Juel Spring Ambient Air Monitoring Project

The Wyoming Department of Environmental Quality Air Quality Division (DEQ-AQD) is seeking a qualified vendor to conduct the Juel Spring Ambient Air Monitoring Project in Sweetwater County. This Request for Proposal (RFP) calls for comprehensive air quality monitoring in the Upper Green River Basin Ozone Nonattainment Area, with specific requirements for routine operations, data reporting, maintenance, and equipment installation. The selected contractor will be responsible for collecting near real-time ambient air and meteorological data, including measurements of ozone, nitric oxide, nitrogen dioxide, methane, and hydrocarbons. Key deliverables include purchasing and installing a new datalogger, cable junction box, and methane/non-methane hydrocarbon analyzer, as well as performing monthly site visits and providing quarterly and annual reporting. The proposal is due on June 13, 2025, with a tentative award date of July 1, 2025, and routine operations scheduled to begin on January 1, 2026, continuing through December 31, 2027. Written questions must be submitted through the Public Purchase online bidding system by 2:00 PM Mountain Time on May 12, 2025, with a minimum data recovery requirement of 90% per calendar quarter. All data must be transmitted to the DEQ-AQD's WyVisNet website, EPA's AirNow website, and other specified platforms, following strict EPA guidelines and quality assurance procedures.

The RFP does not explicitly mention specific set-aside designations or restrictions on respondent types. The contract includes potential renewal options that can extend two years at a time, with a total potential contract period not to exceed six years. While specific budget ranges are not detailed in the provided documentation, the comprehensive nature of the monitoring project suggests a substantial investment in environmental data collection and analysis. The project involves continuous operation of an existing air monitoring station, indicating that there may be infrastructure and technological systems already in place that the new contractor will need to integrate and maintain. The procurement will be conducted entirely through the Public Purchase online bidding system, with strict requirements for digital submission and no alternative submission methods accepted. Interested vendors must register with the Public Purchase system at no cost and carefully follow the submission guidelines to ensure their proposal is considered responsive and complete.
