Description
Responses must be submitted no later than 10:00 A.M. (Mountain Standard Time), Monday, 28 July 2014. To evaluate the condition of the two weather surveillance Doppler radars and to upgrade the two systems to dual-polarization capability with modern, state-of-the-art components with sufficient quality of hardware, computer resources, and software. Please review the Performance Work Statement (PWS) in its entirety for requirement specifics. Extraction from the PWS: 3.1 X-Band radar evaluation: Complete evaluation of the operational status of the X-Band radar to include transmitter, receiver, UPS, pedestal/antenna/lift mechanism, electronics shelter, feedline, signal processor, and computer system and software. Provide evaluation report and quote for repairs (including all labor, travel, equipment, parts, etc.). Provide quote for upgrade to dual polarization 3.2 C-Band radar evaluation: Complete evaluation of the operational status of the C-Band radar to include transmitter, receiver, UPS, pedestal/antenna, tower/radome, feedline, signal processor, and computer system and software. Provide evaluation report and quote for repairs (including all labor, travel, equipment, parts, etc.). Provide quote to upgrade to dual polarization. 3.3 The Contractor shall upgrade Doppler radar capability to dual-polarization for C-Band radar system: The upgraded C-Band radar will include the following capabilities: Dual polarization including transmitting and receiving horizontal and vertical Doppler radar pulses including necessary upgrades to the antenna, pedestal, waveguide, rotary joints, etc. Maintain current operating frequency, maintain or exceed current transmitter power and range. State-of-the-art digital hardware and software to process the dual polarization signals (signal processor electronics and firmware). State-of-the-art computers that can run the latest software release to further process the dual polarization signals into meteorologically relevant quantities including, but not limited to, clutter filters, reflectivity factor, Doppler radial wind velocity, spectrum width, correlation coefficient, differential reflectivity, specific differential phase, hydrometeor classification, melting layer, dual polarization quantitative precipitation estimate, hail detection, and heavy rain detection. The system needs to run on the Red Hat Linux operating system. Remote control and monitoring capability across the DPG test network. Automatic scanning, manual scanning, and scheduling of preset and user-defined antenna scan patterns. Full suite of diagnostics and health status information. 3.5 The Contractor shall provide cost estimates for a four year extended warranty for both the C-Band and X-Band radar systems. The warranty cost estimate will provide pricing information for routine scheduled maintenance, hardware upgrades, software upgrades, and simple repairs. 3.6 The contractor shall report all contractor labor hours using the CMRA web site.
