NAVFAC Pacific awards construction contract to upgrade Naval Base Guam

Naval Facilities Engineering Command (NAVFAC) Pacific has awarded a contract to Guam MACC Builders for the construction of modular storage magazines at Naval Base Guam.

As part of the $42.3m firm-fixed-price task order under a multiple award construction contract, Guam will be tasked with the construction of 28 modular storage magazines as well as security fencing, electrical power and security lighting.

Work under the contract also includes communication and emergency generator building, clearing and grubbing, grading, paving and site improvements. It is expected to be completed by June 2016.

NAVFAC Marianas executive officer captain Doug King said: "This contract will deliver infrastructure improvements to Naval BaseGuam, and enhance overall mission readiness of the base."

The site improvements to be carried out as part of the order include access roads, concrete aprons, circulation roadways, drainage, percolation basins, waterlines and incidental related work.

Last week, NAVFAC awarded a $53.7m order to dck-ecc Pacific Guam to design and build an aircraft maintenance hangar at Andersen Air Force Base, Guam.

The new aircraft maintenance hangar would offer operational and maintenance facilities to support the already placed US Marine Corps aviation squadrons during training evolutions.
