Seismic Data Analysis & Structural Modeling

The contract seeks advanced analysis of strong-motion data collected from instrumented buildings to assess structural performance during earthquakes, with the goal of enhancing the accuracy of computational models used to predict seismic response. This work involves interpreting real-world earthquake data to identify patterns in building behavior under seismic stress, refining existing models, and developing new ones that can more reliably forecast how structures will respond to future events. The analysis must be rigorous and grounded in current geotechnical and structural engineering practices to ensure actionable insights for improving building safety and resilience. The project is classified as a subcontract under NAICS code 541330, indicating it falls within the scientific and technical consulting services sector, and is issued by the California Department of Conservation with a response deadline of June 29, 2026. The work is expected to be executed remotely, with no specific location designated for performance. Though the solicitation number and point of contact are not provided, interested parties must submit proposals through the official CalEProcure portal by the stated deadline to be considered for award. The outcome of this effort will directly support California’s broader seismic safety initiatives by improving the scientific basis for structural design and retrofit priorities.
