Naval
Facilities Engineering Command (NAVFAC) Hawaii awarded a $19.6 million
firm-fixed-price task order under a multiple award construction contract
Jan. 25 to Bethel-Webcor JV-1, a small business in Anchorage, Alaska.
The project will construct a Waterfront Support Facility for Naval Special
Warfare Group 3 (NSWG-3) at Pearl City Peninsula, Oahu, Hawaii. |
The new
facility is to support Navy divers and technicians by providing work
space for operations, training, planning and mission support in addition
to equipment storage and load out areas.
"We are very pleased that this contract has been awarded and construction
will be moving forward," said Command Master Chief David Salisbury,
NSWG-3. "Space has been at a premium for many years and the new
structure and renovation will afford us some much needed room to work."
Facility space will also be provided in support of NSWG-3 Holistic Human
Performance Center.
This project will include renovations to Building 987 and construction
of a second floor space in the building's high bay area.
"The additional space being created by NAVFAC Hawaii in this combined
effort will greatly enhance our capability to support training,"
said Salisbury. "With our ever increasing workload and limited
land here on Oahu, this project is a welcomed addition to our community."
Work is expected to be completed by February 2018. |
