3 Description of Action. This purchase order request is to perform HEC-RAS 2D Test experiments and to provide HEC with the verification/validation test data sets in HEC-RAS format, as well as a validation document describing each test data set. The test data sets include very specific lab experiments with observed (measured) results.

4. The rationale or circumstances for limiting competition. Ford Consultants , specifically Dr. Tom Molls, has developed and applied these test five experiments to validate a different two-dimensional flow model. Performance by another contractor would require them to find similar lab experiments, acquire the data, become familiar with the data and experiments, and to fully understand how a two-dimensional model should perform under these very specific tests.

5. Market Research (MR) A notice of intent with the performance work station was posted on FBO.gov, resulting in no interested parties..

6. Price estimate, including options, if applicable. $29,000
