I. SCOPE OF SERVICES
The City of Fort Collins is requesting proposals from firms to provide engineering and
maintenance support services for the City’s ALERT Floodwarning System. The selected
contactor will be able to perform all aspects of system maintenance, including testing,
calibration and cleaning of rainfall, streamflow and weather instrument sensors, testing and
maintenance of transmitters and associated equipment, and provide other types of system
support, including evaluation of system performance, radio path analyses, and development of
rating curves. In addition, the contractor should be able to install new gages and sensors into
the existing system network. As a minimum deliverable, the contractor will provide the City with
qualifications and labor rates for personnel used to perform these activities.
The scope of the requested service is based on the potential for the City of Fort Collins requiring
additional support for the existing Floodwarning System staff. The circumstances for additional
support will be based on:
i) An unanticipated need for assistance in maintaining or growing the current
Floodwarning System
ii) Repair/replacement of some or all of the existing Floodwarning system due to
unforeseen circumstances, or
iii) Determination by the City that a need exists for qualifications/skills that exceed
existing staff capability.
II. CONTRACT TERM

contracted to present individual project cost estimates to the City of Fort Collins for specific
scopes of work as they arise. The contractor selected from this RFP process will be retained by
the City of Fort Collins for a contract term of one year with the option by the City to renew for
four additional years.

the Flood Warning System that will include your qualifications and standard labor rates, as well

In the event it is necessary to revise any part of this Request for Proposal or if additional

A review team will rank the proposals based on the City of Fort Collins procedures for the
review of professional firms, and make the selection from that review. If the City so decides, the
firms submitting the three highest ranked proposals may be asked to discuss their qualifications
in person. If the City decides to hold these interviews, a selection will be made of the firm that is
highest ranked after the interview process is complete.
The City of Fort Collins retains the right to reject any or all proposals, to waive any irregularities

2/9/00
VI. MAINTENANCE AND SUPPORT CAPABILITIES OVERVIEW
The City of Fort Collins operates an automated local Floodwarning System that includes gages,
and operational software, data archiving and analysis software, and communication equipment
that are network based. The Floodwarning System (System) became operational in 1999 with
the installation of precipitation/streamflow gages, a base station with operational/archiving
software, and other decision support equipment and software. The system has steadily grown
since that time. As of Spring 2006, the System will have grown to a configuration of 63 gage
locations, one repeater, operating/data archiving software at two base stations, other associated
client stations, and weather monitoring and paging software. Decision support documentation
includes an operations manual accompanied by floodplain basin maps.
The City is attempting to select a qualified contractor to provide engineering and maintenance
services for the existing Floodwarning system, as well as assistance with possible future
expansion of the system. The contracted services will be provided on an as-needed basis in
support of the existing Floodwarning System staff.
Three scenarios exist for which such support may be required: i) an unanticipated need for
assistance in maintaining or growing the current Floodwarning System, ii) repair/replacement of
some or all of the existing Floodwarning system due to unforeseen circumstances, or ii)
determination by the City that a need exists for technical expertise supplemental to existing staff
capabilities.
VII. CURRENT SYSTEM MAINTENANCE AND SUPPORT
The Floodwarning System is currently maintained by City staff. However, in the case that
existing staff are not able to perform routine maintenance or resolve technical problems, outside
support may be required.
VIII. RE-ESTABLISHMENT, REPLACEMENT, OR GROWTH OF THE FLOODWARNING
SYSTEM
In the event that a large flood event or other natural disaster renders the system in part or whole
diminished or inoperable, the Contractor will be able to assist the City with repair and
reestablishment of the Floodwarning System. In addition, the City may decide to replace or
upgrade System components because of newer Floodwarning technologies that are available.
Finally, the City of Fort Collins may need to enlarge the current System.
IX. SUPPLEMENTAL CAPABILITIES
The City may determine that certain tasks with requirements that exceed current staff
capabilities may need to be performed. These tasks may include completing an evaluation of
the Floodwarning System’s current reporting capability as well as an evaluation of the system’s
capability to support future growth; performing radio path analyses for potential new gage
locations, or developing rating curves for streamflow measurement sites.
2/9/00
X. SCOPE OF SERVICES TO BE PROVIDED
A. MAINTENANCE ACTIVITIES
Maintain the City’s current Floodwarning System, comprising 56 gage locations that
include 15 precipitation gages, nine (9) streamflow gages, 26 precipitation/streamflow
gages, five (5) weather stations and one irrigation/floodwater conveyance ditch
emergency transmitter. Some of these gages are in locations outside the City but
located in Larimer County and nearby municipalities. The current maintenance schedule
includes quarterly visits to each gage location, and additional visits as needed to ensure
suitable equipment condition and performance. Typically, the maintenance activities
include 2nd quarter cleaning and calibration of the precipitation gage tipping buckets and
appurtenances, calibration of streamflow gage pressure transducers, and testing of
transmitters. The 4th quarter visits include cleaning of precipitation gages, winterization
of pressure transducers, and transmitter testing. The 1st and 3rd quarter maintenance
tasks typically comprise cleaning and testing of equipment.
Support the existing DIADvisorTM database management/operating software. This
software is located on two fixed base stations, one mobile base station, and six (6) client
station installations. Although it is expected that a separate contractual agreement may
be entered into between the City and the operational software developer (OneRain
Corporation), expertise with this software is to be demonstrated by the applicant.
Evaluate sensor reports and monitor system performance, in part by using OneRain’s
Datamine software.
B. ADDITIONAL MAINTENANCE ACTIVITIES
Support the Floodwarning system alarm PageGate® paging system and National
Weather Service Emergency Manger’s Weather Information Network (EMWIN) and
Weather Message® weather message notification systems. Other/additional weather-
monitoring software may be added to the system in the future.
C. ADDITIONAL SYSTEM SUPPORT AND PERFORMANCE EVALUATION
ACTIVITIES
• Evaluate the performance of the Floodwarning System, including determining
the accuracy of data generated from each sensor, if sensor report
transmissions are successfully transmitted and subsequently received by the
base station(s), and ensuring data management tools are properly filtering and
archiving sensor data reports.
• Evaluate the potential for expansion of the System through the addition of
gages/sensors. New gage locations will require a radio path/site analysis for
optimum site selection.
• Provide responsive/emergency repairs to the System in case of damage by a
flood.
• Repair or replace any part or the entire gage network, if necessary.
• Expand the existing gage network, if requested.
• Prepare theoretical rating curves for streamflow gage locations.

including the billing rates for any/all personnel providing the services specified in this document.
The contractor will also provide a labor estimate for the selection/ordering/installation/calibration
and testing of a standard tipping-bucket raingage/standpipe, including transmitter and antenna
installation.
XII. REVIEW AND ASSESSMENT

basis for review of the written proposals and interview session.
