- Description
- Seismic Sensing Kits. This is a Notice of Intent to Award a Sole Source Order to The R. T. Clark Companies, Inc., Oklahoma City, OK. The requirement is for 300 EA, SmartSolo Intrinsic Geological Unit (IGU) with accessories. To the knowledge of the USGS, R. T. Clark Companies is the only source capable of meeting all the described requirements below. The units must include: (1) contain internal 3-component (vertical and 2 horizontal) seismic sensors; (2) have internal 5-Hz natural frequency sensors, with a proven recording range from at least 4 seconds to 750 Hz. The sensor must have <0.1% distortion at 12 Hz (at angles of 0o � 10o), damping of 0.7, and sensitivity of 77 V/m/s or less; (3) have an internal battery that can be changed by the operator in the field; (4) have no external wiring; (5) contain an internal GPS system for timing (1 ppm) and location; (6) have timing accuracy of plus or minus 10 microseconds when GPS disciplined; (7) have 24-bit ADC resolution; (8) have operator-chosen sampling rates of 0.25, 0.5, 1,2, and 4 milliseconds; (9) have pre-amplifier gain from at least 0dB to 36dB in 6 dB steps; (10) have an operating temperature range of -40 o C to +70 o C or better; (11) have total harmonic distortion of < 0.0002% at 0dB gain or better; (12) be dust/waterproof to IP67 standard or better; (13) have data storage volumes of at least 64 GB; (14) weigh no more than 6 lbs. (including the geophone and internal battery); (15) have a battery operating life of at least 30 days when the temperature is 25o C and the sampling rate is 2-ms and battery life is up to 60 days for segmented recording; (16) have batteries than can be recharged in less than 6 hours; and (17) have a battery charging temperature range of +3 o C to +40 o C or better. Furthermore, the batteries must be chargeable separately from the sensor and data storage unit using small (16-unit or smaller) SmartSolo chargers, and data from the nodal seismographs must be downloadable using small (16 unit or smaller) SmartSolo data harvesters. Data Harvesting Racks and Battery Charging Racks must be capable of harvesting and charging, respectively, 16 nodes, and the racks must be compatible with SmartSolo software presently in the Government inventory. The purpose of this notice is to satisfy the requirements of FAR Subpart 5.2. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive quotes. However, all responsible parties may submit a quotation which shall be considered by the agency. No solicitation will be issued. A determination not to compete this action based upon responses received is in the sole discretion of the Government. Responses are due no later than 07/10/2020 1300 EDT. Response shall be submitted to Stewart Evans by email at sevans@usgs.gov. All responses shall be limited to 10 pages. No hard copies or submissions to FedConnect will be accepted. This requirement is subject to the availability of funds. NAICS 334519, Measuring and Control Device Manufacturing, 500 Employees. POC: Stewart Evans, sevans@usgs.gov.
