Various alternatives to expedite procurement of an
icebreaker by the U.S. Coast Guard to replace the Westwind
Icebreaker, which is becoming obsolete, were iivestigated. None
of the alternatives examined appeared likely to reduce the time
to award a contract for the icebreaker. The cost estimate
developed by the Coast Guard during the initial planning phase
appeared to be reasonable, and the estimating method was
acceptable. However, thv Coast Guard should provide a range of
probable cost as well as the specific dollar estimate. (SC)](ViewImageLocal?handle=hein.gao/gaobaayjb0001&div=1&collection=&method=preview&ext=.png&size=3)
