The requirements are to be provided in accordance with the following: STATEMENT OF WORK Refurbish Electronic Fish Measuring Boards Period of Performance: September 3, 2013 to February 1, 2014 Introduction The Southeast Region Headboat Survey (SRHS) has used Limnoterra Fish Measuring Boards (FMBs) since the early 1990's. FMBs are used to collect length and weight measurements of fish landed in the headboat fishery in the U.S South Atlantic and Gulf of Mexico. Limnoterra no longer offers new FMBs or support for existing FMBs. This contract will involve refurbishing and upgrading 6 existing FMBs. Background The Limnoterra digital FMB provides a platform to capture fish lengths and related data using a built in ruler, touchpad and communications ports. For this application the utility of ports are to communicate with PCs and digital scales. These FMBs are portable, battery operated, waterproof units capable of storing data on a microprocessor using internal software (firmware). The FMBs are currently only compatible with Windows XP. This created a problem with computer software upgrades to Windows 7 (64 bit version). FMBs currently depend on serial port connections for data transfer to desktop and laptop PCs. Many laptops no longer have serial ports which has limited connectivity with the FMBs. Project Scope Objective Refurbish 6 existing Limnoterra Fish Measuring Boards including upgrading components to specifications listed: Requirements 1. Must be compatible with Windows 7 (64 bit) operating systems 2. FMBs must be able to store data internally with the capability to transfer data to a PC using a USB port via flash drive or cable connection. 3. Replace re-chargeable batteries with new batteries that meet or exceed FMB specifications. 4. FMBs must perform all original functions: record trip information, length (total and fork), receive weight from scale, and record all biological samples. All touchpad keys, including letter and number keys, must be functional. 5. Measuring line must be capable of measuring in 2 mm increments up to 950 mm. 6. Must communicate with Doran scale via RS-232 through USB connection 7. FMBs must output data in csv file. 8. New FMB software must provide platform to allow for changes to the data fields by SRHS staff. 9. The FMB must be waterproof to at least 1 meter. This includes all ports, connections and hardware. 10. FMB internal electrical connections, transistors and sensors must be cleaned, checked and replaced as needed. 11. Clean exterior and repair any damage that would jeopardize waterproofness. 12. Pick up or shipping will be the responsibility and expense of the vendor. Schedule ID Activity Description Planned Start 1 Task 1 Contractor will pick up or make arrangements for SRHS to ship FMBs to desired location. 09/13 2 Task 2 Contractor will begin to refurbish FMBs based on full understanding of technical specifications. 09/13 3 Task 3 Contractor will test FMBs for readiness and complete check list provided by SRHS staff. 01/14 4 Task 4 Contractor will deliver 6 fully operational refurbished FMBs 02/14 IT SECURITY REQUIREMENTS: The Certification and Accreditation (C&A) or Assessment and Authentication (A&A) requirements of Clause 48 CFR 1352.239-72 do not apply, and a Security Accreditation Package is not required.
