Billions of MilCon on the way

Military construction in Guam and the Micronesia region is proceeding slowly but surely.

And some contractors will share in a design build multiple award construction contract or DBMAC of $15 billion, for work in Guam and other areas, according to the pre-solicitation posted on April 25.

“Contractors will be expected to accomplish a wide variety of individual construction tasks, including design/build and design-bid-build renovation, additions/upgrades and new construction. Work may include, but is not limited to, barracks/dormitories, administrative facilities, communication facilities, educational facilities, medical/dental/hospital facilities, dining facilities, industrial facilities, warehouse facilities, ranges, operational/training facilities, roads, streets, bridges, site utilities/infrastructure, dredging, and aviation facilities (including hangars and aprons) and other base development facilities,” according to the pre-solicitation.

Responses are due June 15. Contractors will be evaluated in Phase 1. A minimum of three contractors will be selected, with a pre-proposal site visit during Phase 2.

Naval Facilities Engineering Command Pacific is responsible for the contract.
