The Military Sealift Command (MSC) fleet is aging with many of its ships having obsolete and unsupportable machinery control, alarm and monitoring systems. These shipboard machinery control systems will require extensive modernization and in some cases wholesale replacement. The ships in the fleet range in diversity and numbers from a unique Special Mission ship to an entire class, such as the fourteen ships of the T-AO 187 Class. The ships have differing mission requirements and a broad range of propulsion and shipboard control architectures. MSC plans to upgrade and replace these machinery control, alarm and monitoring systems during shipyard availabilities. MSC expects to separately solicit and award contracts for ship class or individual design, fabrication and installation of these systems. The purpose of this contract is provide project management and engineering services to assist MSCs project design team with implementing consistency in practices across the MSC fleet as it relates to the implementation of shipwide automation, control and monitoring systems for individual and multiple ship classes and platforms. MSC requires technical project management, engineering services and expertise to: 1.Assist in the development of fleet-wide automation system performance requirements; 2.Evaluate automation, controls and monitoring system specifications ; 3. Perform comparison analysis of multiple ship classes; 4.Review alternate automation, control, monitoring, alarm and equipment health data management implementation strategies; 5.Evaluate system designs and architecture; 6.Recommend and review documentation requirements for hardware, software, operation, installation, test and acceptance; 7.Ensure consistency in design, architecture and documentation requirements; 8.Provide long term management support of the individual projects.
