Environmental Monitoring Equipment

The Waquoit Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve (NERR) is seeking to establish a master service agreement for the purchase of environmental monitoring equipment. This includes sensors installed on water quality sondes, telemetry units, or weather stations. All the required sensors for meteorological monitoring are either manufactured or distributed by Campbell Scientific Inc. The sensor model and recalibration standards for the meteorological station are listed in the solicitation. Similarly, Yellow Springs Instruments (YSI), a brand of Xylem Inc., is the designated vendor for all unattended water quality monitoring within the NERRS. The YSI probes needed for the spring of 2019 are listed in the solicitation. The Waquoit Bay NERR also expects to receive a C-sense, in situ PCO2 sensor by Turner Designs within a few months, which may require repair, service, and technical support on a periodic basis. The Waquoit Bay NERR requires a vendor that can supply environmental mapping products such as GPS equipment, software, and technical support.
