AI Contract Overview

The United States Geological Survey (USGS) Geological Hazards Program is initiating a Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA) with the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission (SFPUC) to conduct a scientific and technical study aimed at assisting the SFPUC in seismically retrofitting its water supply system. The research focuses on understanding the geometry and activity rates of known and suspected faults in the Bay Area, contributing valuable seismic data to support infrastructure risk assessment and emergency preparedness. The study's results will be integrated into USGS seismic datasets to enhance public safety and emergency response capabilities. This collaboration is structured as a partnership where both parties contribute resources such as funds, equipment, and in-kind services, rather than a traditional procurement contract. The effort underscores the commitment to long-term data collection and applied research that benefits public safety and infrastructure resilience. Interested parties can contact designated USGS personnel for further details on the scientific study or technology transfer opportunities related to this cooperative initiative.

Full Description

The United States Geological Survey (USGS) Geological Hazards Program conducts basic and applied research, gathers long term data, operated monitoring networks, performs unique technical assessments, then disseminates its findings to the public in order to provide better emergency response and risk identification. The USGS is proposing to enter into a Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA) with San Francisco Public Utilities Commission, (SFPUC) on a scientific and technical study that will assist SFPUC to seismically retrofit its water supply system. Among other things the research will address the geometry and rate of activity of known or suspected faults in the Bay area. Data developed will be made available to USGS seismic datasets at the completion of the study. This is not a procurement, the partners in a CRADAs contribute funds, equipment and in-kind services to the research effort.

Giller, Technology Transfer Office, +1 (555) 000-0000 ext. 3034 or contact@example.gov.
