Environment Canada's Air Quality Research Division has expressed the need to purchase an instrument capable of measuring the size distributions of atmospheric aerosols. To avoid the use of radioactive materials and consumables, the measurement technique for this instrument will be based on optical light scattering. Since this instrument will be used to conduct mobile measurements in urban centers, fast response capabilities are required. In addition, the instrument will be deployed at remote locations without a protective shelter. As such the instrument is required to operate unattended and without consumables, such as drying agents, solvents or charcoal, for extended periods of time in harsh environmental conditions.
Environment Canada's Air Quality Research Division requires the supply and delivery of one (1) fully-functional Optical Particle Counter for measuring the size distributions of atmospheric aerosols and 12 months warranty to be delivered to Environment Canada in Downsview, Ontario on or before March 31, 2014.
The bidder must demonstrate that they meet every mandatory evaluation criteria in their bid by submitting supporting documentation. Failure to provide supporting documentation by bid closing date will result in the bid being deemed non-responsive.

1. Time resolution must be equal to 1 second or less (faster). 2. The measurement range must meet each of the following specifications: ? Range of particle sizes must be between 200 nm and 18000 nm ; ? Number of channels in the measurement range must be 50 or more; and ? Mass range must be between 0 and 1.5 mg/m3. 3. The instrument must be able to measure ambient air samples with temperatures between -30ºC and 35ºC. 4. Calibrations must be possible at the measurement sites. 5. The instrument operations must be low maintenance with no consumables, such as drying agents, solvents or charcoal. 6. The weight of the instrument must be less than or equal 20.00 kg;
