The contract involves the construction of new low-rise facilities to support the Marine Expeditionary Force (MEF) 9th Engineer Support Battalion.
The buildings will feature reinforced concrete structural frames, walls, floors, roofs and shallow foundation systems.
The joint venture will build key facilities including an auto organisation shop, electrical/communications maintenance shop, organic storage, vehicle wash rack, and vehicle laydown area.
Curt Haldeman, Granite vice president of regional operations said, “We are honoured to continue our partnership with Naval Facilities Engineering Systems Command (NAVFAC) Pacific on this critical mission.
“This contract not only strengthens our relationship with NAVFAC Pacific but also reinforces our role as a key contributor to the successful realignment of Marines from Okinawa to Guam.”
The project is expected to begin in October 2024 and be completed in January 2027.
