United States Navy officials selected seven contractors to compete for $ 2 billion in construction tasks for southern work -East, the Department of Defense announced on June 5.
Command of naval installation engineering systems (NAVFAC) Southeast granted the indefinite delivery delivery firm of indefinite delivery of indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity (language) of $ 1.999 billion for various multiple awards building projects (language) for various construction, renewal, demolition and repair projects.
The award is the largest recruitment tool in the history of the south -East of Navfac, said Captain Miguel Dieguez, his commander, in a statement. The contract “will provide the essential capacity through a chart of highly qualified contractors to deliver investments in critical infrastructure to the mission throughout the Southeast region over the coming years,” he added.
Selected companies include BL Harbert International LLC, Gilbane Federal, Hensel Phelps, RQ Construction LLC, Sauer Construction LLC, Whiting-Turner Contracting Co. and WALSH FEDERAL LLC. Officials said that 18 contractors initially presented qualifications for the work.
The use of Maccs to qualify the contractors pre-perhaps project management and guarantees the reliability of the contractor, said Lindsay Betteridge, a specialist in supervision contracts at Navfac Southeast, in a statement.
“The MACC saves the command and the time and resources of the government,” said Betteridge.
Work under the contract must be completed until June 2030.
Hospital of Guantanamo Bay granted
Navfac Southeast also granted a fixed price contract of $ 227.6 million on June 3 at DPR-RQ Construction LLC for a project to build a outpatient center and a dental clinic at the naval station of Guantanamo Bay in Cuba.
DPR-RQ was the only bidder of the work, according to the notice of the award of the Defense Dept.
With the contract options that have not yet been exercised, the value would increase to $ 237.1 million. Navfac finances the work on an increase.
The complex planned would replace obsolete facilities to provide medical services to military staff and their families. The project is scheduled for completion until September 2029.
