  • CH2MHill Polar Services (CPS) has been tasked by the National Science Foundation (NSF) with supporting ship to shore and local operations in Barrow, Alaska as it relates to US Coast Guard (USCG) icebreakercruises. Other federal agencies are purchasing these support services for their cruises through NSF. CPS proceeds with the following assumptions:

     All of the CPS port call support will be in Barrow.

     Most of the support will be via a subcontract with UMIAQ.

     CPS is responsible to provide logistical support for all research participants of the ice breaker

    cruises regardless of affiliation. CPS support can only be as effective as the details provided inadvance allow. At least three week advance notice is needed to arrange most support, howeverevery effort will be made to adjust if needs change.

     Spontaneous requests for support will be pending approval and available resources.

     CPS will only provide support to USCG vessels, or those vessels with previously authorized arrangements through NSF.

     USCG will make arrangements and cover the costs associated with food and lodging of their personnel while in Barrow.
