Description

Furnish all labor, equipment, materials, and supplies as necessary to provide scientific and engineering technical and industrial support in the performance of specific tasks in connection with ongoing and proposed research efforts within the U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center (ERDC). The scope of work shall include: field sampling, laboratory processing, data analysis, engineering services and quality assurance; as well as the non-technical support functions associated with these major areas of applied research. Typical data collection may include directional and non-directional wave height, mean and oscillatory flow speed and direction, tide and other long wave heights, over land and over sea wind speed and direction, barometric pressure, air and sea temperature, salinity/conductivity, and bathymetry. Other services may include instrument positioning and locating, topography mapping, graphic digitizing, digital drafting, and laboratory analysis. USA-ERDC provides services to all of the CE Districts and Divisions as well as many other governmental entities and private corporations, therefore project locations could be worldwide. A contractor would be expected to acquire and analyze oceanographic data and hydrographic data; collection sites will be nationwide. The scope of work provided the Contractor with each delivery order will identify the data required, the instrument types to be used, and the analysis techniques to be employed. Some collection efforts require specialized instrumentation to be built, tested, and fielded to acquire unique information at the project site. Some applications might require the construction of test structures; ex. marine breakwater systems, scale physical models of hydraulic structures, and marine craft modifications. Other requirements may include: maintenance and repair of instruments and systems, accountability for Government furnished equipment, preparation of progress and data reports, shipping and receiving of instrument and system calibration, preparation of reports required by regulatory agencies, and preparation of system documentation. It is anticipated that a firm, fixed-price, Indefinite Delivery, Indefinit Quantity (IDIQ) contract will be awarded, with a performance period of one (1) year, to inlcude options for four (4) additional years.
