The NAICS code for this procurement is 334515. The estimated contract cost is between $500,000 and $1,000,000. The contract is planned to be issued on or about 1 May 2016 and the contract performance period is 5 years. NAE has over 375 DCP stations in use in its Dam Safety Sections. One third of all DCP's are currently using Campbell Scientific equipment and Multilogger Suite 2015 software. This equipment is only half-way through its usable life-cycle. Therefore, manufacturers/suppliers interested in providing New DCP's shall also be capable of providing repair services, firmware/bug support to Campbell DCP's & Multilogger software along with custom programming as noted below. New DCP' equipment shall be capable of communicating with Campbell's product line using PACKBUS, and other protocols used by Campbell equipment. New DCP manufacturers/suppliers will have to demonstrate full compatibility with the existing equipment currently in service both in writing and through reproducible benchmark testing across product lines. Software is a significant backbone of any data collection and dissemination system. NAE uses Multilogger suite 2015 software extensively, its database, and plotting capabilities for one piece of software controlling all programming, retrieval, storage, and display/dissemination/web portal using ML Web. Therefore, manufacturers/suppliers interested in providing equipment and services shall have to have capability and specified experience with Multilogger Sutie, and all its components. Repair services for existing DCP equipment, estimated to be up to 25% of contract volume shall be provided by same vendor providing new DCP's. Repair services shall consist of electronic circuitry/soldering/physical repairs to existing CR800, CR1000, AVW200, AVW206, RF401 & RF401(a) radios, and Canary & Campbell Scientific Multiplexers. Successful vender shall also provide vibrating wire sensors and coordinate repairs with their manufacturer at Tier 1 Customer Pricing. Repairs services shall be competitive with existing rates, and shall not exceed 50% of the cost of a new DCP. Repair services also consist of software and firmware support to the product lines noted above. Firmware support consists of complimentary troubleshooting and repair of problems/bugs found during installation and configuration of DCP's in the field with existing and new sensor technologies currently on the market. Software support consists of supporting NAE existing data collection software and database system, based on Multilogger/Multilogger DB/ML Web software as noted above. Software services will be estimated to be up to 25% of the contract for programming and custom solutions depending on support to NAE and other Corps Districts that NAE supports with its personnel and field services. Interested firms should submit a capabilities package to include the following: business classification qualifications and experience in the work requirements stated above; and provide 5 project examples using this type of equipment and software that have been performed over the last seven years.
