Each task order will specify the pertinent work required. A. Ongoing project management and support. In addition to providing general project management support, the contractor shall participate in regularly scheduled quarterly meetings, as requested by the BIA Steering Committee or Reclamation personnel.

The contractor may be required to make provisions in the National Monitoring Center (NMC) website and data collection/alarming/display scheme for meeting the Department of Interior's (DOI) IT security requirements.

Revisions are dictated by the ongoing changes in IT security as Reclamation's IT experts better define the necessary features of computer security. C. National Monitoring Center Support.

This may include, but is not limited to, software programming, hardware support and replacement, technology upgrades, monthly data throughput fees, etc. D.

The contractor shall provide and install all sensors necessary to measure meteorological and hydrological parameters used in an EWS using the SDX commercial satellite transmission method.

Performance. All work to be performed under this contract will be directed by the Government through the issuance of Firm Fixed Price (FFP) Task Orders.
