According to the announcement, which came from Washington, D.C., the initiation of detailed studies leading to this deter- mination will include the Naval Weapons Center. At NWC, nine functions affecting about 290 civilian employees will be studied. They are: motor vehicle operations motor vehicle mainlena/lce, supply ~rations, storage I warebousing, cataloguing, family housing maintenance, security services bUilding I structure maintenance, and recreational library services. A decision to have these functions per_ fonned by contract with private sources LEADING THE WAY - This sketch by illustrAtor Bill Erwin symbolizes Activity will be made only if the detaiJed studies currenlly UnderwAY .....t Is leAding up to Project Community Pride, An AII·lulnds indicate that they can be satisfactorily effort aimed a spic-and-span main site area on the Naval Weapons Center. performed by the private sector and that Plans announced for Proiect Community Pride Project Community Pride, scheduled for Saturday, Jan. 17, 198I,.will result in a tidy and Iitter-free main site at NWC. Forty letters have been sent to clubs and organizations to ask for help in the massive clean-up, and Natalie Harrison, tho Com- munity Liaison Assistant, is compiling a list of individuals not associated with groups who volunteer by telephoning NWC ext. 3481. More volunteers are being sought. Battlelines have been drawn for the war on trash and litter. Ens. Ken Dorrell, Facilities Planning Officer in the Public Works Department, will serve as chairman of the operation, with the two full-time members of the Clean- Up Squad (Mike Cobb and Bob Woolever) as his executive aides. . Members of Reserve Naval Mobile Construction Battalion 17, Detachment 0217, will drive pickup trucks and dump trucks between the clean-up squads and the county dump during the operational hours of 10 a.m. until 3 in the afternoon. Each of the trucks will carry a radio to ensure com· munication between the squads and •'headquarters.•, The command post for Project Com- munity Pride will be ",t Bennington Plaza in front of the Center theater, where free refreshments will be provided for workers by the Recreation Services Department from noon to 3 p.m. Ens. Dorrell will assign an area for clean- up to each organization and individual volunteering. NWC military and civilian personnel who wish to volunteer to clean around their work site should indicate the assignment they wish when they telephone Ms. Harrison to volunteer. Trash will be collected in plastic bags tmprinted with the Projec1 Community Pride logo. Aluminum cans and bottles will be sacked separately so that the Seabees can transport the cans and bottles to the recycling center rather than to the dump. Oasis Garden Club members have volunteored their expertise to prune shrubs in the Center's public areas such as the rose garden at the Community Center to enhance the appearance of NWC. significant savings of tax dollars can be achieved. The study of the nine local functions will be conducted by personne1 at the Center. It is expected to begin immediately and will tske approximately two years to complete. The study will determine, based on rigorous comparison of contract costs versus "in-house" costs, how the work is to be perfonned. If such decisions are made, Congress 8IId the public will be notified according· to normal procedures. Civilian employees affec1ed· by a decision to convert per- formance to the private sector will receive assistance by federal placement programs, including relocation to obtain transfer or reasslgrunent to other positions in the Deparbnent of.Defense or to other federaJ agencies, at government expense. CONSISTENT WITH GDV'T PDLICT All Navy instsI\ations have functions that could be inc1uded in the commercial and industrtaJ activities program. U it is determined that contract performance is consistent witbmission requirements 8IId Is cost effective, the functions would be subjecf: to conversion to contractual per_ formance. This is consistent with the general policy of the government to rely on competitive privateenterprise to supplfthe products 8IId services it needs. The U.s. Office of Management and Budget CircuJar A-76 directs that aD c0n- tracts awarded for couunercial and in- dustrial functions include a provision, consistent with government post em- ployment conflict of interest standards, that the conlractor will give federal employees who are displaced as a resuJt of the con- version to contract performance the right of first refusaJ for employment openings on the contract in positions for which they are quatified. , OCR Text: Tickets for all-hands Xmas dinner-dance Dec. 13 going fast Tickels are going fast for the NWC All Hands CbrIsImas dinner-dance to be held on Saturday, Dec. 13, at the Enlisted Mess.

