The work to be performed provides for the construction of the infrastructure necessary at Dry Dock 6 to bring the shipyard into compliance with current environmental standards for the collection and treatment of industrial process water. The work will be performed in Bremerton, Wash., and is expected to be completed by October 2013. Contract funds will not expire at the end of the current fiscal year. Three proposals were received for this task order.
