Conversion of Fortran Application to C#

This project will entail the following steps: 1. To convert the application from Fortran 90 to the Visual C#.NET Platform. 2. To tie in a pre-existing database into the application. Currently all the input is in the form of flat files. 3. To build a graphical user interface (GUI) that will consolidate a majority of the tasks and applications needed to run the application. 4. Handle the output of the application in a database. Currently all the output is handled in flat files. 5. Create sub-routines to summarize the output of the application. This application has approximately 20,000 LOC. 10,000 of which are lines that are used in the processing. 10,000 lines are in the input and output. Nothing will be changed about the processing code, except what is necessary to convert the application. The input and output will stay exactly the same except that the data will be pulled in from and sent to a database rather than text files. I have estimated that the project will require 1500 manhours from a subcontractor. Please make your bid based on that estimate. A short list will be developed from all the bidders to whom I will provide more information to make a more detailed proposal. The project must be delivered in 6 months from the time the project is awarded. The company that wins the bid will be required to have or get a $1M product liability insurance policy. The project is going to have to follow a very detailed design process. Please provide any information on experience in performing projects of this size. I will require references from projects of similar size. ## Deliverables 1) Complete and fully-functional working program(s) in executable form as well as complete source code of all work done. 2) Deliverables must be in ready-to-run condition, as follows (depending on the nature of the deliverables): a) For web sites or other server-side deliverables intended to only ever exist in one place in the Buyer's environment--Deliverables must be installed by the Seller in ready-to-run condition in the Buyer's environment. b) For all others including desktop software or software the buyer intends to distribute: A software installation package that will install the software in ready-to-run condition on the platform(s) specified in this bid request. 3) All deliverables will be considered "work made for hire" under U.S. Copyright law.
