D -- PROGRAMMING SERVICES IN ORACLE, C, C++, JAVA, AND EARTHWORM ARCHITECTURE SOL 99CRQQ0133 DUE 033199 POC Marilyn Hutchison, Purchasing Agent, 303-236-5900, X327, FAX 303-236-2710 E-MAIL: USGS, Central Region, Office of Acquisition and Federal, mhutchi@usgs.gov. The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) has a requirement for enhancement of the USGS rapid earthquake notification system through the integration of the existing Earthworm real-time processing system with the ORACLE Database Management System (DBMS). In Phase I, feasibility evaluated various DBMS products, chose the ORACLE DBMS, and executed performance measurements. In Phase II, a functioning prototype real-time DBMS system was completed. Two critical tasks are required to implement the Phase III DBMS: 1) Real-time Earthquake Schema Design; and 2) Earthquake post-processing and tracing system with a graphical interactive timing interface. The work requires an in-depth knowledge of network seismology, experience in developing earthquake processing systems, in-depth knowledge of ORACLE, C, C++ and JAVA programming, and the Earthworm architecture. Performance period is for eight (8) months from 5/1/99 through 12/31/99. Interested parties may obtain a copy of the Request for Quotation by contacting Marilyn Hutchison, Purchasing Agent, at (303) 236-5900, ext. 327, or via fax at (303) 236-2710. Responses to the RFQ will be due on or about March 31, 1999. See Note 1. Posted 03/16/99 (W-SN309170). (0075)
