- The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Marine Design Center intends to initiate an Invitation For Bid (IFB) procurement for the necessary marine services to perform vessel lengthening and maintenance and repair for the NASA Barge PEGASUS. The PEGASUS is a 260' long by 50' beam by 15' depth sea-going barge owned by NASA for the purpose of transporting rockets and rocket components from manufacturing location to test location to launch location. The vessel is located at JOHN C. STENNIS Space Center near Kiln, MS. The lengthening shall increase the vessel length from 260 feet to 310 feet and consist of removal of 115 feet of the barge midbody, fabrication of 165 feet of stronger midbody, and insertion of the new midbody between the original bow and stern sections. The work requires extensive structural modifications. Drydocking of the vessel is required. As a result of the lengthening the following associated modifications will be required: Six additional ballast tanks will be added with associated changes to the ballast system. New black and grey water tank and associated piping modifications to connect the new tank to the existing sewage treatment system and grey water drains. Extensive modifications to the barge's electrical systems including replacement of the ship service generators and switchboard. Reducing the size of the potable water tank to make room for a third generator set and re-insulating the generator space to reduce air and structure borne noise on the barge. (Optional) A tunnel type bow thruster and associated hull modifications. (Optional) Installation of a system to measure deck deflections.
