Iodine molecular forms and deposition rates are also discussed.
Marine Corps Installations East oversees several bases in North Carolina including Camp Lejeune, New River, and Cherry Point. There was over $300 million in construction opportunities across these bases in 2012, ranging from small maintenance projects to multi-million dollar construction. Military construction funding peaked in 2011 but has declined since, though annual funding of around $300 million for projects is expected going forward. Energy efficiency is also a major focus, with goals of reducing energy use and increasing renewable energy sources.
The document is a presentation given by Marjorie Sadler, a Supervisory Contract Specialist at the Resident Officer in Charge of Construction (ROICC) at Marine Corps Air Station Cherry Point, about contracting opportunities at the base. It provides an overview of the facilities and customers at the base, recent and upcoming construction projects, and how small businesses can find out about and pursue contracting opportunities for architectural and engineering services, construction, and facilities maintenance.
Effective July 1, the Water Authority is reducing water supply deliveries to its 24 member agencies by 8 percent. The Water Authority is taking this action as a response to reduced water supplies caused by regulatory restrictions on water deliveries from Northern California, lingering drought, and a 13 percent cutback from the Water Authority's largest water supplier, the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California.
In April 2009, to prepare for these cutbacks, the Water Authority declared a Level 2 "Drought Alert," enabling member agencies to implement local mandatory water restrictions. Restrictions will vary by member agency. To find out the restrictions in your area, please visit www.sdcwa.org/manage/droughtordinance_agencies.phtml
