This is a Major Research Equipment and Facilities Construction project for the construction of a 236 foot research vessel to work in the waters off the coast of Alaska including the Chukchi and Beaufort Seas. The University of Alaska, Fairbanks (UAF) proposal is in response to the National Science Foundation Program Solicitation NSF 07-515 for the management, acquisition and operation of an Alaska Region Research Vessel (ARRV). The construction of an ARRV was given the highest priority in the report ?National Academic Research Fleet ? a Long Range Plan for Renewal?. The proposed design was developed with input from the oceanographic science community and the academic fleet operators. The design was completed in December 2004 and is well suited for oceanographic and fisheries research in the harsh, ice-infested Alaska seas during all seasons. UAF proposes to assemble a management team for the acquisition of the ship that draws on extensive experience for public agency ship procurements. They propose to use experienced personnel and vessel acquisition procedures that have proven successful in Alaska Marine Highways (AMS) recent vessel acquisitions. UAF will be using the Earned Value Management (EVM) and Project Execution Plan (PEP) systems used by AMS during these acquisitions. The University is contracting with two experience marine science technical engineers to insure the ship science capabilities are not compromised. The proposal was reviewed by 10 mail reviewers and 10 panelists. A major recommendation from the panel was a phased acquisition strategy to mitigate risk. A four phase approach is proposed with given milestones to be completed prior to funding of the next phase. This CSA provides the funds for Phase I and completion of related milestones including the design refresh and cost update, project execution plan, development of an oversight committee, draft shipyard contract and completing the formation of the project management team.

这是一项重大研究设备和设施建设项目，旨在建造一艘236英尺长的研究船，在阿拉斯加沿岸海域（包括楚科奇海和波弗特海）工作。 阿拉斯加大学费尔班克斯分校 (UAF) 的提案是对美国国家科学基金会计划征集 NSF 07-515 的回应，该项目征集涉及阿拉斯加地区研究船 (ARRV) 的管理、采购和运营。报告《国家学术研究舰队》将建造ARRV列为最高优先事项。长期更新计划？ 拟议的设计是根据海洋科学界和学术船队运营商的意见制定的。 该设计于 2004 年 12 月完成，非常适合在严酷、冰雪覆盖的阿拉斯加海域进行全天候的海洋学和渔业研究。 UAF提议组建一个管理团队来收购该船，该团队将借鉴公共机构船舶采购的丰富经验。 他们建议使用经验丰富的人员和船只采购程序，这些程序在阿拉斯加海洋高速公路 (AMS) 最近的船只采购中已被证明是成功的。 UAF 将在这些收购过程中使用 AMS 使用的挣值管理 (EVM) 和项目执行计划 (PEP) 系统。 该大学正在与两名经验丰富的海洋科学技术工程师签约，以确保船舶科学能力不受影响。该提案由 10 名邮件审阅者和 10 名小组成员进行了审阅。 该小组的一项主要建议是采取分阶段收购策略以降低风险。 提出了四阶段方法，并在下一阶段提供资金之前完成给定的里程碑。 该CSA为第一阶段和完成相关里程碑提供资金，包括设计更新和成本更新、项目执行计划、监督委员会的发展、造船厂合同草案以及完成项目管理团队的组建。
