BANGOR, Wash. (AP) — The Navy has awarded a $51.9 million contract to a Hawaii company for a massive, 2-mile long security fence at the Naval Base Kitsap-Bangor, home to the Pacific Trident missile nuclear submarines.
The Kitsap Sun says Naval Facilities Engineering Command Northwest announced Friday that the work will be done by Watts-Granite of Honolulu.
The company is to construct the 11,300-foot fence system from south of the submarines’ Delta Pier to north of the explosives handling wharf. It will include two chain-link fences with a gravel zone between them and grassy clear zones on the outside — 90 feet wide in all. The fence also will have lighting, sensors, cameras, a patrol road and entry control points.
