STATEMENT OF WORK:

DESTRUCTIVE WEATHER MONITORING AND WARNING SERVICE

Norfolk Naval Shipyard (NNSY) requires a site specific web-based interactive live-weather forecasting, monitoring and warning service to ensure its personnel are informed of and protected from destructive weather hazards, such as high winds, heavy rain, flooding, lightning, snow/ice, hail and extreme temperatures. At a minimum, service shall include:

Weather conditions shall be continuously monitored by live, American Meteorological Society (AMS) certified meteorologists 24 hours per day, 7 days per weeks, and 365 days per year.

NNSY requires the contractor to provide a daily weather forecast via email to designated NNSY personnel. The contractor shall issue the forecast to NNSY no later than 0700 EDT and the forecast should cover a minimum of 24 hours. It should contain industry standard weather parameters (including items such as high and low temperatures, humidity, rain/snow fall rate, rain/snow fall total, wind, and probability of thunderstorms and lightning).

Alerts and/or warnings shall be delivered by text and/or email to designated NNSY personnel (estimated between 20 and 30).

Warning delivery system shall provide contractor personnel with an automated confirmation feedback method to ensure that NNSY personnel have received and acknowledged the warning message. The warnings shall be based on specific weather parameter and corresponding radius from the shipyard. For example, if the contractor established lightning radius at 3 miles, the contractor shall issue the warning for lightning when lightning is seen within the coverage area. The contractor will also notify NNSY when the warning condition has cleared.

In the event that NNSY personnel do not acknowledge the warning (approximately 3 minutes from warning issue), the contractor shall make telephonic contact with the designated NNSY representative to ensure receipt and acknowledgement of the warning.

The contractor shall provide for weather forecast and reporting system customized for NNSY and its geographic location. The term “customized” includes all relevant system parameters (e.g., specific weather phenomena, alert/warning criteria (i.e., distance and/or time), coverage area, etc.). The surrounding area(s) shall be covered for Norfolk Naval Shipyard and the four installation areas: NNSY proper, St. Juliens Creek, Southgate and at Scotts Center. These areas are within a 2.5 mile radius from the approximate center of NNSY.

The contractor shall provide live, trained and AMS-certified meteorologists on their staff who are continuously available for on-demand, real-time and live consultations and/or briefings with NNSY personnel. The contractor shall provide a daily weather forecast report by email to multiple NNSY personnel (estimated between 10 and 20). The contractor shall ensure these reports contain all relevant weather-related data for a minimum time period of 24 hours.

Identification of equipment/unit to be serviced:

Not applicable. NNSY does not desire or require any hardware/software installation. All services shall be web-based.

24 hours per day, 7 days per week customized monitoring of the weather – current and forecasted conditions – for Norfolk Naval Shipyard proper (Portsmouth, VA 23709) and outlying areas at varying customizable radius with a minimum radius of 2.5 miles

Advance alerts: NNSY requires warnings (indication of imminent severe weather) at a minimum of 5 minutes. However, the contractor should be capable of providing earlier warnings dependent on the specific weather parameter. The contractor should be able to adjust minimum warning times as needed to ensure personnel safety at NNSY. Note: Alert simply means that the contractor is notifying us that conditions are prevalent or favorable for destructive weather. Warning means that destructive weather is imminent

Weather conditions shall be continuously monitored by live, American Meteorological Society (AMS) certified meteorologists 24 hours per day, 7 days per weeks, and 365 days per year

NNSY requires the contractor to provide a daily weather forecast via email to designated NNSY personnel. The contractor shall issue the forecast to NNSY no later than 0700 EDT and the forecast should cover a minimum of 24 hours. It should contain industry standard weather parameters (including items such as high and low temperatures, humidity, rain/snow fall rate, rain/snow fall total, wind, and probability of thunderstorms and lightning)

Alerts and/or warnings shall be delivered by text and/or email to designated NNSY personnel (estimated between 20 and 30)

Warning delivery system shall provide contractor personnel with an automated confirmation feedback method to ensure that NNSY personnel have received and acknowledged the warning message. The warnings shall be based on specific weather parameter and corresponding radius from the shipyard. For example, if the contractor established lightning radius at 3 miles, the contractor shall issue the warning for lightning when lightning is seen within the coverage area. The contractor will also notify NNSY when the warning condition has cleared

In the event that NNSY personnel do not acknowledge the warning (approximately 3 minutes from warning issue), the contractor shall make telephonic contact with the designated NNSY representative to ensure receipt and acknowledgement of the warning

Confirmation of receipt for warning is required. The Shipyard Duty Office (SYDO) will be the first contact. The contractor will call the SYDO at the designated phone number if NNSY does not acknowledge receipt of the warning. The SYDO is continuously manned so it is not expected that the contractor will need to call other designated personnel should acknowledgement not be received within 3 minutes of issue

The contractor will call SYDO if NNSY has not acknowledged receipt of the warning message. If the contractor is unable to obtain confirmation of receipt via phone call to the SYDO, the contractor will call the next designated NNSY representative on the call list. The contractor will not be required to obtain confirmation of receipt for alerts

(i) Taxes are considered delinquent if both of the following criteria apply:

(A) The tax liability is finally determined. The liability is finally determined if it has been assessed. A liability is not finally determined if there is a pending administrative or judicial challenge. In the case of a judicial challenge to the liability, the liability is not finally determined until all judicial appeal rights have been exhausted.

(B) The taxpayer is delinquent in making payment. A taxpayer is delinquent if the taxpayer has failed to pay the tax liability when full payment was due and required. A taxpayer is not delinquent in cases where enforced collection action is precluded.

(ii) Examples.

(A) The taxpayer has received a statutory notice of deficiency, under I.R.C. §6212, which entitles the taxpayer to seek Tax Court review of a proposed tax deficiency. This is not a delinquent tax because it is not a final tax liability. Should the taxpayer seek Tax Court review, this will not be a final tax liability until the taxpayer has exercised all judicial appear rights.

(B) The IRS has filed a notice of Federal tax lien with respect to an assessed tax liability, and the taxpayer has been issued a notice under I.R.C. §6320 entitling the taxpayer to request a hearing with the IRS Office of Appeals Contesting the lien filing, and to further appeal to the Tax Court if the IRS determines to sustain the lien filing. In the course of the hearing, the taxpayer is entitled to contest the underlying tax liability because the taxpayer has had no prior opportunity to contest the liability.
