BACKGROUND. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has the need to secure an applications analyst, non-personal professional services for assistance in the technology enhancement of the Navigation Data Centerâs (CEIWR-NDC) current Dredging Information S ystem (DIS) and the Lock Performance Monitoring System (LPMS). In addition, the need extends to the requirement to have services for development and deployment of an Oracle data warehouse. Both DIS and LPMS will need to be upgraded to at least Oracle 9i a nd the Apache Listener. These services will be provided to the NDC, Alexandria, VA. DIS is currently a web based Oracle application. Data is entered into the database via a web browser by district dredging personnel. The program manager reviews the data for inconsistencies via web based reports, SQL queries and MS Access queries and repo rts. The database resides on WPC21 in an Oracle 8.1.7 database using the OAS 4.0.8 web listener. LPMS is currently a web based Oracle application using 8.1.7 using the OAS 4.0.8 web listener . There are COBOL report programs that need to be converted to run in the data warehouse environment due to complexity and data set size. Data is entered locally by lock personnel via the web and edited online via PL/SQL and Javascript programs. Online reports are also available. More complex reports using larger data sets need to be made available thru a data warehouse. 2. SCOPE. The work requires knowledge of the employment of all hardware, software and services in the area of Oracle database configuration and design, to both Intranet/Internet and screens for both data entry and reporting across the Corps of Engineers C EEIS backbone. The knowledge shall include: Oracle RDBMS 8.1.7 and 9.x on SUN E3000 platform; Windows 98/2k and Linux ; SQL; Oracle Web tools including the Apache Listener; current versions of Oracle Developer and Designer; Oracle PL/SQL; HTML; XML; Jav ascript, Java; PERL, PERL DBI, MYSQL, PHP and wireless protocol access; MS Access 2000. 3. APPLICABLE DOCUMENTS. AR 25-1; AR 380-380; TB 18-100; Section 508 4. TASKS: The contractor personnel shall execute the following tasks as specified below: a.

(1%) b. Assist the Government in the installation and configuration of Solaris 8 and ORACLE 9i and upgrade of those products including on-site support (12%): - SUN E3000 - Windows 98/2K - Linux - Wireless - Designer 6i and repository c. Review application and software requirements to develop new hardware specifications for procurement of new hardware.(2%) d. Using Oracle Designer, update an Oracle 8.1.7 database to 9i for LPMS and modifying the current system to include traffic flow and record duplication. (10%) e. Review design for eventual inclusion of OMNI data elements identified by the LPMS-OMNI task force as common reportable data. (2%) f. Update maintenance screens so data can be changed on the fly. (2%) g. Implement deferred constraints. (2%) h. Modify web based data entry screens to reflect changes in paragraph c. Screens must accommodate real time data entry and post time data entry including a vessel arrival queue screen. (10%) i. Develop web based data display screens over a wireless device, cell phone or web browser for use by industry in querying lock traffic queues. (2%) j. Modify Arrival data to include wireless data entry. (2%) k. Develop a routine to publish Arrival Data to the Web or to a wireless device. (2%) l. Convert context edits from 9000 line COBOL program to Oracle PL/SQL database triggers to enforce data entry rules. (2%) m. Develop data warehouse standard reports and data extract using SQL, HTML, Javascript and Java formats. Reports should be viewable as text from a Net browser (IE 5.x or Netscape Navigator, generation 4.x and above). The Extract output should be ASCII, co mma delimited, double quoted text string format. (5%) n. Update the current documentation to reflect the new configuration, data entry rules, data fields and reports. (2%) o. Finalize data loads from external LPMS collection systems that will enforce all the edits/data entry rules supported in the web based system for the data warehouse. (2%) p.

Investigate the feasibility of using vessel GPS transponders to send data to readers mounted at the lock site to record the time events, commodities etc. associated with lock transiting. Possible Homeland Security requirements should be considered. (5% ) v. Investigate the feasibility of using an emerging technology such as magnetic strips on paper/plastic cards, micro chips embedded in cards to transfer commodity information from a vessel to the lock data entry system.
