Description
This bid solicitation cancels and supersedes previous bid solicitation number 5000052465 dated 2020-09-02.
Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC) operates aerological observing stations throughout Canada. These stations complete soundings of the upper atmosphere twice daily for each day of the year. The observations are taken by releasing a gas-filled balloon with an attached instrument which is tracked via one of a variety of electronic navigational methods. This attached instrument transmits meteorological data relating to temperature, humidity, and the height of standard atmospheric pressure levels. In addition, tracking of the balloon allows for computation of winds and wind shear at upper levels of the atmosphere.
Data is collected and processed automatically by sounding equipment and transmitted to the Canadian Meteorological Centre for inclusion in atmospheric models which are used to produce a number of weather forecasts. In addition, the data is shared internationally for use in many global weather monitoring and forecasting programs.
ECCC requires the services of a Contractor to prepare the instruments and release the balloons twice each day, three hundred and sixty-five (365) days per year,(366 days in a leap year) to monitor the data and messages produced, and to ensure the prompt transmittal of the data.
The Contractor will conduct the management and operations of the observing program, and the scheduling of personnel for observing, recording, encoding and transmitting Aerological and Supplementary programs and other related duties at Fort Smith Upper Air Station
