Blackline G8 5 Gas Air Monitor

Zone 7 Water Agency is seeking quotations for Blackline G8 5 Gas Air Monitor, RFQ No. SQ-2026-008. Quotes must be submitted through the e-Procurement portal at https://procurement.opengov.com/portal/zone7water, no later than 2:00 pm on Thursday, August 13, 2026.

Background

Zone 7's existing confined space gas detection instruments have reached the end of their service life and are becoming increasingly costly to maintain. As life safety equipment required for confined space entry, these instruments must provide accurate and reliable atmospheric monitoring to ensure employee safety and compliance with Cal/OSHA regulations.

This RFQ is being issued to procure replacement five-gas detectors, calibration and charging stations, and related accessories to support Zone 7's confined space entry program. The new equipment will improve reliability, reduce maintenance requirements, and ensure continued compliance with regulatory requirements while enhancing employee safety.

  1.  General

  Only a Bidder who has submitted a responsive Bid is eligible to submit a bid protest against another Bidder. Subcontractors are not eligible to submit bid protests. A Bidder may not rely on the bid protest submitted by another Bidder, but must timely pursue its own protest.

  The bid protest must contain a complete statement of the basis for the protest and all supporting documentation.  Material submitted after the Bid Protest Deadline will not be considered. The protest must refer to the specific portion or portions of the Contract Documents upon which the protest is based. The protest must include the name, address, email address, and telephone number of the person representing the protesting Bidder if different from the protesting Bidder.

   

  3.  Service of Protest

  A copy of the protest and all supporting documents must be concurrently transmitted by email and overnight mail, by or before the Bid Protest Deadline, to the protested Bidder or Bidders.

   

  4.  Response to Protest

  The protested Bidder may submit a written response to the protest, provided the response is received by the Agency before 5:00 p.m., within two (2) Working Days after the Bid Protest Deadline or after actual receipt of the bid protest, whichever is sooner (the “Response Deadline”). The response must include all supporting documentation. Material submitted after the Response Deadline will not be considered. The response must include the name, address, email address, and telephone number of the person representing the protested Bidder if different from the protested Bidder.

  A copy of the response and all supporting documents must be concurrently transmitted by email and overnight mail, by or before the Response Deadline, to the protesting Bidder.

  The bid protest and any response from the protested Bidder are the only documents that will be considered by the Agency.  

   

  7.  Mandatory Requirements

  The procedure and time limits set forth in this section are mandatory. A Bidder’s failure to comply with these procedures will constitute a waiver of any right to further pursue a bid protest, including the initiation of legal proceedings.
