High Fidelity Accelerometers

THIS IS A PRESOLICITATION NOTICE ONLY ¿ The Bureau of Reclamation, has a name brand or equal requirement to procure twelve (12) high fidelity accelerometers including support electronics and hardware composed of fifteen (15) ten meter (10m) Silicon Audio seismic cables, fifteen (15) Dual Digitizer Splitter Boxes (3-6 channels), twenty (20) Dual Digitizer Splitter Boxes modified with cable glad on one end, twenty (20) Splice Boxes, and twenty 0.6 meter Silicon Audio seismic cables to monitor and investigate ground motions from natural and/or induced earthquakes that may impact Reclamation facilities.

The accelerometers will allow Reclamation to quantify on-site peak ground accelerations from a seismic event providing real-time critical information for dam managers and local engineers to assist in the implementation of inspection protocols. Additionally, the acquisition of continuous strong motion data affords the capability to assess verification of numerical models, natural modes, site-response/amplification, and other parameters related to the quantification of engineering properties of Reclamation facilities. The accelerometers procured will be integrated into the existing Strong Motion Monitoring Program Realtime Data Acquisition and Earthquake/Strong-Motion Notification System.
