RFP61227001 Ambient Air Quality Monitoring Systems Service and Operation

The Regulator is seeking to renew contracted services for our Ambient Air Quality Monitoring Systems maintenance and operation.
 In British Columbia, ambient air quality monitoring is conducted by the province (and in the Lower Mainland by Metro Vancouver), by select industrial sources permitted under the Environmental Management Act and by the BC Energy Regulator (“The Regulator” or “BCER”). Information on monitoring by the province and industrial sources can be accessed online at https://www2.gov.bc.ca/gov/content/environment/air-land-water/air 

Oil and gas activities are predominant in the Northeast Air Zone. Information on current readings and available data is available at https://www2.gov.bc.ca/gov/content/environment/air-land-water/air/air-quality/current-air-quality-data/northeast-air-zone
 The Regulator monitors ambient air quality from oil and gas activities to protect public safety and conserve the environment. The roving air monitoring trailer known as the CAMEL (Continuous Air Monitoring Environmental Laboratory) and fully mobile van known as RAM (Roaming Air Monitor) units are used for this purpose.
