Added: Jun 07, 2013 10:02 am Since the late 1970's, the federal responsibility for supporting U.S. earthquake hazard assessment and risk reduction has rested with the National Earthquake Hazards Reduction Program (NEHRP). NEHRP is a statutory cooperative partnership of the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), the National Science Foundation (NSF), the US Geological Survey (USGS), and the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). Congress most recently passed the NEHRP Reauthorization Act of 2004, Public Law (PL) 108-360 (http://www.nep.gov/about/PL108-360.htm), which the President signed into law on October 25, 2004. PL 108-360 directing that NEHRP activities be designed to develop effective measures for earthquake hazard reduction; promote the adoption of earthquake hazards reduction measures by government agencies, standards and codes organizations, and others involved in planning and building infrastructure; improve the understanding of earthquakes and their effects tough interdisciplinary research; and, develop, operate, and maintain both the Advanced National Seismic System (ANSS) (http://earthquake.usgs.gov/monitoring/anss/) and the George E. Brown, Jr. Network for Earthquake Engineering Simulation (NEES) http://www.nsf.gov/news/special_reports/nees/about.jsp. PL 108-360 also directed that NEHRP support development and application of performance-based seismic design (PBSD).NIST has a requirement for a Contractor to provide support to NIST EL tough an Indefinite-Delivery Indefinite-Quantity (IDIQ) type contract for one (1) twelve-month base period plus four (4) one-year option periods.
