- Description
- The Association of Universities for Research in Astronomy, Inc. (AURA), acting as operator of the Gemini Observatory, is seeking a vendor to design, and possibly fabricate, a modification to its adaptive optics instrument to add tip, tilt and focus sensing capability to the instrument. A conceptual design has been completed. We will be seeking bids on three independent phases of the work as follows: (1) Complete the opto-mechanical design using the conceptual design as a baseline. This will include the selection and packaging designs for the optics, actuators for a tip/tilt mirror and an actuated linear stage and all miscellaneous hardware and brackets. The deliverables shall include the complete detailed design documentation and fabrication drawings for all parts. (2) All the work described in (1) above, plus the fabrication of all manufactured parts and the purchasing of all standard parts. (3) All the work described in (1) and (2) above, plus the assembly, integration and test of the entire system. The full requirements for this procurement, and instructions for submitting a bid, will be given in a Request for Proposals (RFP) to be released in the near future. Firms that are interested in receiving this RFP should email a request to Andrew Flach, Gemini Contracts Manager, at aflach@gemini.edu by no later than 9 August 2004. The subject line of the email should reference N241196 and the body of the email should include the your company?s name and address, and the email address, phone number, and fax number of a contact person at your firm. All requests will be acknowledged within 48 hours, so please call Andrew Flach at 520-318-8410 if you have not received an acknowledgment in this timeframe.
