Here's my proposal. Listen up Uncle Sam. I need the north end, and the west side of the Navy's trident basin. I will need a minimal of property encompassing the docks for shops, lofts, cranes, etc., required in this endeavor. Contractors will be selected using a bidding process, with the first right to refusal given to local contractors.
Local contractors means a bonified resident business with resident employees.
Tasks requiring drydocking will be executed promptly. The graving dock will never be used as a wet lay-berth. National defense interests take preference. Emergencies will get serious consideration. Nothin' to it.
