SSA - Power for Air Monitoring station - chinden campus

The Idaho Department of Environmental Quality is seeking a sole source authorization to purchase power for an air monitoring station located at the Chinden campus from Idaho Power. The station requires a new single-phase pad transformer to be installed, which can only be provided by Idaho Power. The project involves extending power to the property boundary, after which a local contractor can install an electrical meter and provide power access within the property boundary. The total cost of the project is estimated to be between $20,000 and $25,000. • The project requires the installation of a new single-phase pad transformer at the site. • The work will be done by Idaho Power, who owns and operates the high-voltage distribution system that serves the area. • The project is essential for maintaining a complete and accurate data set for air quality monitoring. • The agency has determined that there is only one vendor qualified to provide this service, which is Idaho Power.
