Tethered Profiling System The NOAA Chesapeake Bay Office (NCBO) is implementing ecosystem based resource management activities in Chesapeake Bay through habitat restoration, assessment, and monitoring. New environmental monitoring and observation techniques are being developed through NCBO as contributions to the US Integrated Ocean and Coastal Observation System (IOOS). This procurement will address NCBO?s need to develop a continuous, real-time reporting, shallow water, tethered profiling water quality and optical property measurement instrument for rapid, extended deployments in locations under study for assessment or restoration. The instrument must also meet the shallow water monitoring needs of the Chesapeake Bay Program, be compatible with other systems used in the Chesapeake bay Observing System, be capable of collecting optical measurements for validation of MODIS satellite algorithms (NCBO operates a NESDIS COASTWATCH node), and be flexible in its capability to add new sensors. System must be available for testing before November of 2005 and for full deployment in Summer of 2006. The contractor shall deliver a compact, low power autonomous bottom-up tethered profiling system which will provide a cost-effective solution for monitoring key water quality parameters in estuarine and nearshore environments. The tethered profiler should be a modular, self-contained, winch-driven profiling platform with an integrated control system, a power system, and a telemetry unit. The tethered profiler must be designed to carry a number of physical, optical and biological sensors. Deliverable 1 ? System specification document. A detailed document describing the intended operation, configuration, use, and software of the profiler system is required. Reviewed and approved by NOAA NCBO Sixty days after contract initiation. Deliverable 2 ? Demonstration of a prototype system. A prototype system will be deployed in waters near NCBO facility to demonstrate the profiling capabilities and to provide an opportunity to comment on the design. This demonstration should in the Chesapeake Bay in the early fall of 2005 and will be coordinated with NCBO. NCBO will provide ship support for deployment and recovery of the system. Deliverable 3 ? Completed system, with water quality monitoring sensing suite. Delivery will be in spring to summer of 2006. This includes the following: ? Instrument platform components (frame, shell, winch system, rope, etc). ? Water quality sensor suite including turbidity, chlorophyllA, cDOM ? Fast response CTD and optical dissolved oxygen sensor ? Battery pack and batteries for system. Deliverable 4 ? Telemetry system integration for instrument. Customer specified as one of the following: wireless radio, cellular, or satellite modem. Customer will supply the system with integration completed by the contractor. Deliverable 5 ? Training and assistance with initial deployment of the system in summer 2006.
