Statement of Work Contract No. NRC-03-93-036 Task Order No. 60'Under FIN J-2015-3 Task ~ Order ~ Title - Human Factors ~Information System for WINDOWS -~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ' '

Development Project Manager Mary Ann Biamonte 301-415-1073 Backcround The Human Factors Information System (HFIS) is an information management system that contains databases, or modules, on areas of Interest to the NRC and maintained by the Human Factors Assessment Branch and its contractor. The system contains information on the status of regulatory programs, such as DCRDR, SPDS, EOP, and Training, and also contains summary information on human performance from LERs and inspection reports. The system can generate a variety of standardized reports as well as accommodate ad hoc sorting of stored information. The database was developed using Clipper program (summer 1987 version).

An upgrade of the computer code used to execute all the functions and capabilities of HFIS from Clipper 1.0 to Clipper 5.0 was completed in August 1993. This upgrade allowed for more reliable operation with a greater number of records in the databases and improved the operating speed of the databases.

Other improvements made t' HFIS during 1993 included updating the plant lists to reflect a.;urately the operating plants at that l time, modifying the LER fields to incorporate reactor power l level, and improving the indexing to allow for more direct access to specific entries. Useability improvements made in 1993 l included improving the information filters for the Training, EOP ,

and Regulatory. Programs modules; modifying the method used to enter LER data; and improving menu screen overlays.

Two new modules were added to HFIS in the 1993-1994 timeframe.

The Inspection Reports module was developed to categorize and store information from NRC inspection reports. An NRR User Need led to the development of the HFIS Human Performance Investigation Process (HPIP) Module by the NRC Office of Research (RES). NRC/RES contracted separately with SEA to develop the HPIP module. The HPIP module became functional in early 1994.

Usability improvements were also made concurrent with the development of the Inspection Report and HPIP modules and included improved capability for executing filters and printing filter results.

Task Order 60 1

4 Major problems with the current system include:

HFIS cannot take advantage"of the Windows environment.

The system has reached the limits on the size of the executable program making it difficult to add new information and additional capabilities.

In order to'make the information available to staff at

~~ ~~~

headquarters and the regions, the data must be copied to multiple locations.

Scone of Work The contractor shall provide comprehensive systems integration services to HHFB to perform all phases of the design of a fully integrated HFIS for HHFB using client-server technology. The HFIS system shall provide concurrent uccess from multiple NRC office locations via the Agency Upgrade of Technology for Office Systems (AUTOS). The implemented system will have inherent characteristics of client-server computing such as, but not limited to, the following:

e The client and server functions shall be implemented on a single computer or can be segmented over several

. systems.

e Distributed clients are connected to servers via local area networks (LANs) and/or wide area networks (WANs).

e A server shall handle multiple clients concurrently.

  • The entire enterprise network shall be perceived by each individual user as a single system.
  • Networking hardware and poftware shall provide the interconnectivity to make the accessing of resources appear transparent without showing the complexity of different data formats and protocols.

Work Reauirements It is the responsibility of the contractor to assign technical staff, employees or specialists who have the required educational background, experience, or combination thereof to meet both the technical and regulatory objectives of the work specified in this statement of work. The NRC will rely on representations made by the contractor concerning the qualification of the personnel Task Order'60 '

! assigned to this task order including assurance that all  !

, information contained in the technical and cost proposals, j j including resumes, is accurate and truthful. 1 j The contractor shall perform requirements analysis, data modeling, hardware / software platform configuration, document and

~ ~~ data' conversion process details, and documentation'related~to all-~-~

l phases of the design of a fully integrated HFIS for HHFB using '

j client-server technology.

The contractor shall provide a system design schedule and provide

, time and staffing estimates and major milestone for completion of

the design.

4 j The contractor shall hold discussions with Task Manager and HHFB

! personnel as needed to determine additional data requirements.

The contractor shall review and resolve any data modeling issues l raised by IRM.

t

! The contractor shall design the HHFB application so that it has a look and feel consistent with the other IRM client / server applications, namely, RPS and DETS.

The contractor shall design HFIS in a manner such that it can exhange data with other client / server systems being developed by IRM, namely DETS and RPS.

The contractor shall develop by legacy system, the data conversion plan to include, but not limited to, a mapping of each of the legacy system fields to the HFIS physical database, and i all the validation rules (field, referential integrity etc.). I Fields not carried forward into HFIS should be noted. The plan 1 should define how the physical database is built from each legacy system, including business rules to maintain referential integrity and the default values for new/ additional. fields. The

. completed data conversion plan,should be submitted to the NRC Task Order Manager for review.

The contractor shall design security for HFIS. This will include several classes of users with varying rights. System security procedures represent a-complete description of the system features implemented to protect the data from unauthorized access. This shall include password protection and all processing for system administration that involves granting'new users access rights and removing users from access who no longer require it. Where appropriate, access authority shall include providing levels of access such as read-only access. In addition, the contractor shall provide the System Administrator the capability to maintain user access to HFIS.
