Title: Simulation of launch and recovery of small craft
including cable collisions and cable tension from
deck personnel

1. An Advanced Contract Award Notice (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, on
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 requirement

DRDC Atlantic has a requirement for a software library and
associated application for realistic simulation of launch and
recovery of small craft from ships. The software library must
be able to simulate the following components of a launch and
recovery system:

Winch, including modelling of drum inertia and braking friction,
Boom crane, including modelling of control system, motions, and
loads,
Towing cable, including modelling of motions, tension, torsion,
and collisions with other objects,
Payload, including modelling of motions, hydrodynamic forces,
and collisions with other objects.
Simplified model of cable handling by deck personnel using a
simple winch model at a fixed location on a ship.

Furthermore, the contract will develop a simulation of the
following:

A naval frigate launching and recovering a small vessel using a
crane and two deck personnel at a fixed location on the ship.

3. Criteria for assessment of the Statement of Capabilities

Any interested supplier must demonstrate by way of a statement
of capabilities that its services meets the the requirements
that are detailed herein.

4. Justification for the Pre-Identified Supplier

DRDC Atlantic has a requirement for a software library and
associated applications for realistic simulation of launch and
recovery of small craft from ships. The simulation must model
collisions between bodies, including collisions between cables
and other bodies. The simulation must also model the influence
of deck personnel applying tension to cables connected to the
small craft being launched and recovered. The simulation will
be based on the Simulation of Ship Mechanical Systems library
developed for DRDC Atlantic by the proposed contractor under
contracts W7707-098195/001/HAL and W7707-115188/001/HAL. Due to
the detailed knowledge of the software library, it is proposed
that Dynamic Systems Analysis of Victoria, British Columbia be
awarded the contract to develop the launch and recovery
simulation.

5. Government Contracts Regulations Exception(s)

The following exception to the Government Contracts Regulations
is invoked for this procurement under subsection 6(d) - "only
one person is capable of performing the work".

6. Ownership of Intellectual Property

Canada intends to retain ownership of any Foreground

augmented background to the private sector, through licensing or
assignment of ownership (not necessarily to the original
contractor), for the purposes of commercial exploitation;

(6.4.3) the main purpose of the contract, or of the deliverables
contracted for, is to deliver a component or subsystem that will
be incorporated into a complete system at a later date, as a
prerequisite to the planned transfer of the complete system to
the private sector, through licensing or assignment of
ownership, for purposes of commercial exploitation;

7. The period of the proposed contract

The proposed contract is from the date of contract award, to
February 28, 2013.

8. A cost estimate of the proposed contract

The estimated value of the contract, including options(if
applicable), is $60,000.00 (GST/HST extra).

9. Name and address of the pre-identified supplier

Dynamic Systems Analysis Ltd.
101-19 Dallas Road
Victoria, B.C.

to provide the goods, services or construction services
described in the ACAN, may submit a statement of capabilities in
writing to the contact person identified in this notice on or
before the closing date of this notice. The statement of
capabilities must clearly demonstrate how the supplier meets the
advertised requirements.

11. The closing date for a submission of a statement of
capabilities

The closing date and time for accepting statements of
capabilities is August 27, 2012 at 2:00 P.M. ADT.
