- Description
- Description: Updating Corps of Engineers Water Management System Modules It is the intent of the Government award custom computer programming requirement for a $2,000,000 Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (ID/IQ) Contract. These water management programs are generally part of the Corps Water Management System (CWMS). CWMS is a combination of hardware, software, and communication resources which will enhance the capability of USACE water management offices nationwide to make well informed decisions for managing reservoirs and water control systems. It will standardized software across all USACE offices and will have a corporate database. CWMS 2.1 was released for deployment nationwide in July 2012 and is an official Army AIS Class IV System. Continued updates/development of CWMS is required to incorporate the functions from legacy applications. This action is being performed with the support of the Hydrologic Engineering Center (HEC), the primary water management software developer for USACE. This project is for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Fort Worth District, Tulsa District, Little Rock District, and Galveston District Reservoir Control offices. The services sought are for continuing development on water management utility applications such as the Multi-Parameter Visualization Tool (MPVT), the replacement for the legacy application ViewRain, and hydrologic modeling software such as HEC-HMS the replacement for the legacy application HEC-1. These programs will be used in the performance of water management's mission such as making daily reservoir operational decisions, forecasting reservoir pool levels, and collecting hydrologic data; water management's mission is to maximize the economic benefits of USACE flood control projects which results in meeting organizational goals of protecting private property and the prevention of loss of life due to flooding. All applications developed will be integrated into CWMS; legacy applications are increasingly difficult to support on new computer hardware, updated operating systems, and maintain Information Assurance (IA) compliance requirements. Modifications to utility programs include enhancing MPVT's hydrologic studies functions such as depth/area/duration, probable maximum storm functions, and the transfer of data between MPVT and HMS to determine a design storm critical size/centering/orientation. A background in hydraulic engineering, hydrology, and geographical information data is required. The contract will also involve travel and participation in meetings regarding the initiatives. The project is a multi-phase collaborative effort expected to take up to 3 years to complete and is a follow on contract for the continued development of these applications. This IDIQ will be for 3 years from contract award not to exceed $650,000. The contractor may be needed to attend numerous meetings, provide monthly status reports, sample reports, and update thousands lines of code (Codes include Fortran, C/C++, VBA, and Java) and GIS data. Interested companies shall respond to this notice by providing the following information: 1) Company Name, 2) Address, 3) Point of Contact information with telephone number and email address, 4) Cage Code, 5) Capabilities information/statement showing that the company has the ability to fulfill the Government requirement as described herein 6)Small Business Representation Certifications (NAICS 541511 Size Standard $25.5M). The contractor shall be able to comply with all requirements described herein to be considered capable. This is NOT a request for proposals or quotations. Information received will normally be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. Firms intending to provide submittals must submit detailed information indicating their ability to meet the Government's requirements. All inquiries must be received by 1 PM CST on May 16, 2013.
