Vehicle Remote Sensing

The Nevada Department of Motor Vehicles is soliciting proposals under solicitation 81DMV-S3985 for vehicle remote sensing services in Clark County. The primary objective is to conduct annual remote sensing of at least 20,000 vehicles to satisfy the 0.5 percent exhaust emission fleet monitoring requirement mandated by the Clark County State Implementation Plan and approved by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. The selected vendor will be responsible for providing all labor, equipment, permits, and data processing systems to measure pollutants such as hydrocarbons, carbon monoxide, and carbon dioxide from vehicles in motion. This data will serve as both a research tool for the state's Motor Vehicle Inspection and Maintenance Program and a regulatory enforcement tool under NRS 482.461. The anticipated contract is for an initial four-year term beginning approximately February 1, 2027, with the possibility of two one-year extensions. All remote sensing testing must be completed within a one-week window between October and November, with results submitted to the DMV within 30 days of study completion. Proposals are due by September 29, 2026, at 2:00 PM PST. Evaluation is based on the best interest of the state, with a five percent preference given to Nevada-based businesses and a pass/fail assessment of financial stability. Awardees must adhere to strict insurance requirements, maintain confidentiality of DMV records, and comply with state and federal non-discrimination and lobbying certifications.
