1024-004 Strong Motion Data Interpretation: Buildings

Background
The California Strong Motion Instrumentation Program (CSMIP) of the California Geological Survey, Department of Conservation (Department) requires the services of a contractor to interpret and analyze strong-motion data on building response. The goal of the CSMIP Data Interpretation Project is to further the understanding of strong ground shaking and the response of buildings and other structures, and to increase the utilization of strong-motion data in improving seismic code provisions, seismic design practices, and post-earthquake response.

Work Details
The contractor is required to interpret and analyze strong-motion data on building response. The proposed study should utilize the strong-motion data recorded from selected CSMIP instrumented buildings to further the understanding of the seismic responses of the building structures. The proposed study should contain at least one of the following objectives: i. To validate or improve seismic analysis procedures ii. To improve seismic provisions in the building code and seismic design practices iii. To increase utilization of strong-motion data in post-earthquake response.
However, it may supplement CSMIP data with other local or global buildings or ground response data if necessary.

Period of Performance
The schedule of performance of the Agreement shall be from November 1, 2024, or upon Department of General Services (DGS) approval, whichever is later, through December 31, 2026. The Contractor agrees to start work no later than thirty (30) days after the DGS approval, or a mutually agreed upon time.
