Wyoming SODAR Meteorological Monitoring Project

The Wyoming Department of Administration & Information and the Wyoming Department of Environmental Quality Air Quality Division (WDEQ-AQD) are seeking proposals for SODAR meteorological monitoring services in Sweetwater County. The procurement involves two years of routine operations, maintenance, and data reporting for SODAR instruments located at Boulder and Moxa Arch monitoring stations, with services scheduled from January 1, 2026 through December 31, 2027. Specifically, the project requires maintaining two SODAR instruments: a Scintec Flat Array SODAR at the Boulder station and an ASC Model Number 4000 mini-SODAR at the Moxa Arch station, which will characterize inversion heights, wind profiles, and meteorological conditions in the Upper Green River Basin ozone non-attainment area. The evaluation methodology will allocate 100 points across proposer background and experience (20 points), technical experience (30 points), methodology (20 points), and cost (30 points). Proposals are due by May 12, 2025 at 2:00 PM Mountain Time, with a tentative award date of May 30, 2025, and written questions must be submitted through the Public Purchase online bidding system by April 21, 2025 at 2:00 PM Mountain Time.

The contract includes potential renewal options for two additional two-year terms, with a maximum contract period of six years. While specific budget details are not explicitly stated, the WDEQ-AQD will provide electrical service, site communication costs, and a "force account" for unforeseen maintenance and repairs. The selected contractor will be responsible for data transfer, annual site visits, equipment maintenance, cellular modem data contract payment, and potential emergency visits. The project supports air quality monitoring efforts and involves stakeholders including the WDEQ-AQD, air quality permit applicants, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, federal land managers, and the general public. Proposers must submit all documentation through the Public Purchase online bidding system in PDF, Excel, or Microsoft Office format. There are no explicit set-aside designations or restrictions on organizational types mentioned in the procurement documents. All proposals must be uploaded completely through the Public Purchase online bidding system, with incomplete submissions being deemed non-responsive and eliminated from the evaluation process.
