D--Transmittal of Model Codes & Executables for SWEM, PATH and CARP

The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Region 2, intends to negotiate on a Sole Source basis, under the authority of FAR 6-302-1, only one responsible source, with HDR HydroQual for the purpose of transferring copies of HDR HydroQual's current System-Wide Eutrophication models (SWEM); the System-Wide Pathogen Models (PATH); and the Contamination Assessment and Reduction Project (CARP) computer models of the NY/NJ Harbor Estuary Program (HEP) onto USB Drives to EPA for use by the EPA and fellow stakeholders for developing total maximum daily loads (TMDL). HDR HydroQual developed these hydrodynamic/water quality models for the HEP. These contractor-based models serve as the tools to develop TMDL targets needed to address water quality impairments and evolve conventional methods of water quality modeling. The intent of this requisition is to procure labor and USB drives to accomplish the transmittal of HDR HydroQual's model codes and executables described above that comprise the various final products of the modeling work.
