The City of Fort Worth operates a comprehensive air quality program under five separate, but related

collection for air pollutants. One of the five contracts, partially funded by the State of Texas, specifically
supports air compliance investigations for over 700 permitted facilities within Fort Worth. Four other
contracts, funded by the State of Texas and federal partners (e.g., United States Environmental Protection
Agency) support operations of different air quality monitoring instruments and related aspects of air
monitoring networks. If executed, this contract will provide for the whole air monitoring aspects of the
network.
This amendment to City Secretary Contract No. 46973 (Initial Contract) will require the City of Fort Worth
(City) to operate local air pollution monitors to include retrieving the sampling filters and data, sending
filters and data for analysis, and performing regular audit and maintenance activities on the equipment
under the terms of the contract. The contract period will be September 1, 2017, through August 31, 2018,
with a not to exceed amount of$386,000.00 for reimbursement of expenses to the City.
