Shipboard Scientific Support Equipment: Oceanographic Cable

提案- 0124219pi。- alberts伍兹霍尔海洋研究所，代表学术研究船队提议采购多种机电海洋电缆、扭矩平衡钢丝绳和光纤电缆，以满足研究船队从2001年11月1日开始为期12个月的需求。自1982年以来，在采购机电海洋电缆和钢丝绳方面作出了类似的努力，与单个实验室采购相比，节省了大量费用，并更好地利用了现有库存。在过去，电缆卷在制造时直接委托给大学，以满足他们的直接需求。后续需求从“池”清单中填充。1992年，开始将所有新采购的产品交付到圣地亚哥和伍兹霍尔的电缆池。其结果是，目前所有电缆都是根据需要从池中分配给联索特派团的船只。这将继续下去。伍兹霍尔海洋研究所建议对电缆和绳索的检查、验收、维护、记录和储存起到管理作用。这些水池将继续由美国国家科学基金会控制。

Proposal - 0124219P.I. - AlbertsThe Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, on behalf of the Academic Research Fleet proposes to undertake a multiple procurement of electro-mechanical oceanographic cables, torque-balanced wire rope, and fiber optic cable to meet the needs of the research fleet for a 12-month period beginning 1 November 2001.Since 1982 similar efforts in the procurement of both electro-mechanical oceanographic cable and wire rope have resulted in substantial cost savings as compared to procurement by individual laboratories, as well as a better utilization of available stock. In the past reels of cable were consigned directly to universities at the time of manufacture to meet their immediate needs. Subsequent requirements were filled from "Pool" inventories. In 1992, the procedure of delivering all new procurements to the cable pools in San Diego and Woods Hole was initiated. The result is that currently all cables are allotted to UNOLS vessels from the pools as the need arises. This will continue. The Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution proposes to act in the management role for the inspection, acceptance, maintenance, record keeping and storage of the cables and ropes. The pools will remain under the control of the National Science Foundation.
