WEIGHING-TYPE ALL-WEATHER PRECIPITATION SENSOR (AWPS)
Environment Canada (EC), Meteorological Service of Canada (MSC) requires the supply, delivery, and support (availability of parts and servicing) of Weighing-Type All Weather Precipitation Sensors (AWPS) in accordance with MSC's technical specifications and user requirements over the next 10 years with the option to purchase additional units. The Surface Weather and Climate Network (SWCN) requires a continuous supply of sensors that can be procured over an extended period of time (up to 10 years) and must operate at all of EC's data-logger stations. The requirements are based on the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) user requirements for precipitation measurements - both solid and liquid - with some adaptations or additions for Canadian requirements.
The period of the Contract is from date of Contract to 31 March 2026.
The requirement is subject to the provisions of the World Trade Organization Agreement on Government Procurement (WTO-AGP), the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), and the Agreement on Internal Trade (AIT).
Purchasing Intention
The initial purchase of firm quantities is intended to allow Environment Canada to determine an implementation plan that will assure that the AWPS is installed in a manner that meets the Mandatory Technical Requirements, and to determine the steps required to integrate the AWPS into existing data collection systems. Once an implementation plan is completed, Environment Canada anticipates to purchase the AWPS in large quantities for installation in the field.
Operational Implementation
A key element of Environment Canada's network management is "data of known quality". As part of Environment Canada's implementation plan for the AWPS, the Contractor must provide assistance in understanding the operational modes of the AWPS and their effect on data quality. This assistance could include, but is not limited to, factors such as
• appropriate collection and filtering of raw data, where the AWPS relies on post-processing of recorded data (e.g., external conversion of raw bucket weights to precipitation amounts)
• descriptions of internal processing algorithms, where the AWPS provides direct output of derived values (e.g., precipitation amounts).
The requirement includes the option to purchase additional units and warranty support. Delivery Date: Above-mentioned
