Quantity: 1 EA Description TITLE: Trawl-resistant acoustic doppler current profiler platform with gimbal General Description of Requirements The United Stated Environmental Protection Agency?s National Health and Environmental Effect Research Laboratory ? Gulf Ecology Division is engaged research projects in Gulf of Mexico estuaries and on the continental shelf of the Gulf of Mexico which require deployment of an acoustic doppler current profiler (ADCP) on the seafloor. The instrument to be deployed is an RDI Instruments, Inc. Workhorse Monitor ADCP equipped with an external battery back. A gimbal is needed to ensure that the ADCP will be pointed directly upward. We plan to deploy at times and locations that will minimize exposure to trawling, but moderate trawling resistance is needed. The ADCP platform will be deployed from small vessels (e.g., 25' outboard), and therefore its weight in air must be low enough to be handled by several people. It may be lowered and retrieved by a lifting harness, or deployed by divers. Specifications The ADCP platform shall: accommodate and securely mount an RSI Instruments, Inc. Workhorse Monitor ADCP and accompanying RDI Instruments external battery pack. be equipped with a 2-axis gimbal to ensure vertical orientation of the ADCP. have a shape and dimension that ensures the platform is stable on soft-sediments in potentially strong tidal currents. have a shape, dimension and level of strength that affords moderate trawl-over resistance. have a closed or grated bottom to facilitate in deployment on very soft bottoms. shall weigh less than 150 pounds in air, but may include removable ballast that, when installed, would increase the weight in air. weigh at least 100 pounds when deployed in the water (including ballast, if included). be constructed of marine-grade materials resistant to corrosion in a warm-, salt-water environment. not include ferrous metal components that would interfere with the internal compass of an ADCP. The following provisions apply: 52.212-1 - Instruction to Offerors ? Commercial ? 52.212-2 - Evaluation of Commercial items The evaluation for this procurement will be based on technical, price and past performance. 52.212-3 - Offeror Representations and Certifications ? Commercial Items (offer must include a completed copy of this provision.) The following clause applies: 52.212-4 Contract Terms and Conditions ? Commercial Items For copies of the provisions, clauses or standard form 18, please contact the Contracting Officer listed below.
