AI Contract Overview

The United States Army Corps of Engineers, Engineer Research and Development Center (ERDC) intends to award a sole source contract under Simplified Acquisition Procedures to Germann Instruments, Inc. for the procurement of a Shear Wave Tomography System. This system is required by the ERDC Geotechnical and Structures Laboratory’s Airfields and Pavements Branch to non-destructively measure the thickness of Portland Cement Concrete pavement, supporting airfield evaluations, test section construction, and other pavement research projects. The system must deliver near-real time 3D images and thickness measurements within three seconds, utilize dry point contact sensor technology eliminating the need for coupling mediums, maintain a thickness measurement error of 0.5 inches or less, and be compact and portable. Additional requirements include multiple transducers for repeated measurements, self-calibration capability to determine concrete shear wave speed without coring, spring-loaded transducers to conform to uneven surfaces, and an integrated display screen for field verification. A recent research project concluded that the MIRA-5000 Shear Wave Tomography System is the only device meeting these technological specifications, with Germann Instruments, Inc. as the sole distributor in North America. Interested organizations are invited to submit their qualifications in writing by December 28, 2011, referencing the solicitation number W81EWF13334811. Responses must be submitted via email to the provided contact, and oral communications are not accepted. Questions can be directed to Robyn Wells at the contact number supplied.

Full Description

The United States Army Corps of Engineers, Engineer Research and Development Center (ERDC) Contracting Office intends to award on a sole source basis under the authority of FAR 13.106 to Germann Instruments, Inc., 8845 Forestview Road, Evanston, IL 60203-1924. This procurement is being conducted under Simplified Acquisition Procedures (SAP). The ERDC Geotechnical and Structures Laboratory (GSL), Airfields and Pavements Branch (APB) has a requirement to purchase a Shear Wave Tomography System to nondestructively determine thickness of Portland Cement Concrete (PCC) pavement for airfield evaluations, test section construction, and other current and future pavement research projects. The system requirements are as follows: Displays near-real time 3D images and thickness measurements with minimal post processing effort in less than three (3) seconds to minimize necessary testing and analysis time in the field; Dry point contact sensor technology which eliminates the requirement for a coupling medium; Thickness error of 0.5 inches or less with one sample; Compact size, including case, for ease of use and transportability (22 in. x 14 in. x 9 in., 28 lbs); Multiple transducers for repeated measurements within one test for accuracy; Self-calibrating/can determine the shear wave speed of concrete to eliminate the coring of pavement; Spring-loaded transducers for the ability to conform to rough surfaces; Self-contained system to include a screen on the system for measurement verification in the field. During a recent research project on nondestructive pavement thickness devices, it was determined that the MIRA-5000 Shear Wave Tomography System is the only device that has this technology. Germann Instruments, Inc. is the sole distributor of the MIRA-5000 in North America. Interested organizations may submit their capabilities and qualifications to perform the effort in writing to contact@example.gov with the solicitation number referenced in subject line no later than 4:00 PM CST on December 28, 2011. Oral communications are not acceptable in response to this notice. Please call Robyn Wells at +1 (555) 000-0000 with any questions.
