High-Resolution Mobile Monitoring

The Department of Ecology seeks a contractor to conduct a high-resolution mobile monitoring study to collect data on air pollutants in overburdened communities and participating Tribal communities across Washington State. The contractor will provide a comprehensive dataset, including repeat measurements of multiple air pollutants, temporally balanced across a range of times of day, days of the week, and seasons, and geographically balanced across land uses and roadway types. The study aims to identify gradients in air pollution burden at a finer, more local scale than current monitoring networks can provide. The contractor will be responsible for mobile monitoring, data processing, analysis, and visualization, as well as community engagement and outreach. The contract will include deliverables in five main task areas: project initiation and updates, mobile monitoring planning, conducting mobile monitoring, data reporting, analysis, and visualization, and project conclusion. • The contractor must provide a well-thought-out work plan response with a clear explanation of deliverables, breakdown of tasks, and approach to meet the objectives. • The contractor must demonstrate knowledge and experience related to environmental justice, equity, and cultural responsiveness to Tribes and overburdened communities. • The contractor must provide all technical services related to mobile monitoring, along with data processing, analysis, and visualization. • The contractor must support the Department of Ecology in leading and conducting all engagement, communications, and outreach to support monitoring activities. • The contractor must produce a written and oral presentation deliverable with specific recommendations pertaining to the objectives and expectations outlined in the scope of work.
