- Description
- The Bureau of Reclamation, Acquisitions Operations Group, Denver, Colorado, intends to negotiate on a sole-source basis with Colorado State University, Fort Collins, Colorado 80523 for support services to the Sedimentation and River Hydraulics Group (SRHG) of Bureau of Reclamation (Reclamation) on the development and application of hydraulic and sediment transport computer models to several Reclamation Projects. The Sedimentation and River Hydraulics Group (SRHG) of Bureau of Reclamation (Reclamation) is responsible for complex analyses of river processes and water operations. SRHG have developed one-dimensional and two-dimensional models of flow, sediment transport, and vegetation to analyze these processes. SRHG is also modeling vegetation response to specific hydraulic and sediment transport conditions using SRH-1DV. SRH-1DV is based upon the SRH-1D model with modules that track the establishment, growth, and mortality of riparian vegetation. Its methodologies are based upon the SED-VEG model which was used on the Platte River Recovery Implementation Program, Final Environmental Impact Statement. SRH-1DV will replace SED-VEG and several features of SED-VEG will be incorporated into SRH-1DV. These models require detailed knowledge of numerical modeling and river processes to apply. They also require frequent modification to address site specific conditions and to include the most current and accurate methods available. SRHG is requesting assisting in the development, maintenance, and application of these models to a variety of projects. Maintenance and development of SRH-1D requires intimate knowledge of the computer code and in the physical processes it is intended to simulate. It is for use on natural river systems that are highly complex and application of the model often requires modification of the code to address site specific conditions and to address each project's specific needs. SRH-1D now contains approximately 20,000 lines of code and was developed over a period of 10 years. Therefore, contractor must meet the following requirements: Demonstrated experience in the development of SRH-1D and SRH-1DV; Ph.D. level education in sediment transport and river hydraulics; and at least 2 years experience in the application of computer models to river hydraulics and sediment transport. Colorado State University, Department of Civil Engineering, Fort Collins, Colorado 80523 posses the required experience and qualifications to support this effort. The staff at Colorado State University has participated in the development of SRH-1D and has over 8 years of experience developing and applying the model. Competition is restricted to only one source per FAR 6.302-1. This procurement will be awarded using FAR Part 15 Negotiation procedures with an intended period of performance of twelve months. Anticipated award date is September 14, 2009. All responsible sources may submit a capability statement or proposal by 12:00 pm MST, August 28, 2009, which shall be considered by the agency. Responses to this notice shall submitted to Rob Brackett, Contract Specialist via email to rbrackett@usbr.gov.
