S A N D I EG O S C E N E Construction of the New Naval Hospital at Camp Pendleton 70 Percent Complete Construction of a new $ 451 million Naval Hospital at Camp Pendleton is 70 percent complete, according to the joint venture team in charge of the project. Clark Construction Group LLC and McCarthy Building Cos. Inc. are charged with building the 500,000-square-foot hospital that will replace the existing facility. The project falls under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act and represents the largest one in the Navy, having a base contract value of $394 million and incorporating a planned modification for turnkey medical equipment valued at $55 million. Completion is targeted for early 2014. Seventy percent of the subcontracts issued by Clark/McCarthy have gone to first-tier small businesses (more than $200 million worth out of a total of $320 million). More than 50 percent issued specifically to Service Disabled Veteran Owned Small Businesses add up to $160 million out of the total $320 million. 1 2 S A N D I E G O M E T R O .

S A N D I EG O S C E N E Tribal Gaming Boosts California Economy by $7.5 Million a Year Tribal government gaming in California — including the casinos operated by 10 gaming tribes in San Diego County — has a $7.5 billion annual impact and supports more than 52,000 jobs for residents, according to a new study commissioned by the California Nations Indian Gaming Association. The study was done by Beacon Economics, an independent economic research firm, which gave these key findings: • Tribal gaming generates $7.5 billion for California’s economy. More than half of that amount ($3.9 billion), was generated outside of direct spending from the gaming operations. That means that businesses throughout California’s economy — the vast majority of which are non-tribal — are being buoyed by tribal gaming. • California tribal gaming creates more than 52,000 jobs and $2.7 billion in income for Californians. The Beacon study estimates that upwards of 80 percent of casino employees are non-tribal members, and finds that many tribal gaming jobs are filled by lower-skilled workers, those hurt most by the economic downturn. • Tribal government gaming operations generate $467 million in Daniel Tucker, Sycuan tribal chairman state and local revenues, and non-gaming operations provide an additional $47 million in state and local revenues. • Revenue generated by tribal gaming provides essential support to non-gaming tribes, funding a range of services including education, health care and housing. Non-gaming tribes receive up to $1.1 million annually from the Revenue Sharing Trust Fund. To date, the analysis shows that $818 million has been distributed to help reduce the reliance of non-gaming tribes on state and local governments. “California tribes made a promise to California voters: we promised we would provide for our people and land as governments, we would provide jobs for our people and our neighbors, we would be good neighbors sharing responsibility for services like fire and police and environmental protection, as well as supporting nonprofits and public entities that contribute to the quality of life in our regions,” said Daniel Tucker, chairman of CNIGA and chairman of the Sycuan tribe in El Cajon. 2 7 T H A N N I V E R S A R Y 1 9 8 5 - 2 0 1 2 | S E P T E M B E R 2 0 1 2 | S A N D I E G O M E T R O .
