Federal agencies also began to let ARRA work by the summer. The Naval Facilities Engineering Command awarded a $40.9 million fixed-price contract to Barton Malow of Linthicum, Md., for renovation at the U.S. Naval Academy in Annapolis, Md. The project, which is scheduled for completion by August 2011, includes work at the King Hall Galley and other food service operations.
Grunley Construction of Rockville, Md., is among the field of firms reaping awards under the U.S. General Service Administration’s ARRA funding for modernization of federal buildings. Grunley and its joint venture partner Gilbane Building of Laurel, Md., won a $158 million contract for Phase 2 and Phase 3 of the Herbert C. Hoover Building modernization project in Washington. The project, which began in August, modernizes nearly 400,000-sq-ft of space, including security upgrades, exterior façade repair and energy efficiency upgrades. Completion is expected by June 2013. The partners are currently completing the $40 million first phase of the eight-phase project.
