Background: In the open ocean, water temperature varies with depth in the mixing layer (nominally 30 metres deep). In a ship's wake, the temperature gradient in the wake is different from the surrounding water body due to the mixing of the sea water by the propeller.
Defence Research and Development Canada (DRDC) is currently conducting research on the thermal characteristics of the wake of a ship. This research initiative includes the measurement of water temperatures in the wake. Therefore, to conduct this research, DRDC needs to acquire several devices that can make these water temperature measurements at different depths in the mixing layer as well as collect other information like sea water salinity. DRDC also requires any associated services to transmit select data to a base station and parse that data into a useable form. Detailed Mandatory requirements for the devices are provided in Annex A of the Solicitation document.
Requirement: A ship's wake measurement trial will be conducted in July/August 2015. During the trial, a ship (likely larger than 20 m in length) will travel in a straight line in coastal waters at different speeds. At the beginning of and during each run, the measuring devices will be deployed from the stern of that ship (see Figure 1). The devices, as best as possible, need to drift with the ship's wake. The devices will be recovered by the trial vessel about 60 to 90 minutes after deployment. Select data from the devices needs to be transferred to a base station via an Iridium satellite link while the devices are deployed. Two different types of devices are required:
a. a device that drifts with the wake and measures water temperature at the sea surface and at various depths (i.e., a water temperature measurement device); and,
b. a device that drifts with the wake and measures sea surface temperature and ocean salinity (i.e., a water surface measurement device).
The solicitation document contains complete details on the requirement and the bid evaluation and contractor selection methodology.
Delivery Date: All the deliverables to be received 6-8 weeks from date of contract award.
Basis of selection: A bid must comply with the requirements of the bid solicitation and meet all mandatory technical evaluation criteria to be declared responsive. The responsive bid with the lowest evaluated price will be recommended for award of a contract.
