STATEMENT OF WORK FOR SUPPLY OR SERVICE < $150K

NFFP7100-16-02820, CB33558

PURPOSE:

The objectives of this proposal are to (1) render fully functional the Project CROOS data entry application developed and tested in 2015, (2) add a plotter interface for back-deck use in small boats, and (3) test the application with several fishermen at sea, with the intention of a limited implementation.

TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS:

The vendor must provide the following services

· Establish FishTrax database linkage.

· Develop basic plotter application.

· Incorporate plotter as home screen for sampling.

· Work with fishermen to identify desirable plotter features.

· Implement prioritized features.

· Test with fishermen in workshops, and then at sea with at least one "ride-along" to observe usage.

· Respond to fisherman feedback and address bugs.

· Test with a limited deployment of devices.

Specific evaluation points for at-sea testing include:

A) Screen visibility under a variety of lighting conditions, including full sun.

B) Hardness – ability to survive on back deck of troller at sea.

C) Ease of use of the touch screen, including under wet conditions and with gloved hands.

D) Integration of the interface with sampling and the fishing operation.

Deliverables will include the working application and the application code, and a report documenting the process. In addition, Fish Trax Systems, Inc. will be equipped with several mobile devices and the capability of providing them to fishermen for sampling.

Development and resulting software will reside entirely outside of the NOAA network. The current version of the software is being developed by Resource Data, Inc. under contract with Fish Trax Systems, Inc. (FTS). The software is owned by FTS. The successful bidder may choose to obtain the software from FTS or develop it de novo. The Android application will interact with the FishTrax database, owned by FTS. The database is completely independent of the NOAA network and has no interaction. There are no plans to incorporate any part of this system into the NOAA network. The resulting software will be the property of the successful bidder, and will be publicly available. Hand held devices will be the property of the successful bidder.

The vendor must:

Have direct experience with the Oregon commercial Chinook salmon troll fishery, including knowledge of the on-board fishing operation. Ideally, this would include time at sea with the fishery.

Have direct experience developing hardware and software for data collection.

Have experience developing software and applications for the Android platform.

Have experience with MySQL database software and Drupal web software.

Have, or obtain, access to the FishTrax database. An NDA will be required to allow the vendor access to confidential fisherman data contained in the database.

Be available, in Newport, Oregon, to meet with fishermen and conduct at-sea tests.

Work with the Oregon Salmon Commission to manage fleet logistics in at-sea data collection activities.

DELIVERABLE SCHEDULE:

Identification of desired features and development of the plotter interface should occur in spring, 2016. At-sea testing and limited implementation should occur during the regular commercial salmon season, May 2016 through April 30, 2017.
