SECTION C -- DESCRIPTIONS AND SPECIFICATIONS

Introduction

The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) has a requirement to purchase earthquake and volcano monitoring systems, including integrated systems (containing both sensors and data acquisition units (DAUs)) and systems comprised of separate DAUs and sensors (either strong motion sensors or broadband sensors). This equipment will be used in the Advanced National Seismic System (ANSS), the Global Seismographic Network (GSN), and the USGS Volcano Program to serve the needs of earthquake and volcano monitoring, engineering, and research communities as well as national, state, and local governments, emergency response organizations, and the public. Applications of these devices may include urban and rural free-field and reference sites, and other types of networks, such as volcano monitoring and broadband networks.

Equipment Information

Note: This equipment is to be used for hazard monitoring including being used in natural crises situations that will drive humanitarian decisions to mitigate the loss of lives and property from these hazards. Therefore, confidence in the equipment to preform to the specifications of the USGS under a variety of demanding environments (environmental, high stress, etc.) is of paramount importance. For this reason, we require that the systems must be existing, upgraded, or improved versions of models which can be purchased “off-the-shelf” and which have been demonstrated to be effective in previous deployments for periods of not less than six (6) months.

The required instrumentation systems consist of three components: (1) a triaxial force-balance accelerometer, triaxial strong-motion seismometer (defined as voltage output proportional to ground velocity), or triaxial broadband seismometer (the “sensor”); (2) a DAU, and (3) software for communicating with deployed units. When the DAU and sensor are integrated into a single package, the system is referred to as an “Digital Sensor” or “Logger with Internal Sensor” or “All-in-One”. These specifications are organized by sensor, DAU, environmental and packaging issues that apply to both sensors and DAUs, software, and additional requirements. The scope of this action includes the requirement to provide all the instrumentation components which includes but may not be limited to cables, connectors, related accessories and ancillary equipment. Software must be included with all DAUs and Digital Sensors if required for data acquisition.

Additional information and specifications can be found in the following attachments.

Excel Spreadsheet – Titled “TestingSpecs2026”

1. Sensors Specifications for Class strong-motion sensors (and the sensor portions of Digital Sensors) are given in Tables 1 and 4, and specifications for broadband Sensors are given in tables 2 and 4. Tables 1, 2 and 4 describe the specifications for triaxial sensors; Borehole or uniaxial packages must meet the same specifications except where noted.

2. Data Acquisition Units

Specifications for DAUs (and the non-sensor portions of Digital Sensors) are given in Table 3.

Document Title Seismic Equipment Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity Contract Contract

3. Environmental and Packaging Issues for Sensors and DAUs Sensor, DAU, and Digital Sensor environmental and packaging specifications are given in Table 4 and its footnote.

4. Software for DAUs and Digital Sensors A. Mandatory features:

The vendor shall provide software, free of charge, which shall execute on a computer at the central site in order to capture data from the DAUs and Digital Sensors and allow interaction with them through Ethernet network connection or similar means.

The software shall:

Either be open code, with this source code provided to ANSS and its networks or be provided in full to ANSS and its networks upon any dissolution of the vendor.

Be fully vendor supported, (a) ensuring that all proposed features work properly, and (b) providing updates correcting all errors and bugs within 20 business days of their discovery or longer if necessitated by special circumstances described by the vendor to ANSS satisfaction, and (c) in a similarly timely manner be issued requisite updates by the vendor in order to remain compatible with major operating-system upgrades on target platforms (e.g., PC, Mac, Linux, etc.).

Support the error correction and lossless-compression protocols used by the DAUs.

Acquire all continuous sensor data from multiple DAUs and Digital Sensors of the vendor’s models.

Acquire all triggered-event records from these same DAUs and Digital Sensors.

Acquire SOH (state-of-health), CM (configuration), and any EM (event) messages from the DAUs and Digital Sensors at a frequency and with content as described in Table 3. A random failure rate of not more than 5% is acceptable in the recovery of these SOH messages. No CM nor EM shall be lost in telemetry.

Support simultaneous data collection from multiple DAUs and Digital Sensors.

Support an interface to permit ANSS-user software packages to rapidly retrieve the above sensor, SOH, CM, and

EM data within 60 seconds of its receipt by the vendor’s CSS. This interface shall:

Be based on IP socket connections (TCP/IP strongly desired).

