63 -- SURVEILLANCE SYSTEM WITH INTERNET TRANSMISSION SOL FETC-RFI-98-001 POC Randolph R. Cooper, Contracting Officer (304) 285-4160; Mike Knaggs, Proj Engineer, 285-4926 E-MAIL: rcoope@fetc.doe.gov, rcoope@fetc.doe.gov. This is a sources sought synopsis to identify sources that could provide part or all of the eqipment and services described below for a surveillance system with Internet transmission capabilities. The project is to provide one camerta at each of three EPA Superfund clean up sites along with the necessary hardware and software to capture images, transmit the images via the Internet, displaly the images via a web page, and archive the images to a file server either at the DOE-FETC or the vendor's site. The hardware and software required may vary slightly based upon each vendor's approach. o A color camera with the zoom capability and resolution combination to provide a specific field of view and image quality shall be provided. The image qualify and field of view parameters will be site-specific. The camera shall be positionable either with integral positioning mechanisms to the camera or witha a separate pan and tilt base. Each camera shall be installed within a housing to protect the camera from severe weather. Certain remote sites may have a security issue possibly necessitating a bullet-proof housing. Also certain sites have existing utility poles which shall be utilized for the mounting of the camera. Where such utility poles do not exist, one shall be specified and installed according to the security issues of that site. o A site server computer shall be provided with the necessary hardware and software to receive the incoming image data from the camera, process the image to convert it to a jpeg file format, and transmit the processing image file across the internet via a modem connection. The site server shall either provide or interface with a separate component to control the position, zoom setting, resolution, etc, of the camera. This will allow the remote user to control the camera to obtain the desired images. o A local (or host) file server computer shall be provided with the necessary hardware and software to receive the incoming image files from the internet commection and archive the images to hard disk. The local server shall also be running the web server software necessary for the web page which will be used to access the images. The web server shall be configured to provide internet users with access to the images via a web page. The vendor shall also configure the web page using one of the major web browser programs. o Service shall be provided to maintain the installed systems and to provide long-term archiving of the digital image files. On a regular schedule, determined by the Govt, the files from a number of days, weeks, or months will be recorded onto compact discs for long-term archiving. Utility provisions shall also be made to provide power and telephone lines at each site. The Govt anticipates the project mission can be addressed by commercial or non-developmental items and services, and the purpose of this synopsis is to determine what capabilities the market place currently has. No requirement or solicitation presently exists. However, firms having the potential to satisfy the project mission outlined are requested to forward capability statements or catalogue information in that regard. Such expressions of interest should be sent to the address above within two weeks of the publication of this sources sought synopsis. Posted 09/15/98 (W-SN249936). (0258)
