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.

这是一个主要的研究设备和设施建设项目，用于建造236英尺高的研究船，该船在阿拉斯加沿海的水域工作，包括Chukchi和Beaufort Sean。 阿拉斯加大学的费尔班克斯大学（UAF）提案是对国家科学基金会计划征集NSF 07-515的回应，用于管理，收购和运营阿拉斯加地区研究船（ARRV）。 ARRV的构建在报告中被列为“国家学术研究机队”中的最高优先事项？更新的远程计划？ 拟议的设计是由海洋学科学界和学术机队运营商的意见开发的。 该设计于2004年12月完成，非常适合在所有季节中苛刻，冰上冰上的阿拉斯加海洋中的海洋学和渔业研究。 UAF建议组建一个管理团队，以获取为公共机构船舶采购的丰富经验而获得的船舶。 他们建议使用经验丰富的人员和船只收购程序，这些程序在阿拉斯加海洋高速公路（AMS）最近获得的船只采购中已被证明是成功的。 UAF将使用AMS在这些收购期间使用的赚取的价值管理（EVM）和项目执行计划（PEP）系统。 该大学正在与两位经验的海洋科学技术工程师签约，以确保船舶科学能力不会受到损害。该提案由10位邮件审稿人和10位小组成员审查。 面板的一个主要建议是逐步采购策略，以减轻风险。 提出了四个阶段方法，并在下一阶段资金之前完成了给定的里程碑。 该CSA提供了第一阶段的资金以及完成相关里程碑的资金，包括设计刷新和成本更新，项目执行计划，制定监督委员会，造船厂合同草案以及完成项目管理团队的成立。
