Whitehorse National Air Pollution Surveillance Program Monitoring and Data Management Support

The Government of Yukon, through the Department of Environment's Environmental Protection and Assessment Branch, is seeking experienced proponents to provide technical services for the operation and data management of the Whitehorse National Air Pollution Surveillance (NAPS) station. The contract involves a combination of in-person and remote support, including routine operation, maintenance, calibration of air quality analyzers, annual station visits, and continuous data and alerts review. All work must be performed using the Envidas software suite and adhere to the National Air Pollution Surveillance Program guidelines and the Canadian Council for Ministers of Environment’s Air Quality Management System reporting requirements. The initial term is for one year, with options to renew for two additional years, spanning a maximum period from 2026 to 2029. The solicitation follows a value-driven, two-envelope submission process where proposals are evaluated on a 100-point scale, consisting of a technical submission worth 55 points and a price and Yukon First Nation (YFN) submission worth 45 points. To be considered acceptable, proposals must meet specific minimum technical thresholds, including at least 60 percent on individual criteria and 80 percent for project team experience. The award will be granted to the proponent with the highest final score, with potential bid value reductions applied for YFN business ownership, location, and labor. Successful contractors must provide proof of insurance and a letter of compliance from the Yukon Workers’ Safety and Compensation Board within specified timeframes following the notice of award. Invoicing is required on a quarterly basis or within 15 days of contract completion.
