- Description
- The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), Engineer Research and Development Center (ERDC), Cold Regions Research and Engineering Laboratory (CRREL) intends to award a contract on a sole source basis to Cold World Consulting LLC upon the basis of the authority provided at FAR 13.106-1 (b)(1). • ERDC-CRREL requires installation of CRREL-owned sensors: a) hygrometer and b) snow height sensor (24 hr). Mount Campbell Scientific KH20 Krypton Hygrometer next to an existing RM Young 81000 3D sonic anemometer on an arm on the southwest platform corner. Prepare additional RM Young 81000 as a backup to the existing anemometer, which is now 9 years old. Install Lufft SHM31 laser snow depth sensor on a platform boom 6.2 m above the ground, extending to the south. These locations are suitable for unobstructed measurement of sensible/latent heat fluxes and snow height. Update CRBasic programs on two Campbell CR3000 loggers already on site for new instrumentation. This will specifically require programming instructions for high frequency (10 Hz) concurrent measurements of water vapor from the KH20 and wind components from the RM Young 81000. Photo document new mounts, and deliver documentation on changes to current data logger software configuration. Validation of the KH20 measurements will occur according to procedures outlined in Section 6 of the KH20 manual. Validation of the RM Young 81000 measurements will occur using a nearby RM Young 5103 propeller vane anemometer. • Design and install an automatic winch system for the current adjustable downlooking radiometer boom (16 hr). Identify hardware for installation of winch step motor; supplies to install on current manually adjustable radiometer boom. Test and evaluate capability to remotely engage to move vertical placement of boom above snow surface. Report on design, methods and instruction for operation. • General snow site and database maintenance and upgrade. o Website and database updates and revisions (16 hr). o Cleaning up data logger wiring using ferrules. Logger wiring is messy and some needs replacement (16 hr). o Conduit replacement & housing of all cables in conduit. Some cabling runs up "Santa Hatch" and in other places that is not ideal. All cables need to be routed through conduit (32 hr). o Lysimeter pan replacement and maintenance. Ongoing replacement of degraded plastic lysimeter pans with stainless steel (24 hr). Maintain/repair tipping bucket mechanisms and sensors. o Decontamination from mice at storage locker. Needs to be cleaned out (8 hr). o Replacement of site computer (8 hr). o Replace radiometers across entire site w/ calibrated units from CRREL, total of 7 (8 hr). o Replace prop vane anemometer on platform w/ calibrated unit from CRREL (4 hr). o Replace temp/RH sensor on platform w/ calibrated unit from CRREL (2 hr). o General cleanup of trash and debris from around site, maintain perimeter rope, cleaning of webcam dome (8 hr). o Touch up paint on bunker where needed (8 hr) The associated North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code is 541690, which has a size standard of $15 million.
