70 -- DATABASE SOFTWARE SOURCES SOUGHT DUE 062199 POC Diana Ramirez, Program Analyst, Environment, Safety and Health Division, 510/637-1701; Contracting Officer, Tyndal LIndler 510/637-1885 E-MAIL: tyndal.lindler@oak.doe.gov, diana.ramirez@oak.doe.gov. This is not an announcement of a requirement that currently exists instead it is a request for information from sources that supply the following services. This announcement does not, in any way, commit the Government to procure any services described in this announcement. The U. S. Department of Energy, Oakland Operations Office (OAK) is conducting market research to identify potential sources to determine the availability of commercial software to be used to establish an Environmental, Safety and Health (ES&H) database for OAK. The database will serve approximately up to 150 users, with the majority having data entry requirements and the balance having only read-only access. The database will be used to track, trend, and analyze information that results from ES&H activities at the Oakland Operations sites: the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL), the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL), and the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center (SLAC). The information in the database will be obtained from ES&H appraisals, surveillances, walkthroughs, observations and information meetings in over fifty (50) ES&H disciplines. An important feature will be the ability for users to easily input data, track activities and corrective actions, analyze data (e.g., trending, statistical, causal factor analyses) and to generate reports and graphs (i.e., ad hoc queries and structured reports) with customized printing capabilities. Another important feature is that this application be web-capable. Additionally, there are "links" among the various data records that will be essential for the tracking, trending, and analysis requirements. Data entry will occur at four separate sites (i.e., OAK located in Oakland, LLNL located in Livermore,CA LBNL located in Berkeley,CA and Stanford Linear Accelerator Center- SLAC located in Menlo Park,CA) which is supported at this time on LAN. The interface with the users must be user friendly, responsive, and timely. Desktop platforms are primarily PCs utilizingWindows 95/97 and NT. OAK supports approximately 430 Federal and Contract users on Windows NT 4.0 and Windows '95 desktops running the Microsoft Office 97 suite. The network consists of an Ethernet 10/100 switched environment running the Novell 4.11 Network Operating system. Primarily, Compaq servers are used to support a variety of network applications and accommodate LAN /WAN access to users located at the OAK office, Lawrence Livermore site office, Berkeley site office and the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center. Additionally, Windows NT is run on several Compaq servers for the Microsoft Exchange 5.5 and Fenestrae Faxination applications. Oracle 7.0 applications will run on Compaq 6500 servers with a minimum of 1GB RAM, approximately 25 -60GB of Hard Drive with RAID 5 SCSI Controllers and a Fast Ethernet network card. Any information submitted in response to this sources sought request will not be returned. Vendors having the capabilities necessary to meet or exceed the stated requirements are invited to submit appropriate documentation, experience, literature, necessary hardware requirements and references along with a point of contact, address and phone number. Interested parties have 15 days from the publication date of this synopsis to submit descriptions of their capability to meet this requirement. Parties should also submit the standard contractual terms and conditions under which they supply these services to other organizations, as well as basic pricing information. Please include your business size and organization type in your response. A solicitation does not exist, therefore, do not request a copy of the solicitation. If a solicitation is released, it will be synopsized in the CBD at a later date. It is the potential offerors responsibility to monitor this site for the release of any solicitation or synopsis. This synopsis is for information and planning purposes only and is not to be construed as a commitment by the Government nor will the Government pay for information solicited or submitted. Please submit this information to: U. S. Department of Energy, Oakland Operations Office (ESHD), 1301 Clay Street, Oakland, CA 94612-5208, Attn: Diana Ramirez, Program Analyst.
