B -- ANALYSIS AND DESIGN PROCEDURES FOR STRUCTURES WITH PASSIVE AND SEMI-ACTIVE CONTROL DEVICES SOL 52SBNB9C1045 DUE 070199 POC Contracting Officer: Sandra Febach, (301)975-6326, POC: Marsha Rodgers (301)975-6398, Fax (301)963-7732 WEB: NIST Contracts Homepage, http://www.nist.gov/admin/od/contract/contract.htm. E-MAIL: NIST Contracts Office, Contract@nist.gov. The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has a requirement for a contractor to provide services for Analysis and Design Procedures for Structures with Passive and Semi-Active Control Devices. The Contractor shall 1) Perform a literature review on available seismic design procedures for structures with passive energy dissipation devices, 2) Develop analytical models for linear and nonlinear structures as well as available passive energy dissipation devices, 3) Use the developed models to investigate the adequacy of the current linear and nonlinear procedures for design of structures with passive energy dissipation devices, 4) Examine the influence of the different energy dissipation devices on the seismic performance of structures, 5) Develop improved linear and nonlinear procedures for design of seismic structures with passive energy dissipation devices, and 6) Compare developed procedures with available ones. The period of performance is for 12 months with two additional one year periods. Tasks during the optional periods are similar to those above only for semi-active control devices. F. O. B. Destination, Gaithersburg, Maryland. Evaluation criteria shall include past performance, technical merit and schedule compliance. Minimum qualifications for key personnel shall include: 1) Earned Ph. D in a field directly related to structural controls; 2) 2 -- 5 years of related research experience, and 3) U.S. Citizenship or Permanent Resident status. Key personnel are expected to perform all work at the NIST Gaithersburg, Md. Site. Interested parties may submit a proposal which shall be considered by the agency. Please fax requests for the solicitation package to 301-963-7732. See Numbered Note 26. Posted 05/03/99 (W-SN327016). (0123)
