Subject: | [CPEO-MEF] Local work at Hunters Point |
The Navy reports additional progress in its efforts to utilize the local community in the cleanup of its closed Hunters Point shipyard in San Francisco: "IT [the Navy's remedial action contractor] hired a total of 20 community members through December 2000. In addition, one of IT's protege firms, Innovative Technical Solutions, Inc. (ITSI), hired two community members. ITSI is prepared to hire additional workers from the community as their work load ramps up. IT is preparing to mobilize to Parcels C and D at the end of January 2001, for steam line evaluation and removal work. IT has reported that this work will be awarded to ITSI and another IT protege firm, Mendelian Construction, a local Bayview Hunters Point hub zone contractor. "For the Parcel B cleanup, 13 contracts were identified for qualified Bayview Hunters Point companies. Ten of these contracts were awarded to Bayview Hunters Point contractors who had the skill necessary to complete the work.... "For the Parcel E landfill cap, the largest dollar value subcontracts were for trucking and liner placement. Several local trucking firms were used to import the fill soil. IT had local hires working on the landfill cap performing soil placement and grading work, supporting the trucking effort, and performing air monitoring activities." -- Lenny Siegel Director, Center for Public Environmental Oversight c/o PSC, 222B View St., Mountain View, CA 94041 Voice: 650/961-8918 or 650/969-1545 Fax: 650/968-1126 lsiegel@cpeo.org http://www.cpeo.org ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ | |
