (Ohio EPA) is seeking a procurement for a specialized air monitoring trailer to be located in Lima, Allen County. The Request for Quote (RFQ) details comprehensive specifications for a 7 ft W x 16 ft L trailer designed to house air monitoring equipment at 2650 Bible Road, Lima, OH. The trailer must feature an aluminum exterior, insulated walls and floor, a 100A 120/240V electrical system, wall-mounted 2-ton HVAC, and a modular roof railing system compliant with OSHA standards. Key deliverables include specific interior accommodations such as two instrument racks, a Beta Attenuation Monitor (BAM) table, a desk, cylinder rack, and designated spaces for various analyzers and loggers. The procurement requires a minimum 12-month warranty, with the understanding that final equipment layout will be collaboratively determined between Ohio EPA and the selected bidder. The solicitation was posted on August 4, 2025, with proposals due by August 15, 2025, indicating a relatively short response window of approximately 11 days.

While no specific set-aside designations or disadvantaged enterprise requirements are explicitly outlined in the documentation, the procurement appears open to qualified vendors capable of meeting the detailed trailer specifications. The trailer is intended to support Ohio EPA's air monitoring efforts, suggesting potential opportunities for vendors with experience in environmental monitoring equipment and mobile infrastructure. No incumbent vendor information is provided, and the RFQ does not specify a precise budget range or award value. The procurement indicates that Ohio EPA will supply all air monitoring equipment, which means the successful bidder will be responsible for providing the trailer infrastructure to precise specifications. The contract appears to be a single-source procurement for a specialized air monitoring trailer, with potential for future similar requirements across Ohio's environmental monitoring network.
