Engineering Contract Design for OCEANUS Class Mid-Life Improvements

该项目将产生合同设计的中期生活 改装三艘国家科学基金会拥有的研究船-R/V奋进号， OCEANUS和WECOMA由罗得岛大学运营， 伍兹霍尔海洋研究所和俄勒冈州 大学，分别。 这些R/V已经使用了15年，需要 为防止科学使命过时而进行的中期改进 恢复他们的物质条件。 这是第二阶段 三阶段计划。 第一阶段提出了初步设计， 每艘船上都有不同程度的改进。 第二阶段将为每艘船舶提供投标准备合同设计 和第三阶段的建议，每艘船一个，将为 实际的中年改装错开了三年。 由船舶运营代表组成的管理团队 每个机构的科学工作人员将监督第二阶段 活动，和罗德尼E公司。Lay Associates将 提供海军建筑和工程服务。

This project will produce contract designs for the mid-life refits of three NSF-owned research vessels - the R/Vs ENDEAVOR, OCEANUS and WECOMA operated by the University of Rhode Island, the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution and Oregon State University, respectively. These R/Vs are 15 years old and need mid-life modifications to prevent science mission obsolescence and to rejuvenate their material condition. This is Phase II of a 3-phase program. Phase I produced a preliminary design for improvements to be accomplished in varying degrees on each ship. Phase II will produce bid-ready contract designs for each ship and Phase III proposals, one for each ship, will be for the actual mid-life refits staggered over three years. A management team with representatives from the ship operations and science staffs of each institution will oversee Phase II activities, and the firm of Rodney E. Lay & Associates will provide naval architecture and engineering services.
