Grimm Instruments for Smoke Monitoring

The Washington State Department of Ecology awarded a sole‑source, firm‑fixed‑price contract to Durag Inc. for the procurement of four Grimm EDM‑264 particulate‑matter monitors and one Grimm 11‑D spare spectrometer to support the agency’s EPA‑funded smoke‑monitoring workplan. The equipment must be new, covered by the manufacturer’s warranty, and delivered to Ecology’s facilities in Lacey, WA. Funding is provided through the federal Inflation Reduction Act Air‑Monitoring Grant (EPA Grant No. 5T‑02J72201). The contract’s base value is $116,297.91, with tax included, and it runs for one year with a possible one‑year extension. • 4 × Grimm EDM‑264 analyzers (new, pole‑mounting set) • 1 × Grimm 11‑D spectrometer (spare) • Sole‑source justification based on Durag Inc. being the exclusive U.S. distributor of Grimm instruments.
