The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers seeks information from firms interested in providing classroom instruction on seismic stability of earthen dams for Corps employees. Responses are due Feb. 21.
The U.S. Army Engineering and Support Center, Huntsville, took proposals in 2011 to provide classroom instruction in slope stability analysis. Its USACE Learning Network also took proposals for computer facilities management services.
The Huntsville center now has issued a request for information for general logistics and maintenance services. Companies are encouraged to respond if they are interested in eventually receiving a request for proposals. Responses are to help the Corps develop its acquisition strategy.
The request involves plans for a course on seismic stability of earthen dams that is to consist of 36 hours of classroom instruction combined with hands-on group exercises. Topics are to include establishment of earthquake design criteria, development of design earthquakes and associated ground motions, establishment of analysis procedures, development of structural models, prediction of earthquake response of the structure, and interpretation and evaluation of results.
The request for information notice may be obtained from the Federal Business Opportunities Internet site, www.fbo.gov, by entering solicitation No. RFQ848011 in the “Keyword/Solicitation #” box.
Responses are due Feb. 21. For information, contact Cynethia Crawford-McDonald and Zalerie Moore, U.S. Army Engineering and Support Center, Huntsville, P.O. Box 1600, Huntsville, AL 35807-4301; (1) 256-895-1898; E-mail: [email protected], [email protected].
