CLIN 0001
Grand Calumet River Bidirectional Flow Study
Quantity: 1 Job
Description: The services shall consist of updating the bathymetric and structure (i.e. bridges, culverts) data used in developing the geometry of the numerical model, developing a comparison between the original model bathymetry and USACE-provided datasets, extending the model’s boundary condition east to capture effluent flows from Gary Wastewater Treatment Plant, and to perform numerical simulations for a range of Lake Michigan levels to assess bidirectional flow characteristics of the Calumet Area Waterway subsystem. In addition, the Contractor will compare the model results against the regression equations currently used in the Chicago District diversion accounting computations and, using the updated model runs, develop revised regression equations for a wider range of Lake Michigan levels.
The Government intends to negotiate solely with Marcelo Garcia under the authority of FAR 13.106-1(b), due to only one source being reasonably available to meet the Government's needs.
