use by the contracting authority? 57 Page 8- xviie: Does this mean that SW developed for this project will be considered also as Free Ware? 58 Page9-xix: What exactly mean by Data Processing? ( In the context of GPS, are we talking about the reference station Software management or we are taking about baseline processing etc; please? 59 Section 1.3 Objective of the project, paragraph after section ix, o page4: If the selected contractor for the Project is subsidiary or related to a equipment manufacturer, will it be a conflicts of interest based on the above statement that the contractor should provide generic specification of the additional hardware/ software and application software required at each locations f INCOIS and IMD, please? 60 Section 4: Functional Requirement, Page7, x: Instead of transmitting in native binary format, will the Department accepts, BINEXT format, a public domain and independent binary format supported by major manufactures? The source code of all customized software developed under this project will be property of INCOIS and IMD, who will use this software in their own Projects and will not sell to anybody outside. The vendor should provide this software under no-disclosure guarantee as given in the Tender. It is about baseline processing etc We have asked selected vendor to give generic specifications, not proprietary specifications, of the hardware and system software. The specifications will be reviewed by INCOIS and IMD experts and will be procured as per project requirement. Some of the GPS manufactures provide processing software with more features specific to their native data format. Hence it is planned to provide facility to store also this native format of GPS receiver in the data centre other than RINEX format, to be useful to some users. However, BINEX format also additionally tried as an option for those receivers which support this format.

61 Section 4, Page 7 xi It appears that the department already owns RT net and 3D Tracker software for real-time processing, will the Department willing to consider a better and integrated software which could operate in parallel with the Departments current two software, RT net and 3D Tracker software which ar proprietary are acceptable? INCOIS and IMD do not have this SW. RT net and 3D tracker were selected based on our requirement of real time processing for Tsunami warning system (as well as for earth crust movement) and being used elsewhere in the world ( Ex. In Geonet network in Japan) for such application. While the vendor provide solution with these SW as has been asked, the vendor could offer also any other proven SW for these applications and to give it as an option. These SW could as well be operated in parallel, if suitable. 62 Section 4, Page 7 Relating to GPS data, What is the real time display of wave forms, can the Department, please provide a graphical example? Alternatively, is the Department willing to consider other graphical forms of incoming GPS data display 63 Page 7 xvi: Kindly do advices the RDBMS used by the Department today? 64 Page7, xxix: Please do advice regarding the communication link, data bandwidth and speed used for linking INCOIS and IMD, please? Existing Real time Display system in Tsunami Warning system in INCOIS is to used. Real time display, lat/long/height/met data variation with time Oracle for seismic data acquisition and processing It is 2Mbps MPLS. However the speed will be increased higher, if required, with more number of stations added in future. 65 General Question: Some GPS/GNSS receivers do not appear to have inbuilt facility to store data hence an appropriate mechanism is required to store the data in case of outage for transmission We have not made any mandatory requirement in our Tender any specific storage in VSAT modem nor for any external storage medium outside the GPS receiver.

over VSAT or some VSAT modems have the capability to cache and store data directly without any storage media in between GPS/ GNSS receiver and VSAT modem which can be later transmitted further down the system. Please which of the arrangement is required? General 66 67 Is there any need for large screen displays in house? Do we have to give our recommendations for the UPS, DG, and other related data centre components or do we have to quote them as well?. No The vendor should provide the details of UPS power, DG and other environmental details for implementing the project as per clause Section-4, ix, page no.6 of the tender document. INCOIS will arrange these facilities. Financial 68 Total cost specified in the Table shouldn t include the cost of optional items. In this case, the Table can be modified to identify the actual cost and the additional optional cost. Optional items specified and item specified as any other items including license fee etc will not be taken into total cost. However the vendor has to provide cost for the optional items without which the tender will be rejected. Also, the vendor may specify any other items, licenses etc, along with price and which are required for the project but not included in the Price bid format.

