- The Bureau of Reclamation, Acquisition Operations Group, Denver, Colorado, intends to award on a sole-source basis to University of California, San Diego, 9500 Gilman Drive, Department 621, La Jolla, California, 92093-0621. The requirement is for a better analytical tool to predict the seismic lateral earth pressures for configurations that include groundwater effects, cohesion effects, non-horizontal zone effects and compaction/in-place density effects under various ground accelerations through the use of the UCSD large high performance outdoor shake table (LHPOST). The LHPOST has exclusive capabilities in the United States to perform large-scale dynamic testing of earth retaining structures. Specifically, the LHPOST enables large, full-scale testing of structures and soil-foundation-structure interacting systems using simulated near source ground motions. The LHPOST steel platen table design consists of a three-piece assembly with each assembly piece having plan dimensions of 13.3 feet by 25 feet giving a total shake table area of 40 feet by 25 feet. The vertical payload capacity of the shake table is 4.5 million pounds and the frequency bandwidth capability is 0-20 Hz. Competition is restricted to only one source per FAR 13.103-1(b)(1). This procurement will be awarded using FAR Part 12 Commercial Item procedures with an intended period of performance ending January 31, 2013. Anticipated award date is May 18, 2012. All responsible sources may submit a capability statement or proposal by 12:00 pm MST, May 11, 2012, which shall be considered by the agency.
