The City of Fort Worth (City) operates a comprehensive air quality program under four separate, but related contracts with the Texas Commission
on Environmental Quality (TCEQ). This overall program benefits the City by ensuring that facilities are in compliance with air quality regulations
and by supporting reliable data collection for air pollutants. One of the four contracts, partially funded by the State of Texas, specifically supports air
monitoring operations for particulate matter emissions within the City of Fort Worth. If executed, this contract will require the 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 Texas Commission on Environmental Quality provides all air
monitoring equipment, parts, and supplies for the proper operation of the air monitoring stations and is contracting with the City of Fort Worth for
the operation and maintenance of these monitoring stations. The contract period will be September 1, 2021, through August 31, 2022, with a not to
exceed amount of $64,451.21 for reimbursement of expenses to the City. This renewal is the first of three one-year renewal options in accordance
with the original contract. This contract may be renewed for two more one-year periods upon mutual written agreement between both parties.
There are no local matching funds required for this grant contract.
