B -- REAL-TIME OPERATIONS MODEL FOR FOLSOM DAM POC Bill Pennington (916) 978-5237 The Bureau of Reclamation (Reclamation) has implemented a real-time operations model for the operation of Folsom Dam, located on the American River, near Sacramento, California. The model is coupled with a revised and updated implementation of the SS-SAC Operation of the National Weather Service River Forecast System (NWSRFS) that was developed for the NWS California-Nevada River Forecast Center. Further enhancement of the SS-SAC Operation will be necessary for full operation implementation of the Folsom Lake forecast and operating system. The estimated amount of this acquisition is between $25,000 and $100,000. Under the authority of FAR 6.302, Reclamation intends to award a purchase order on a noncompetitive basis to Hydrologic Research Center, San Diego, California, who has been involved in previous development of the model. Interested persons may identify their interest and capability to respond to the requirement or submit proposals. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals. However, all proposals received within 10 days after the date of publication of this synopsis will be considered by the Government. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed award based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. Information received will normally be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. Posted 08/14/98 (W-SN237443). (0226)
