This is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial item prepared in accordance with the format in Subpart 12.6, as supplemented with additional information included in this notice. This announcement constitutes the ONLY solicitation. NO WRITTEN solicitation will be issued. This acquisition is unrestricted; the standard industrial classification code is 3699. The USCG, Portsmouth, VA has a requirement for seven (7) ECPINS V1.7 WLB/M Upgrade kits, Mfg. Offshore Systems International in accordance with the following specifications. ECPINS V1.73 Upgrade Specifications SCOPE The scope of work for this effort involves continuing enhancements to the Offshore System, Ltd (OSL) ECPINS Electronic Chart Display and Information System (ECDIS) to provide the functionality required to effectively position Aids to Navigation (ATON)> Additionally this effort will bring the ECPINS software baseline to the current commercial standard; update user documentation, training materials, factory acceptance test procedures; develop a system upgrade kit; replace the existing 1 GB Hard drive with an 8 GB Hard Drive; add OS/2 color printer drivers. The Juniper and Keeper Class Buoy Tenders are equipped with an OSL ECPINS to be used for navigation and ATON positioning. The system delivered was contractually compliant, but did not meet sponsors requirements and needs. This system does not comply with existing Coast Guard policy nor can it effectively position ATON. In 1997, the Coast Guard contracted OSL to develop software to bring OSL's ECPINs into compliance with COMDTINST M16500.1C ATON Positioning Manual. This software was delivered to and accepted by the Coast Guard in August 1997. Through operationally testing on board CGC Red Birch, several required changes and improvements were identified to be completely prior to full fleet implementation. This work will be follow-on effort to implement these changes and improvements. APPLICABLE DOCUMENTS COMDTINST M16500.1C; Aids to Navigation manual Positioning REQUIREMENTS The contractor shall enhance the Offshore Systems, LTD ECPINs to provide the following features and fuctionality, enabling the system to be used in the positions of ATON. -- Remove "Scan Disk for Charts" from VME menus. -- Change 11 screen layouts as detailed in Enclosure 1 -- Display in the status window when database subroutines finish running -- After running the "Found Fix" and "Set Fix" subroutines, automatically clear the pop-up window -- Record in the Database the model and serial numbers for the GPS and DGPS beacon receivers in use when "Found Fix" and "Set Fix" are selected and print numbers on all AORs IAW COMDTINST M16500.1C. -- Consolidate all three FID screen layouts into one, with a smaller chart window. -- Change buoy selection method. The buoy to be positioned will be selected by entering it's Aid Number. The selected buoy's AP will be the only AP displayed. -- After re-selecting a buoy or selecting a new buoy User Fix Data fields should default to the database values for the selected buoy. -- Add the capability to create new aid records within the buoy database -- Display total chain length in User Fix Data. This total should be calculated by adding data base values for chain segment one and chain segment two. -- Add "Man Overboard" and "Acknowledge Alarms" menu options to the "Buoy Operation" main menu -- Add ability to import more than one AAPS.aid file at a time -- Prevent system from allowing the chain length to be less than the water depth entered in User Fix Data. Indicate this error with a pop-up window that must be cleared before the user continues. In addition to the aid positioning features above the contractor shall implement, in the USCG's customized software, the following features found in OSL's commercial system: -- An ALARM HISTORY chart window layout showing a record of previous alarms -- Great Circle and Rhumb Line route planning support -- Exclusion Zone Alarms -- Selectable radar overlay over water -- Choice of radar colors -- ARPA Guard Zone Range -- Position adjustment for precise overlay of chart and radar. -- Quick display of point feature information -- Operator selectable auto-zoom capability -- Improved Kalman Filter -- Parallel Index lines -- Cursor Bearing EBL/VRM -- Time labeled markers dropped at regular intervals for position logging of won ship. -- Ability to turn position plot off to avoid clutter -- Route action points for turning position plotting on/off. -- Route action points for automatic erasure of position plot -- Data logs saved by time and date -- System alarms based on own ship outline, not sensor position -- Anchor watch alarm activated if the own ship goes outside a determined area.. -- Graphic anemometer vector -- Ability to disable cross track alarms and warnings -- Ability to change all default properties of a route leg -- Calculated route length displayed in current units -- ETA uses planned speed or speed made good -- Planned speed or speed madegood -- New parameters for cursor range readout in imperial units 0-1000 ft; display in feet up to 2000 yd: display in yards over 2000 yd; display in statute miles In support of the USCG ATON enhancements the following changes will be made to the Buoy Operations sub-menu order and names: -- SETUP -- SELECT BUOY -- HAZARD -- SHORT STAY<YES>NO (Note: show in the menu current status) -- Change Excursion -- Auxiliary Data} (Note: Change the name fro "user fix data" to "Auxiliary data") -- Found Fix -- Found Fix -- Edit Fix -- Re-Calc Fix -- Log Fix to DB<Auto Ptr> (Note: show current status of auto-print) -- Clear Fix -- Set Fix -- Set Fix -- Edit Fix -- Re-Calc Fix -- Log Fix to DB<Auto Ptr> (Note: show current status of auto-print) -- Clear Fix -- Log/Print APR -- Log fix to DB<Auto Ptr>(Note: show current status of auto-print) -- Print last logged APR -- Print last logged FID -- DB Status -- Last Status—Clear Status INSPECTIONS AND TEST The contractor shall perform inspections and tests in accordance with this statement of work, the existing standards for the WLB/WLM systems, the contractor's test plan, and standard industry practices. The contractor shall provide space, personnel, and test equipment necessary to conduct all inspection and testing requirements. Inspections and testing shall be performed at the contractor's facilities. The Coast Guard reserves the right to verify and witness any tests performed. The inspections required herein are the minimum required and are not intended to supplant any controls, examinations, inspections, or test normally employed by the contractor to assure quality of the product. Test plans, test procedures, technical documentation and test reports will be written in English. The contractor shall develop and have available for Coast Guard review a test plan, to include all inspections, tests and trials necessary to ensure the requirements of this contract are met.
