There is not a specific Alert item that can check the bar parameters for a chart.

But there are a few ways to do this. The simplest is to add the "Spreadsheet Study" to a chart. Within the spreadsheet itself is specific information for the chart in columns I and J. For instance, the "Seconds Per Bar" and "Number of Trades Per Bar" are listed. You can then reference that cell into one of the formula columns and then use that information in your alert.

For instance, if the Seconds per Bar (cell J36) is set to 300 (5 minute chart), then you would enter the following in cell K3:
=$J$36

Then in your alert formula, you would add an item to test that the subgraph for Column K is set to 300, like the following:
=AND(..., ID1.SG1 = 300, ...)
