The Grantee invites submission of qualifications and proposal data (collectively referred to as the "Proposal") from interested U.S. firms which are qualified on the basis of experience and capability to develop a feasibility study for assisting Jiangsu Environmental Protection Department (EPD) in reviewing and evaluating the province?s existing air and water quality monitoring capabilities and framework, as well as evaluating equipment and technologies for upgrading the system. The environmental quality monitoring in Jiangsu Province is currently being done by on-site manual sampling and conventional lab analysis. This process is done only once per month and is generally considered insufficient and inefficient. The information that is generated, is not enough to meet the standards established by the State Council to monitor industrial discharge and environmental quality. The environmental quality is further degraded by the relatively large population and scare land area of the Province. To help remedy these pollution problems, Jiangsu Province is in the process of enhancing its automatic environmental quality monitoring and control system. It is planned that from 2000 -2005, 70 automatic air quality monitoring substations and 2 mobile air quality monitoring stations will be set up in the Province. These stations will provide real-time data acquisition, distant monitoring, and real-time transmission. During the same time frame (2000 - 2005), 50 automatic water quality monitoring stations and 3 mobile water quality monitoring stations will be established. In addition to the water and air monitoring stations, an environmental information processing system will be developed and implemented. The system includes an environmental information control center and an environmental monitoring data transmission mechanism. The control center takes the peer-peer communication means, collects data in a set time frame and implements distant monitoring. The Jiangsu EPD seeks to hire a Contractor to develop a feasibility study to assist in reviewing and evaluating the province's existing air and water quality monitoring capabilities and framework, as well as evaluating equipment and technologies for upgrading the system. The proposed feasibility study will include an evaluation of the existing air and water quality monitoring capabilities and framework; assistance in monitoring locations and determining parameters for air monitoring; assistance in evaluating monitoring locations and determining parameters for water monitoring; a recommendation of air quality monitoring equipment; a recommendation of water quality monitoring equipment; an evaluation of automatic monitoring data collection, processing, distant transmission, and real-time data acquisition systems; an economic and financial analysis of the project; an analysis of the probable environmental impact of the project; and an assessment of the equipment needed to carry out the project. The U.S. firm selected will be paid in U.S. dollars from a $270,000 grant to the Grantee from the U.S. Trade and Development Agency (TDA). A detailed Request for Proposals (RFP), which includes requirements for the Proposal, the Terms of Reference, and a background definitional mission report are available from TDA, at 1621 N. Kent Street, Suite 200, Arlington, VA 22209-2131. Requests for the RFP should be faxed to the IRC, TDA at 703-875-4009.
