The Maritime Administration found acceptable a $122,689 low bid from Sewart Seacraft, a Teledyne division, to build a welded aluminum lobstering and crab fishboat for Nicholas Rosa of Brooklyn. Because Japanese construction was estimated at $71,000, the government will cover the $51,689 differential, subsidized through the Department of the Interior.
A bid of $122,689 for the construction of a welded aluminum lobstering and crab fishboat for Nicholas Rosa of Brooklyn, N.Y., has been reported as acceptable by the Maritime Administration. The bid, the lowest received, was made by Sewart Seacraft Division of Teledyne, Inc. of Berwick, La.
