Ground Response Strong-Motion Data Interpretation Service

The California Geological Survey, located in Sacramento, California, is seeking a vendor to analyze strong-motion data recorded from selected ground response stations or geotechnical arrays. The agency is trying to solve the problem of limited understanding regarding strong ground shaking during earthquakes. This study must address at least one of three key objectives, which include increasing the utilization of strong-motion data in pre- and post-earthquake response, improving seismic hazard analysis and design practices, or increasing the understanding of how source mechanisms, propagation paths, and local site conditions affect recorded motions. Only organizations based onshore in the United States are eligible to submit proposals for this opportunity. The agency is accepting digital submissions, which bidders can transmit either via email or through an online portal. The agency has not specified a set budget and is looking for proposals to determine the cost of the project. Bidders must submit all questions regarding this opportunity no later than June 1, 2026.
