Abercrombie Announces $9 Million to Hawaii Firm for Navy Housing Work

Congressman Neil Abercrombie announced today that a Honolulu company will receive $9,050,788 for management, repair and maintenance of Navy family housing on Oahu.

The work will be performed under an option exercised by the Navy on a previously awarded contract with Hui O Hawaii Hale, LLC.

Today's award brings the total value of the contract to $28,387,618.

The contract involves approximately 2,500 family housing units, associated playgrounds/tot lots, community centers and other related facilities.

The work is expected to be completed in September 2006.

"This work will support and enhance the quality of life for military families," said Abercrombie. "Although service members enlist as individuals, they serve and sacrifice as families. We owe them decent housing that meets the needs of growing families."

"The project is important to our economy. It will translate into paychecks for island residents, and it signals a continuing commitment to Hawaii by the U.S. armed forces.

"I'm especially pleased that a Hawaii small business won this award. It shows that island contractors can compete successfully for military business against mainland firms."

Abercrombie is a senior member of the House Armed Services Committee, which authorizes military construction projects and other programs for the U.S. Armed Forces.
