The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has the need to secure an applications analyst, non-personal professional services for assistance in the technology enhancement of the Navigation Data Centers (CEIWR-NDC) current Lock Performance Monitoring System (LPMS). These services will be provided to the NOC, Alexandria, VA. LPMS is currently a web based 9iAS/9iDS Oracle application. Data is entered locally by lock personnel via the web and edited online via PL/SQL and Javascript programs. The data will be migrated to Oracle 10g/AS/10gDS before the end of the calendar year. The Coast Guard has its own VTS/AIS system that requires designated vessels to carry an onboard transponder that transmits vessel identification information; valid callsign, length, width, GPS antenna position, MMSI (vessel number) and IMO number. 2. SCOPE. The Scope of this work is to provide the technical knowledge and support of the effort to enable the automatic collection and entry of selected data directly into the LPMS database. This capability is known as the Automatic Identification System Event Processor (AISEP). The work requires knowledge of the employment of all hardware, software and services in the area of OracIe database configuration and design, to both Intranetllnternet and screens for both data entry and reporting across the Corps of Engineers CEEIS backbone. This work must meet the CECI and ACE-IT security requirements. The knowledge shall include: Oracle 9iAS/9iDS and Oracle 10gAS/10gDS for Solaris 10 and Linux; Windows 2k/XPNista desktop and Linux; SQL; Windows 2003 server; Analytical SQL, Oracle Web tools including the Apache Listener; current versions of Oracle Developer and Designer; Oracle PU/SQL; Oracle Spatial; Oracle Map-viewer; Oracle APEX; HTML; XML; XSL; XSLT; KML; Javascript, Java; PERL, PERL DBI, MYSQL, AJAX and wireless protocol access; MS Access 2003; Location mapping services; CorpsGlobe mapping service and client.

(10%). b. Maintain and test the AIS data by refining programs that decode the encrypted data stream into data suitable for insertion into an Oracle database. The programs will be tested on the server at the New Orleans office and migrated to a Corps processing center when a server is designated. (100%) c. Refine LPMS API to supply timing data to the LPMS data entry application including the Arrival. Start of Lockage, Bow over Sill, End of Entry, Start of Exit and End of Lockage and other related times as defined in the LPMS system based upon AIS collected data in Task B for each lock. (5%) d. Refine geographic areas and business rules that correspond to each of the timing stations that occur during a lockage for the rest of the locks designated to participate; includes electronic survey at each lock to determine specific configurations. (10%) e. Incorporate custom overlays (navigation charts, etc.) into a viewer interface based on nautical charts in S57/S100 format converted to a kml file format.