Support a re-start mechanism that can detect hung sockets and cause timely restarts. Such restarts shall not deplete nor monopolize the resources of the computer platform on which the central site software is executing, nor shall they require on-site human presence.

Be fully documented (including regarding data formats and interactions with client applications).

Identify and wherever possible also correct out-of-order data in order to facilitate down-stream user processing.

Support interrogation, full configuration, and maintenance of all the vendor’s DAUs and Digital Sensors from the CSS laboratory site.

Provide for recovery of interrupted contiguous and triggered data streams up to the limit of non-volatile DAU and Digital Sensor memory capacity. This process is sometimes called “backfilling” and shall not interfere with the acquisition of current data streams. Users shall be able to set a time limit, the maximum latency, beyond which backfilling will not be attempted (e.g., a few days).

Include an Earthworm-compatible client module capable of producing standard Earthworm trace-data packets. This module shall operate on at least one of the following operating systems: Linux, Unix, Microsoft Windows, and Mac OS X.

Document Title Seismic Equipment Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity Contract Contract

A client module to produce data in the Standard for the Exchange of Earthquake Data (SEED) without dataless, known as miniSEED data from the Digital Sensor or DAU native format (if the DAU or Digital Sensor does not produce miniSEED as its native format).

B. Strongly desired features:

1. An Earthworm-compatible client module similar to the trace-data packet module for bringing SOH, CM, and EM into Earthworm and SeisNetWatch (SNW).

2. Produce miniSEED waveform data from the Digital Sensor or DAU native format.

3. Software to operate on at least two systems (Linux, Unix, Microsoft Windows, and/or Mac OS X).

5. Additional Requirements All hardware and software shall be accompanied upon delivery by fully detailed documentation, including complete and accurate descriptions at a minimum of: (1) system specifications and operating limits; (2) installation, configuration, and operational procedures (DAU or Digital Sensor, sensor, software , GPS, etc.); (3) all data formats;

and (4) telemetry capabilities, requirements, and procedures.

In addition to the software updates, clause (2)(b) of software updates for DAUs and Digital Sensors, Mandatory features, repairs of systems hardware shall be provided by the vendor within 20 business days of hardware receipt by the vendor. Vendor must provide a schedule of fees and in-shop times for (1) determining necessary repairs and

(2) performing necessary repairs and returning the repaired units.

The system of sensor orthogonal components [ Z, Y, X ] shall be left handed when in that order. If these components were to be oriented in the cardinal directions, for example, "X" would be East, "Y" would be North, and "Z" would be up. Motions in these directions are to produce positive differential voltages at the connector. For weak motion these components are to be presented as [ Z, Y, X ] at the connector (in increasing pin-identifier order).

Presenting signals in either order, [ X, Y, Z ] or [ Z, Y, X ], at the connector is allowed for strong-motion sensor sets, in which case we prefer that these options be user- or order-selectable.

Definitions Accelerometer: A sensor that has an out proportional to ground acceleration over the frequency range of DC to at least 50 Hz.

BB: Broadband sensors are instruments that output a voltage proportional to ground velocity across a frequency band spanning multiple decades (e.g., 10 Hz to 120 s). Useful to the USGS are those that have self-noise levels below the Peterson New Low-Noise Model from 10 Hz to 20 s period.

Class A: Class A instruments are sensors and DAUs at or near the state-of-the-art, currently about 20 to 26 bits resolution over the dynamic range of the corresponding sensor types. This Class of devices is the only subject of this contract.

Digital Sensor: Sometimes also called “All-in-one” or “Logger with Internal Sensor”, a complete seismic-monitoring system consisting of sensor(s), DAU(s), GPS if not included in the DAU(s), and communications hardware if not included in the DAU(s). (Note that a Digital Sensor = DAU + Sensor(s).)

DAU: Data Acquisition Unit, a subsystem that acquires, timestamps, stores, and transmits digital data from one or more sensors. Note that DAU = Amplifiers + ADC + storage + telemetry + timing source (GPS or equivalent).

Document Title Seismic Equipment Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity Contract Contract

Sensor: In the ANSS context, a sensor is a device that converts ground or structural motion to an analog voltage or directly into a digital signal.

Seismometer: An inertial sensor that measures ground velocity or acceleration as a function of time.

Strong-Motion Sensor: A strong-motion velocity seismometer or an accelerometer, which measures large amplitude earthquake motions, up to about ±3.5 g acceleration or ±5.5 m/s velocity.
