Added: Jun 19, 2018 1:56 pm The contractor shall provide all personnel, equipment, supplies, facilities, transportation, tools, materials, supervision, and  other items and non-personal services necessary to perform  the work required as defined in this Performance Work Statement.


The CCTS  system  is used as a standoff detector method for chemical cloud field testing on the grid at DPG.  The system is composed of  4 – 6 Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) detector instruments that, when positioned at specific distances and angles from each other, provide tomographic data that is used to detect the boundaries of dissemination clouds and track them as they move with the wind across the test boundary.


The contractor shall provide  annual preventative maintenance (PM)  and repairs, upgrades, replacements, and field test support as required to ensure the CCTS system is operational no less than 95% of the time during normal business hours.  A Performance Requirements Summary (PRS) is provided. The contractor shall accomplish these services and  ensure the CCTS system provides real-time chemical cloud tracking data for tests at a minimum success rate of  95%.
