The work to be performed provides for environmental restoration under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act and similarly complex local and state environmental investigations. Work will be performed at various Navy and Marine Corps facilities and other government facilities within NAVFAC Northwest AOR including, but not limited to Washington, (75 percent), Alaska, (22 percent), Oregon, (1 percent), Idaho, (1 percent), and Montana, (1 percent), and is expected to be completed by May 2014.

Northrop Grumman Shipbuilding, Inc., Newport News, Va., is being awarded a $21,000,000 modification to previously awarded contract (N00024-08-C-2100) for the accomplishment of the FY08 Extended Drydocking Selected Restricted Availability (EDSRA) of USS Enterprise (CVN 65). EDSRAs are similar to overhauls in that they restore the ship, including all subsystems that affect combat capability and safety, to established performance standards. Additionally, an EDSRA provides an opportunity to perform hull inspections and recoating and other maintenance related evolutions below the waterline that cannot be accomplished while the ship is waterborne. The EDSRA provides sufficient time to perform more extensive propulsion plant repairs and testing than is possible during an Extended Selected Restricted Availability. Work will be performed in Newport News, Va., and is expected to be completed by August 2009. Contract funds in the amount of $21,000,000 will expire at the end of the current fiscal year. The Naval Sea Systems Command, Washington Navy Yard, D.C., is the contracting activity.
