                       Sunday, September 28, 2008

  Mr. SMITH of New Jersey. Madam Speaker, I submit the following:
  Requesting Member: Rep. Christopher H. Smith.
  Bill Number: H.R. 2638.
  Account: Military Construction, Navy Account.
  Legal Name of Requesting Entity: Naval Weapons Station (NWS) Earle.
  Address of Requesting Entity: Colts Neck, New Jersey.
  Description of Request: This project will upgrade the Main Gate 
located at Naval Weapons Station (NWS) Earle. These upgrades will 
provide the proper Anti-terrorism Force Protection (AT/FP) measures 
required for current security and terrorist threats. Construction will 
consist of the following: gate access realignment; reinforced 
ornamental fencing along the public highway; new security fencing 
surrounding guardhouse area; removal of existing guard house; and 
removal of existing parking areas; hardened guard house, intrusion 
detection system (IDS), local area network (LAN), and base wide alarm 
duress system; site lighting with connections tied into existing 
generator; raised median; rejection area for privately owned vehicles 
(POVs); permanent vehicle inspection shelter with CCTV, for one truck 
and two POVs side by side; undercarriage video surveillance equipment; 
permanent passive barriers from fence and gate to active vehicle 
barriers; two active (pop-up) vehicle barriers; elevated fighting 
position; hardening of existing generator; sidewalks on both the 
inbound and outbound sides; relocate entrances to parking for Family/
Housing Services and to Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD); construct 
new connector road to EOD; demolish existing pass and identification 
office; construct new pass/i.d, within new inspection facility and 
provide 54 parking spaces.
  NWS Earle has been fortunate to not experience serious assaults or 
threats; however, continued operations without major security 
improvements could result in exposing NWS Earle's valuable assets and 
personnel to terrorist activity.
  Detailed Financial Plan:
  The majority of the funding (approximately $6.5 M) will be used for 
Electronic and Mechanical Utilities and Site Improvements, including: 
Area Lighting; Water Distribution; Sanitary Sewer System; Paving and 
Site Improvements; Storm Water Management; and Demolition.
  The rest will fund Special Construction Features, which total 
$1,515,766 M and include:
  Active vehicle barrier--$91,036.00.
  Passive vehicle barriers--$270,213.00.
  Security fencing--$208,801.00.
  Automatic traffic controls/devices--$245,648.00.
  Inspection enclosure (truck/car)--$85,977.00.
