Direct Source Capture Vehicle Exhaust Removal System

The City of Westerville is seeking proposals for three complete direct source capture vehicle exhaust removal systems for its fire station facilities, with the procurement aimed at implementing NFPA 1500 compliant emissions control infrastructure. The project involves furnishing, delivering, and installing systems designed to capture and remove hazardous vehicle exhaust emissions directly at the tailpipe, preventing potential environmental contamination within fire stations. These systems must fully comply with all applicable NFPA standards and are being funded through federal grants from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and the United States Department of Homeland Security (DHS). The procurement opportunity was posted on September 22, 2025, with proposals due by October 16, 2025. Potential contractors must adhere to specific federal procurement standards and contracting provisions, and must demonstrate eligibility for capital projects involving federal funding. Interested parties can access detailed information and submit proposals through the Westerville Bonfire procurement hub at https://westerville.bonfirehub.com/opportunities/199139.

The procurement appears to have no specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises, though federal funding sources typically encourage diverse vendor participation. Contractors must demonstrate comprehensive compliance with federal procurement requirements and possess technical capabilities to design, manufacture, and install advanced vehicle exhaust removal systems that meet rigorous safety standards. While specific budget ranges are not explicitly stated, federal-funded infrastructure projects of this nature typically range between $75,000 to $250,000 depending on system complexity and installation requirements. The project is geographically situated in Delaware County, Ohio, and targets fire station facilities with critical environmental control needs. Potential bidders should carefully review all technical specifications, federal compliance requirements, and installation parameters before submitting proposals. Interested vendors must be prepared to provide comprehensive documentation of their technical capabilities, past performance in similar municipal infrastructure projects, and ability to meet stringent federal procurement guidelines.
