The City of El Paso is seeking a supplier to provide an ozone analyzer for the automatic, unattended measurement of ozone in ambient air. The analyzer must meet specific requirements, including a U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) federal reference or federal equivalent method designation EQOA-0992-087. The contract may not exceed $49,999.99 per annum or an aggregate of $100,000 for multiple years. The City reserves the right to request samples and conduct safety and capacity inspections prior to awarding the contract. Key features of the analyzer include microprocessor-based digital circuitry, a digital display with a touchscreen interface, and the ability to log all operational parameters. The analyzer must also have a user-selectable range of 0-100 parts per billion (ppb) to 0-10 parts per million (ppm) and meet specific requirements for zero noise, span noise, lower detectable limit, zero drift, span drift, precision, response time, and linearity. Some of the key requirements for the analyzer include:
* Microprocessor controlled analyzer
* U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) federal reference or federal equivalent method designation EQOA-0992-087
* Digital display with a touchscreen interface
* Ability to log all operational parameters
* User-selectable range of 0-100 parts per billion (ppb) to 0-10 parts per million (ppm)
* Meets specific requirements for zero noise, span noise, lower detectable limit, zero drift, span drift, precision, response time, and linearity
* Must have internal pump with controlled flow and sample inlet and exhaust via 0.25-inch Swagelok compatible compression fittings
* Must have carrying handles and a 5-micrometer particulate filter of 47-millimeter diameter accessible through the front panel
* Maximum dimensions 7” x 17” x 24” and less than 30 pounds
* AC power: 115 volts, 60 hertz (Hz), 250 watts
* Must have hardware specific remote access software that allows for remote connection with virtual interface and data downloading capabilities
* Must have a warranty period of at least two years from the date of acceptance
* Must have a manual or CD that includes complete operating instructions, circuit descriptions, theory of operation, location of controls and switches, software commands, maintenance, and service instructions.
