Description

The Engineer Research and Development Center (ERDC), Hydraulics Laboratory requires research and development services in the area of hydrodynamic numerical modeling of vessels (ships, boats, and tows) for navigation studies. Examples of the work required include, but are not limited to, analytical or empirical development of or improvements to numerical models of project design vessels; development of or improvements to numerical models of ship/tow simulator design vessels using physical scale models of vessels in a towing tank facility, preferable equipped with a large amplitude planar motion mechanism; analytical, physical or empirical development of or improvements to numerical models of vessels which can not be modeled accurately with the thin ship/strip theory approach; development of site specific simulator databases such as visual scenes and DCBs (depth-current-bank); and providing technical consultation and correspondence for implementation of numerical models. The Contracts office intends to award a firm fixed-price indefinite delivery indefinite quantity contract for a base period with four (4) additional one year option periods.
