[CPEO-MEF] Hunters Points subcontracts

[Lenny Siegel <lsiegel@cpeo.org>]

Since the official decision to close San Francisco's Hunters Point Naval
Shipyard, residents of the adjacent Bayview neighborhood have pressed
hard for employment and contracting opportunities associated with the
cleanup and closure of the shipyard. I just received a copy of the
Navy's June, 2000 Hunters Point Shipyard environmental cleanup
newsletter. It reports that the Navy has made a serious effort to
respond to the community's needs.

The Navy reports: "Cleanup work has been performed by the Navy's
Remedial Action Contractor, IT Corporation (IT), as well as a variety of
subcontractors to IT. Subcontracts totaled 72 percent of the dollars
spent by IT for work at Hunters Point Shipyard. Approximately $6 million
were awarded to local Hunters Point/Bayview firms assisting the local
economy and businesses. A variety of material, equipment, and supplies
were procured as well as subcontracted services for significant scopes
of work." The newsletter lists 33 local firms that have subcontracted at
Hunters Point.