Annexure-1 Requirements of Earthquake Risk Evaluation Center (EREC) data Center 1. Introduction Earthquake Risk Evaluation Center (EREC), a multidisciplinary center of India Meteorological Department (IMD) is involved in generating knowledge products to help the national endeavor in mitigating the disastrous impacts of earthquakes and undertake/promote the specific tasks related to earthquake risk evaluation of cities vulnerable to earthquakes. The mandate of the centre includes generation of earthquake risk based knowledge products including seismic hazard and risk microzonation of high earthquake prone cities, develop information system and user interface. Presently, the data generated by EREC is being managed by a few small data collection and archival systems of EREC, which have become obsolete. The proposed requirements aims at setting up a state-of-the-art web based data center with the objective of multidisciplinary data management right from raw data to processed data at center, analytical capability, generation of end products and their accessibility to the end users through web page, data exchange and data security etc. 2. Data generation - Seismic hazard studies and Product generation: Study of seismic hazard and risk evaluation requires collection and generation of variety of data related to geology, geomorphology, seismotectonic, geotechnical, geophysical and built information etc to generate base map, geological map, seismotectonic map etc., and product maps such as peak ground acceleratio n, seismic hazard and risk map etc. EREC also aims to develop a state-of-art web based data / information collection and distribution system for earthquake risk hazard. The seismic hazard and risk microzonation study of metro city only, involves data generation of order of 300GB per city. The seismic microzonation of targeted cities will therefore generate about 1.5TB data. This will be followed by related application software(s) and products generation related to EREC, their availability on web, data sharing, data security and data management. 3. Requirement: The proposed database is multidisciplinary in nature with suitable hardware and software packages, with integrated design to meet the following objectives/capabilities:

3.1 Development analytical/computing capability integrating application software. 3.2 Development of distribution information system for ready collection of multithematic data, archival, storage, retrieval and also develop advance level interface with other related database. 3.3 Database is to be designed to incorporate tailored reporting and ad hoc query capabilities, which can support organizational decision making on the basis of product generated by application software and provide near real time view of risk information on occurrence of an earthquake. 3.4 Develop adequate printing facility of maps of different size 4. Salient features of Database: 4.1 The database should be designed based on industry standard H/w with high volume network storage, high speed network interconnect, high speed OS and automatic data management tools. 4.2 A key aspect of the data structure is the inclusion of Metadata according to NSDI (National Spatial Data Infrastructure) standards. Metadata about each feature class for each project study of various themes (e.g. seismicity/ seismic microzonation/ seismic hazard etc.) is stored in the RDBMS but is also exposed to standard geographic search engine. In addition to feature class metadata, each feature (record) also has key metadata elements that provide links back to the original sources. Access to the data can be geographic searches (e.g. what is here ), metadata bases (e.g. what data was prepared by EREC in 2005 ) or both. 4.3 Data and various products are subsequently retrieved by users through internet / VPN. Retrieval of data is transmitted using the TCP/IP protocol. 4.4 The project envisages the processed multi-disciplinary data to be expressed in geo referenced GIS presentation to be utilized for preparation of hazard maps, risk map, other type of related geo-scientific & geotechnical maps and decision support system. It is suggested that the core of this system will be a large Enterprise RDBMS type database containing all generated/ processed data content from various field studies with appropriate application server like Enterprise RDBMSAS to run various GIS middleware and applications and capable database manager.

4.5 To provide a user friendly web accessible interface for users desiring to access data and various end produc ts like hazard map, risk map, earthquake event information, etc. from the data center system, the solution provider has to create the set of server applications and portions that run in a client web-browser. 4.6 Near-real time observational data such as intensities, etc. reported by agencies/ individuals for preparation of shake maps etc. as a tool for disaster management under GIS based decision Support System. 4.7 The EREC database is to be integrated with database of GPS/Seismic data centre for making use of the products generated by each other 5.
