Construction and operation of the Alaska Region Research Vessel Program Solicitation NSF 07-515

这是一个主要的研究设备和设施建设项目，用于建造一艘236英尺长的研究船，在包括楚科奇和波弗特海在内的阿拉斯加海岸附近水域工作。阿拉斯加大学费尔班克斯分校(UAF)的提案是对国家科学基金会项目征集NSF 07-515的回应，该项目旨在管理、获取和运营阿拉斯加地区科考船(ARRV)。在这份报告中，ARRV的建设被列为最优先事项？国家学术研究舰队？更新的长期计划？拟议的设计是在海洋科学界和学术船队运营商的投入下开发的。该设计于2004年12月完成，非常适合在严酷、冰封的阿拉斯加海域进行任何季节的海洋学和渔业研究。UAF提议组建一个管理小组，以采购该船，并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公路(AMS)最近的船舶采购中被证明是成功的。UAF将使用AMS在这些收购期间使用的挣值管理(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订合同，以确保船舶科学能力不会受到损害。该提案由10名邮件审查员和10名小组成员审查。该小组的一项主要建议是采取分阶段收购战略，以降低风险。提出了四个阶段的办法，其中规定了在下一阶段供资之前要完成的里程碑。这项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、制定监督委员会、起草造船合同和完成项目管理团队的组建。

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.
