- Description
- The U.S. Geological Survey, Geology Discipline, Coastal and Marine Geology Team (USGS) is responsible for conducting research on coastal processes, coastal change, and coastal hazards. The Coastal Evolution: Process-based, Multi-scale modeling project intends to develop and apply numerical models to examine these issues on a wide variety of scales. The team requires the expertise of a contractor to assist with the development and application of state-of-the-art models to studies at prior, present, and future field sites. This will be a negotiated acquisition in accordance with (IAW) the procedures of Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Part 15. Full and open competition will be provided for. This acquisition is set aside for participation by small business concerns, under NAICS code 541620 - Environmental Consulting Services, for which the associated size standard is $6.5 million in average (last three years) annual revenue. The USGS is contemplating a contract with one base year and one option year. A brief description of the required services follows. The contractor shall: 1) Provide assistance with the modeling of coastal processes using the Delft3D and NearCoM models. The contractor should have experience with the model components, including FLOW, SWAN, REFDIF-S, and SHORECIRC. This includes the creation of both flow and wave modeling grids from bathymetric data, model calibration and validation, sensitivity studies, and visualizations of model output. 2) Compare field observations of waves, hydrodynamics, and morphological evolution to the predictions of numerical models. Time series and statistics of observed data shall be compared with model predictions. Model accuracy and errors shall be quantified. 3) Compare field observations of runup and swash. Time series images of runup and swash obtained from remote video monitoring will be utilized and compared to model predictions of run-up and water level due to wave setup and wind setup. 4) Compare field observations of shoreline change and morphological evolution of the nearshore region to model predictions. A methodology for applying model results to predict shoreline change will be developed and the results of simulations will be compared to recent observations using all terrain vehicles, personal watercraft, and remote imaging system. Complete specifications and required deliverables will be provided with the Request for Proposals, which is anticipated for release on or about 24 July 2006. For further information regarding this announcement, please contact Jeff Caravelli, Contracting Officer, at (916) 278-9341 or jcaravelli@usgs.gov. Numbered notes 1 and 26 apply.
