SAN DIEGO (NNS) -- Naval Facilities Engineering Command (NAVFAC) Southwest awarded Pacific West Builders of National City, Calif. a $778,000 Recovery Act funded contract April 29 to renovate 13 bachelor enlisted quarters at Naval Base Point Loma (NBPL).

"The NAVFAC Southwest team at Naval Base Point Loma is excited to contribute to the ARRA initiative," said Lt. Mike McCain, NAVFAC Southwest Facilities Engineering and Acquisition Division (FEAD) director for Public Works Department (PWD) at NBPL. "The bachelor enlisted quarters renovation project will improve quality of life for Sailors, and have a positive economic impact on San Diego and the local community."

Pacific West Builders will renovate 13 bachelor enlisted quarters at Naval Mine and Anti-Submarine Warfare Command at NBPL in San Diego. Installation work will include a fire sprinkler and fire alarm systems. Construction work will include demolition of existing plumbing fixtures, doors, cabinetry, floor finishes, wall finishes, and construction of new walls, cabinetry, fixtures, and finishes.

"Pacific West Builders is pleased to be the recipient of this contract," said Patricia I. Romero, Pacific West Builders president. "We feel it highlights all the positive attributes of the Recovery Act. It improves the living condition of the men and women who serve our country, improves the energy efficiency of an existing structure and assists in modernizing the Navy Shore Infrastructure."

At the same time, it provides a positive impact to the local economy by putting San Diegans to work. Not only will it help us to retain our employees, but will help us to enlarge our workforce. Other local businesses will benefit, too, through subcontract opportunities and materials purchases. We look forward to working in partnership with the Navy to assure the successful completion of a project that benefits us all."
