ERDC-CERL intends to award a purchase order on a sole source basis to Garick, Chris PA, DBA Garick Consulting Engineers in accordance with FAR 13.106-1(b)(1). The meter boxes must be manufactured leveraging previous knowledge, understanding, and lessons learned through work with both DMMS and Tactical Micro-grid projects, which only this vendor can provide within the required timeframe. Market research indicates that Garick, Chris PA is the only manufacturer that can provide the required DMMS metering boxes. 1. These boxes are required to monitor 3 phase power and provide measured and calculated power values such as voltage, current, power factor, power using commercially available off-the-shelf (COTS) sensors. The boxes shall provide auxiliary sensor inputs for other parameters of interest, such as temperature, liquid level, pressure, and other common sensor outputs. Each box must be able to communicate with a central collection point known as the "head-end unit" and provide all data at intervals not to exceed 15 seconds. Boxes must be designed to be touch-safe. Boxes must be rugged to allow moderate abuse in the field without loss of capability. The boxes shall communicate using 3eTI wireless radios. (The government currently owns and uses 3eTI radios for this program). a. Each box shall have class "L" connectors for power connections b.
