This requires a robust seismic network. The STS-2 seismometer is a backbone of PTWC's seismic network and is needed to size up great earthquakes (M > 6.5) that can cause destructive tsunamis in Hawaiian waters. In order to maintain our network's availability PTWC needs to replace the failed STS-2s with the STS-2.5. PTWC requires a new seismometer to replace a broken Streckheisen STS-2 seismometer.
Period of Performance: One year from date of award.2 Part of the PTWC's mission is to provide a tsunami warning as fast as possible after a great earthquake in the Hawaiian Islands. This requires a robust seismic network. The backbone of the PTWC seismic network is comprised of STS-2 seismometers/digitizer pairs.
***THE SOLE SOURCE DETERMINATION IS BASED ON THE NATIONAL OCEANIC AND ATMOSPHERIC ADMINISTRATION'S (NOAA) REQUIREMENT THAT AECOM IS THE SOLE ENTITY IN THE UNITED STATES THAT CAN MEET AND PROVIDE A PROBABILISTIC TSUNAMI HAZARD ASSESSMENT BASED ON THE METHOD OF SPLITTING TSUNAMIS NUMERICAL MODEL CURRENTLY USED FOR FORECASTING AT THE TSUNAMI WARNING CENTERS.
