- Description
- The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), Earthquake Hazards Program, requires a near-real-time, low-cost, low-maintenance; Internet-capable strong-motion system that records earthquake ground motion from tri-axial accelerometers ("the appliance") and associated server software. This is an announcement of an RFP for proposals for the appliance and software. The recording instruments will have a dynamic range of ~90 dB for extensive urban deployments where the cultural noise level is relatively high. The USGS envisions installing urban arrays of 500 to 1000 or more appliances with spacing of ~100 to 1000 meters to operate at low cost for ~10 years, utilizing the extensive Internet infrastructure in urban areas to minimize telemetry costs. The appliance will have built-in wireless Ethernet hardware to allow access to wireless routers operating in residences and offices; automatically forward event waveforms, parametric data, and health messages to a server via the Internet; store event waveform and parametric data indefinitely if connection is lost until reestablished; initiate all connections to the operator's server to transmit information; utilize a Linux OS; and be easily serviceable by hosts of the appliance. Detailed mandatory and desired specifications and evaluation criteria will be given in the RFP. The USGS expects to award a single fixed-price requirements-type contract for one year commencing date of award with 4 options to extend for one year; contract period NTE 5 years. Initial order: up to 50 units, including 3 units for first article testing within 9 months after award. RFP will be issued o/a 8/7/06 on the NBC website but proposals must be submitted to the address to be shown on the RFP. Send questions about the requirement to the contracting officer at pmichel@usgs.gov. See Note 26.
