1025-025 Strong-Motion Data Interpretation: Comparative Study of Lower Resolution and Higher Resolution Instruments

California’s Strong‑Motion Instrumentation Program seeks a qualified contractor to analyze and compare lower‑resolution and higher‑resolution strong‑motion seismic records from a variety of ground‑response stations, building instrumentations, and shake‑table tests. The work will produce a technical evaluation of the limitations of lower‑resolution instruments, recommendations for their appropriate use, and deliver a series of progress reports, seminar presentations, and a final comprehensive report. • Analyze provided datasets (10 ground stations, two high‑rise building records, two shake‑table test series) to quantify performance differences. • Produce four interim progress reports, two mandatory CSMIP seminar presentations, and a final report due by June 30 2028. • Must meet California civil‑rights, tax‑delinquent, and sanctions compliance; disclose any generative‑AI usage; and stay within a $100 K contract ceiling (including up to $5 K travel).
