NAVFAC Awards Hurricane Cleanup Contracts

The Naval Facility Engineering Commands southern division has awarded four indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity, multiple-award construction contracts with a total value of $350 million for the cleanup of Pensacola Naval Air Station and its outlying airfields. Hurricane Ivan damaged the areas in September as it made landfall in the Florida Panhandle. Cleanup is expected to take three years, and each contract is for one year with two one-year extensions. Contracts were awarded to KBRs government and infrastructure division, Arlington, Va.; Sauer Inc., Jacksonville, Fla.; Ellis Environmental Group, Newberry, Fla.; and CH2M Hill, Englewood, Colo. Each task order will be competed individually, and expected to be between $3 million and $15 million. KBR, which began working at the site just after Ivan struck under a rapid response Construction Capability Contract, was issued the initial task order under the new construction contracts.

60% of workers are exposed to heights greater than 5 ft daily, and workers' compensation from injury is more than $7B - it's time for construction leaders to take measures to reduce risk and create a safer work environment. We'll explore how technology can improve construction site safety and help prevent accidents before they happen.
