Chemicals to maintain Hydrolab and In-Situ Sondes

The contract seeks chemicals necessary for the maintenance and calibration of Hydrolab and In-Situ Sondes used in water quality monitoring systems that measure pH, turbidity, conductivity, temperature, and dissolved oxygen. These instruments are critical for ensuring accurate and reliable environmental data collection, and the supplied chemicals must meet specified standards to support consistent performance and regulatory compliance. The solicitation, issued by the City of Austin under reference number IFB 6300 BYS1059, is open for responses until August 13, 2026, and is intended for local vendors capable of providing high-quality, reliable reagents and calibration solutions. All technical requirements are focused on ensuring the ongoing functionality of water quality sensors deployed in municipal monitoring programs. Bid responses must align with operational specifications to guarantee compatibility and precision across all measured parameters. The point of contact for technical inquiries is Brenita Wilkison, while Donna Powell-Maddox handles inquiries related to small and minority business resources. The contract does not specify a set-aside status, and performance is expected to support city operations in Texas without a designated place of performance beyond the general scope of water monitoring activities conducted by the agency.
