The City of Fort Worth partners to operate an air quality program under four separate but related contracts with the Texas Commission on
Environmental Quality (TCEQ). This local air program benefits the City by ensuring that facilities are in compliance with air quality regulations and
by supporting data collection for air pollutants. Among the four contracts, this contract is fully -funded by the U.S Environmental Protection Agency
(US EPA) through its Section 103 Grant Program, administered by the TCEQ. There are no local matching funds required for this grant contract.
EPA Section 103 Grant Funds have been received annually by the City for the Air Pollution Control Program in cooperation with TCEQ to maintain
and operate various ambient air monitoring stations.
This contract specifically supports a portion of a regional, regulatory ambient air pollution monitoring network. This includes daily monitoring of
oxides of nitrogen and particulate matter. Upon authorization, this contract will continue to support City of Fort Worth operations for local
Continuous Air Monitoring Stations. Activities include air pollutant monitoring, calibration, operation, and regular audit and maintenance activities
for equipment under the terms of the contract. The TCEQ provides all air monitoring equipment and supplies for the operation of the air monitoring
sites. The contract period will be September 1, 2024, through August 31, 2025, with a maximum amount up to $64,451.21 for reimbursement of
expenses to the City.
