DEP-BWP-DPE-EQE-LAW-2014-Ambient Air-MA

The Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection (MassDEP) is conducting an "Open Enrollment" Contract to establish and maintain a large pool of pre-qualified Contractors and Vendors from which the Departments throughout the Commonwealth can select for Ambient Air Quality Instrumentation, Parts, Supplies, Maintenance Agreements and Repair. The contract covers a wide range of air monitoring equipment, supplies, and services, including continuous analyzers, particulate matter samplers, meteorological sensors, calibration services, and data acquisition systems. The initial contract term is 10 years with two 1-year renewal options, for a total of 12 years. Quotes are due by December 11, 2020, and the estimated contract start date is December 28, 2020. Pricing for the contract will be based on the Bidder's provided cost tables and catalogs. The procurement includes a 10% minimum weight for the Supplier Diversity Program Plan in the evaluation, and Bidders must complete an environmental practices form and agree to work with the Commonwealth to develop an environmental plan.

The contract requires Bidders to provide business references and submit a Contractor Authorized Signatory Listing form. Prompt payment discounts are required, and successful Bidders must have a current Uniform Financial Statements and Independent Auditor's Report on file. The Commonwealth encourages Bidders to adopt environmentally-preferable business practices and provides a form for documenting these initiatives. The contract has no maximum obligation and does not list any incumbent vendors or specific funding sources.
