This is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial items 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; proposals are being requested and a written solicitation will not be issued.

ACOUSTIC HYDROGRAPHIC MULTIBEAM


Minimum Performance Requirements:

Multibeam shall consist of dual frequencies of 200 KHz and 400 kHz to allow for accurate seafloor coverage at varying depths up to 100 meters.
Multibeam shall have capability of up to or better than .5 degrees by 1 degree beams dynamically focused to maximize accuracy and area coverage.
Multibeam shall have a minimum swath of 140 degrees. Required to maximize the swath coverage resulting in reduced fuel consumption for the surveys.
Beam spacing shall consist of equiangular or equidistant to insure maximum accuracy.
Multibeam shall consist of Real-Time bathymetry display to ensure proper data recording and eliminating repeated surveys.
Multibeam shall consist as a minimum of 256 dynamic focused beams per ping resulting in high density soundings ensuring accurate surveys. Also increases the amount of survey data collected in the survey area for modeling.
Maximum update rate shall consist of at least 50Hz to maximize accuracy.
Exports beam-formed imagery data required for after survey data processing. Required for quality control of data being collected and processed.
Depth resolution shall be 5mm or greater required for after survey data processing.
Pulse length shall be 50 to 300 micro seconds to maximize accuracy.
Depth rating shall be a minimum of 100 meters to insure threshold accuracy needed for deep waters of survey operation areas.
System shall be integration capable with Hypack/Hysweep data collection and process software currently used by Seattle District.
Processors shall be located at vessels topside to allow for ease of access to processor modules and eliminates the need of vessel dry docking if and when module repairs are needed. The vessel Shoalhunter is an Ocean going vessel that would require Dry Docking if an embedded processor has problems. Districts experience with past survey equipment, including multibeam, is that the processor is most likely to have problems.
System shall be capable of pole or hull mounting with minimum or no modifications to current survey vessels platform equipment.
Equipment shall be tested after installation to insure proper operation.
Upon completion of successful operational testing, equipment operation training shall be provided to a minimum of two (2) and a maximum of four (4) personnel to ensure proper use of equipment.
Installation and training shall be conducted at Hoquiam, Grays Harbor County, WA
