SAN DIEGO (NNS) -- Naval Facilities Engineering Command (NAVFAC) Southwest awarded Bilbro Construction Co. Inc. of Escondido, Calif. a $7.3 million contract April 30 for a design-build renovation of Watkins Hall bachelor enlisted quarters (BEQ) located at Naval Support Activity Monterey.

Bilbro Construction Co. Inc. will replace mechanical, plumbing, and electrical systems.

"Coordination with the end user and stakeholders are the key to a successful renovation," said Meryll Gonzalez, NAVFAC Southwest project manager for this project.
