Name Brand Justification for RM Young Wind Monitors Replacement Parts • The RM Young Models 05103 and 05103-45 Wind Monitors are the standard wind monitoring sensors used at CO-OPS environmental monitoring stations on the Atlantic coast below the Mason-Dixon Line, the Gulf of Mexico, the Caribbean, and throughout the Pacific. Implementing different sensors in place of the current sensors will result in additional cost and resources. Also, there will be resulting delay for testing, training, and purchase of support equipment. • Under the current CO-OPS operating system any environmental monitoring sensor that has not been previously approved must be subjected to a series of tests to ensure the quality of the data produced by that sensor and the durability of that sensor for the intended use. These tests usually include bench testing using controlled conditions and physical measurement, controlled environmental testing to check a sensor's reliability under different conditions, and long term comparison testing with accepted sensors at multiple real world locations. These tests and the analysis of the resulting data take a large amount of time, money, and resources to conduct. • These RM Young Models 05103 and 05103-45 Wind Monitors are tied to a series of data collection software and existing infrastructure and are replacements in kind due to a high consumable rate as a result of where they are positioned on piers, buoys, etc. • CO-OPS stations are designed for optimal performance of the RM Young Models 05103 and 05103-45 Wind Monitors. A change of sensor type will result in a need to redesign the existing stations to accommodate the new sensor. • CO-OPS cannot risk the possibility of new mounting hardware to be developed and purchased to mount a new sensor. • The data collection platforms at CO-OPS stations are programmed to collect data from the RM Young Models 05103 and 05103-45 Wind Monitors. If a new sensor is implemented additional cost for software development will be required. • Currently CO-OPS field personal and contractors are trained in the use and maintenance of the RM Young Models 05103 and 05103-45 Wind Monitors. Additional cost will incur from having to train field personal and contractors on the use and maintenance of a new sensor. • Using another type of sensor will require the purchase of additional equipment so that the field crews can support multiple sensor types in a given region. • CO-OPS also has the ability and necessary equipment to calibrate and repair the RM Young Models 05103 and 05103-45 Wind Monitors. If a new sensor is implemented new equipment for that sensor will need to be purchased and training will be needed for those tasked with this duty.
