Remote Sensing Study
It is the goal of this Request for Proposal to identify a vendor(s) and execute a contract to implement to provide a Remote Sensing Device (RSD) study. The main goal of the study is to assist the counties within the State of Delaware with non-attainment air quality to reach compliance with the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990, relative to on-road testing requirements. The study will also provide a means for the Division to develop on-road vehicle emission profiles for specific areas that can be used as a tool to gauge the effectiveness of the Delaware motor vehicle inspection and maintenance program.
The awarded vendor shall obtain valid remote sensing (RSD) readings from a minimum of ten thousand (10,000) vehicles, which will fulfill the 0.5% fleet requirement set by 7 DE Admin. Code 1131. The Vendor shall provide vehicle information, emissions reading data, and a written report on the findings from the RSD study to the Department.
