It <br />puts us in a position to respond rapidly and effectively to your <br />needs in putting a flash flood detection system "on-line" this <br />year. <br /> <br />Experience <br />SCC has been directly and extensively involved in the development <br />and operation of the two flash flood detection systems now <br />operating in Colorado, as well as with the design and <br />installation of numerous other data acquisition and control <br />systems. Three of SCC' s principals were formerly employed by <br />Boulder County, where they were responsible for communications <br />system design and operation, software development, and emergency <br />services operations. Together, they were directly involved in <br />the direction, development and operation of the Boulder County <br />Flash Flood Detection System since 1977. That telemetry based <br />system now consists of 40 rain gauges and 12 stream gauges with <br />extensive real time displays and decision support software, and <br />is recognized as one of the pioneering systems in the country. <br />SCC is currently under contract to provide continuing support for <br />the Boulder County system, including the development of stream <br />flow modelling software. <br /> <br />SCC has also been retained by the Urban Drainage and Flood <br />Control District to provide redesign and maintenance services for <br />the Lena Gulch Flash Flood Detection Network. This system was <br />brought into full operation only after SCC analyzed and corrected <br />design problems which had plagued the system for two years. <br /> <br />Another of SCC's principals was formerly in charge of research <br />and development for a major manufacturer of remote terminal <br />units. He has extensive experience in the design of data <br />acquisition and telemetry hardware for use in remote <br />environments. Together, SCC's staff is familiar with the design <br /> <br />SCC - pikes Peak Early Flood Warning Proposal <br /> <br />2 <br />
