Nature of Requirements:
Underwater high resolution Motion Sensor for a USBL pole mounted
system.
1) ADVANCE CONTRACT AWARD NOTICE (ACAN)
An ACAN is a public notice indicating to the supplier community
that a department or agency intends to award a contract for
goods, services or construction to a pre-identified supplier,
thereby allowing other suppliers to signal their interest in
bidding, by submitting a statement of capabilities. If no
supplier submits a statement of capabilities that meets the
requirements set out in the ACAN, or before the closing date
stated in the ACAN, the contracting officer may then proceed
with the award to the pre-identified supplier.
2) DEFINITION OF THE REQUIREMENT
Current NRCan data acquisition/information management onboard
Coast Guard vessels rely on the GPS antenna location onboard the
ship. While post processing of location is possible, there are
large errors introduced due to imprecise assumptions. An Ultra
Short Base Line (USBL) tracking system is required which will
deliver real-time XYZ tracking information for a variety of
science activities:
- Deep piston core locations up to 3000m to sample large scale
slump features.
- Shallow piston coring with targets from high resolution
multibeam, geophysical and sidescan surveys.
- Camera, video and ROV realtime seafloor deployments.
- Towed equipment: Sidescan, Huntec, and Airgun survey equipment
positioning.
- Accurate mooring location deployment.
Equipment Required:
A complete "USBL tracking system" consists of
- the USBL tracking system mounted on a side mount pole.
- External high resolution Motion Sensor mounted as near to the
transceiver as possible / co-located.
- Ship Gyro $HDT message (use existing)
- GPS $NMEA signal (use existing)
This procurement is for the external high resolution motion
sensor only.
3) CRITERIA FOR ASSESSMENT OF THE STATEMENT OF CAPABILITIES
(MINIMUM ESSENTIAL REQUIREMENTS)
Any interested supplier must demonstrate by way of a statement
of capabilities that its system equipment offering meets the
following minimum mandatory requirements:
Dynamic roll and pitch accuracy of 0.05°.
Data Resolution: Heave 1cm, Roll & Pitch 0.01°.
Subsea depth rating of 3000m.
TSS1 and user configurable outputs.
Power Requirement
