Oak Point Associates to design repairs and improvements at Portsmouth Naval Shipyard and other Navy facilities

Congresswoman Chellie Pingree said today that Oak Point Associates in Biddeford has won a $10 million Navy contract to design and engineer improvements to the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard in Kittery and at other Navy facilities on the East Coast.

"This is great news for the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard and the local economy," Pingree said. "The design and engineering work that Oak Point is going to do for Portsmouth will improve a number of buildings at the yard and make them more energy efficient. That helps keep the yard competitive and supports good paying local jobs at the same time."

Oak Point will be responsible for engineering, design and construction services for projects involving many types of industrial facilities at Navy installations throughout the Mid-Atlantic. The first job on the list is a $800,000 project to repair and improve buildings M1, M2 and M3 at PNSY.
