CRREL-Ice Cube

该协议修订了现有的协议备忘录（MOA），授予美国陆军寒区研究和工程实验室（CRREL）为美国南极计划（USAP）冰立方项目提供工程服务。 2003 - 2004年南极夏季在南极进行地面穿透雷达勘测。 中铁快运及其承包商多年来一直提供类似服务。 服务一直是及时的，具有成本效益和专业。 预计这项工作将以类似方式完成。 CRREL是一个政府机构，与NSF或支持承包商无关。 中铁快运在支持合同中没有可能构成利益冲突的利益。 由于上述原因，CRREL继续执行正在进行的任务符合NSF的最佳利益。 根据CRREL的估计，建议从IceCube MREFC项目预算中支付49，000美元。

This amends an existing Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) by making an award to the U.S. Army Cold Regions Research and Engineering Laboratory (CRREL) for engineering services to the United States Antarctic Program's (USAP) IceCube Project. The following tasks are included: Performance of a ground penetrating radar survey at the South Pole during the austral summer season 2003 - 2004. Similar services have been provided by CRREL and their contractors for many years. The services have always been timely, cost effective, and professional. It is expected that this work will be accomplished in a similar manner. CRREL is a government agency, not associated with the NSF or the support contractor. CRREL has no interest in the support contract that could constitute a conflict of interest. For the reasons stated above it is in the best interest of the NSF for CRREL to continue with the ongoing tasking. This award is recommended for the amount of $49,000 as estimated by CRREL to be funded from the IceCube MREFC project budget.
