- Description
- The Navy requires technical support to further develop/upgrade the ESS module. In 1996, the Defense Environmental Security Corporate Information Management (DESCIM) Program Management Office (PMO) embarked on an effort to identify and migrate appropriate software systems to the target solution known as the Defense Explosives Safety Management Suite (DESMS). DESMS consists of five distinct software modules that ultimately will function together as one seamless system. One module is Explosives Safety Siting (ESS) module. The Service Subject Matter Experts published an Integration Decision Paper (IDP) addressing the state-of-the-art for automated site planning and recommending migration towards the ESS applications. Subsequently they published an ESS System/Subsystem Specification (SSS) during 1998. These documents were updated resulting in an approved ESS System Decision Paper (SDP) dated January 2003. The ESS System Accreditation for Version 5.0 was approved in May 2003. Scope of Work. This effort is to upgrade the ESS software to make it compatible with the current information systems technology. The upgraded system must be compatible with Microsoft Windows technology (e.g.. Active-X Data Objects, graphical user interface standards) so it can be used on ESS user community workstations. Also compatibility with Environmental Systems Research Institute (ESRI) geographic information systems (GIS) technology is necessary to interface with the GIS applications used by the host military installation mapping systems. Finally, the ESS architecture must be flexible so the software can be configured to meet the local information system operating environments. This flexibility is achieved by implementing the n-tier architecture concepts so ESS can be configured as a very thick client (personal workstation), thick client (client-server), or as a thin client (web browser). The scope is to lay the foundation for this architecture, while focusing on the personal workstation and enterprise client-server modes. The current version of ESS will be used as the prototype. The database model contains configuration, code, algorithm control, map feature, and administrative data tables. The software contains data retrieval and update procedures, explosives safety business rules and procedures, system interface procedures and user interface procedures. The database /software are the fundamental documentation for the current capability of the application. User/training manuals, and development historical documents supplement the fundamental documentation. This prototype clearly defines the functional requirements for the new version. The new version of ESS shall maintain the functionality of the prototype while updating its information technology and processing efficiency and reliability. The ESRI Geodatabase technology shall be implemented so ESS can use this technology in a personal or enterprise mode. The latest version of the ESRI ArcObjects component will be used for the GIS engine and the spatial analysis engine. The Microsoft .NET Framework (i.e. Visual Basic .NET, ADO.NET, Fortran.NET, etc.) shall be used. The system shall also be capable of using the commonly used relational data base engines. It must use Microsoft Access, Oracle, and SQL Server via ADO.NET (versions are identified in paragraph 7). The user interface shall conform to the Microsoft Windows standard. This means the functionality of the forms and controls must be compatible with the user experience associated with Microsoft products (e.g. Word, Excel, etc.) The Visual Basic .NET controls are expected to be adequate to accomplishing this user experience objective. Documents produced by ESS (e.g. text, graphic, tabular) shall be compatible with other applications (e.g. Microsoft Word and Excel, AutoCAD). Potential MapObjects reverse compatibility strategy is required. Compatibility is accomplished using a setup/install procedure option or an alternate method approved by the government. The intent is to optionally install ESS so it will use dynamic link libraries associated with ESRI MapObjects rather than ArcObjects. The focus is only the use of ArcObjects dynamic link libraries. However, the current source code revision shall be accomplished in a manner that will facilitate extending, when required, the source code to support optionally using MapObjects dynamic link libraries. With this feature, one version of the source can be maintained while providing for installing either an ArcObjects or a MapObjects version. Reference to ArcObjects in this document implies providing appropriate features to support this MapObjects option. Maintainability of the new version is critical. The prototype version shall be analyzed to identify procedures that can be encapsulated more rigorously. The result will be code, including queries, which can be modified without degrading the application. Additional software engineering approaches to achieving a robust maintainability objective are encouraged. The new version of ESS shall include upgrades of all components necessary to compile and create executable applications. The ESRI ArcObjects and Microsoft ADO.NET components have previously been specified. Additional components are used to create the prototype. All components shall be upgraded if appropriate upgrades exist. Alternatively, while maintaining the functionality of the new version (e.g. documents produced) new technology can be substituted with the approval of the government. The Generic Base data set will be used during development and for final acceptance. Solutions produced with ESS version 6.0 will be compared to solutions produced by the prototype. The quality of the two solutions shall be comparable. The contractor shall continue the evolution of ESS to target solution version 6.0. To do this the contractor shall provide a fixed level-of-effort support. NFESC will reserve the right to focus the contractor?s efforts as necessary. The delivery schedule for this work is seven (7) months after award. Any other interested party, other than incumbent contractors, must submit their interest by 16 June 2006 of their capability to meet this schedule and for additional information.