According to the announcement, which came from Washington, D.C., the initiation of detailed studies leading to this deter- mination will include the Naval Weapons Center. At NWC, nine functions affecting about 290 civilian employees will be studied. They are: motor vehicle operations motor vehicle mainlena/lce, supply ~rations, storage I warebousing, cataloguing, family housing maintenance, security services bUilding I structure maintenance, and recreational library services. A decision to have these functions per_ fonned by contract with private sources LEADING THE WAY - This sketch by illustrAtor Bill Erwin symbolizes Activity will be made only if the detaiJed studies currenlly UnderwAY .....t Is leAding up to Project Community Pride, An AII·lulnds indicate that they can be satisfactorily effort aimed a spic-and-span main site area on the Naval Weapons Center. performed by the private sector and that Plans announced for Proiect Community Pride Project Community Pride, scheduled for Saturday, Jan. 17, 198I,.will result in a tidy and Iitter-free main site at NWC. Forty letters have been sent to clubs and organizations to ask for help in the massive clean-up, and Natalie Harrison, tho Com- munity Liaison Assistant, is compiling a list of individuals not associated with groups who volunteer by telephoning NWC ext. 3481. More volunteers are being sought. Battlelines have been drawn for the war on trash and litter. Ens. Ken Dorrell, Facilities Planning Officer in the Public Works Department, will serve as chairman of the operation, with the two full-time members of the Clean- Up Squad (Mike Cobb and Bob Woolever) as his executive aides. . Members of Reserve Naval Mobile Construction Battalion 17, Detachment 0217, will drive pickup trucks and dump trucks between the clean-up squads and the county dump during the operational hours of 10 a.m. until 3 in the afternoon. Each of the trucks will carry a radio to ensure com· munication between the squads and •'headquarters.•, The command post for Project Com- munity Pride will be ",t Bennington Plaza in front of the Center theater, where free refreshments will be provided for workers by the Recreation Services Department from noon to 3 p.m. Ens. Dorrell will assign an area for clean- up to each organization and individual volunteering. NWC military and civilian personnel who wish to volunteer to clean around their work site should indicate the assignment they wish when they telephone Ms. Harrison to volunteer. Trash will be collected in plastic bags tmprinted with the Projec1 Community Pride logo. Aluminum cans and bottles will be sacked separately so that the Seabees can transport the cans and bottles to the recycling center rather than to the dump. Oasis Garden Club members have volunteored their expertise to prune shrubs in the Center's public areas such as the rose garden at the Community Center to enhance the appearance of NWC. significant savings of tax dollars can be achieved. The study of the nine local functions will be conducted by personne1 at the Center. It is expected to begin immediately and will tske approximately two years to complete. The study will determine, based on rigorous comparison of contract costs versus "in-house" costs, how the work is to be perfonned. If such decisions are made, Congress 8IId the public will be notified according· to normal procedures. Civilian employees affec1ed· by a decision to convert per- formance to the private sector will receive assistance by federal placement programs, including relocation to obtain transfer or reasslgrunent to other positions in the Deparbnent of.Defense or to other federaJ agencies, at government expense. CONSISTENT WITH GDV'T PDLICT All Navy instsI\ations have functions that could be inc1uded in the commercial and industrtaJ activities program. U it is determined that contract performance is consistent witbmission requirements 8IId Is cost effective, the functions would be subjecf: to conversion to contractual per_ formance. This is consistent with the general policy of the government to rely on competitive privateenterprise to supplfthe products 8IId services it needs. The U.s. Office of Management and Budget CircuJar A-76 directs that aD c0n- tracts awarded for couunercial and in- dustrial functions include a provision, consistent with government post em- ployment conflict of interest standards, that the conlractor will give federal employees who are displaced as a resuJt of the con- version to contract performance the right of first refusaJ for employment openings on the contract in positions for which they are quatified. , China Lake Museum,Rocketeer Newspaper,Rocketeer 1980s,Rocketeer 1980,Rktr12.5.1980.pdf,Rktr12.5.1980.pdf Page 1, Rktr12.5.1980.pdf Page 1
