The Olympic Region Clean Air Agency (ORCAA) is soliciting bids for a custom-built air monitoring shelter to be located at Mountain View Elementary School in Lacey, Washington. The procurement is a Request for Bid (RFB) seeking a qualified vendor to design, manufacture, and deliver an 8' x 12' temperature-controlled shelter with specific technical requirements. Key deliverables include an insulated shelter with power distribution, HVAC system, and an OSHA-compliant rooftop platform, all compliant with Washington State Building Code. Bidders must submit an itemized list of shelter components, costs, and provide references from three customers with similar shelter purchases within the last five years. Evaluation criteria will encompass bid price, project approach quality, personnel qualifications, past work portfolio, references, and demonstrated ability to meet project deadlines. Critical dates include bidder inquiries due by December 16, 2024, proposal submissions due by January 6, 2025 at 8 a.m. PST, bid selection by January 17, 2025, and contract finalization by February 7, 2025, with shelter delivery scheduled between June 15 and July 30, 2025.

The procurement does not specify explicit set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. The total project budget is $75,000, which must comprehensively cover the shelter, permits, state inspection, certification, and shipping costs. ORCAA will manage shelter off-loading and installation, with installation planned during the summer when school is not in session. Bidders must provide comprehensive insurance coverage as part of their proposal. The agency will be responsible for final shelter placement at Mountain View Elementary School, with the expectation that the selected vendor can meet all technical specifications and project timelines. While no incumbent vendor is mentioned, the project requires integration with existing school infrastructure and must meet specific environmental monitoring requirements. Prospective bidders should be prepared to demonstrate technical capability, financial stability, and experience in manufacturing specialized environmental monitoring shelters.
