WATSONVILLE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Granite (NYSE:GVA) has been awarded an approximately $126 million contract by Naval Facilities Engineering Systems Command (NAVFAC) Pacific for the construction of buildings and infrastructure which will support the relocation of U.S. Marines to Marine Corps Base (MCB) Camp Blaz, Guam, USA. The project will be funded by NAVFAC Pacific and be included in Granite’s 2023 first-quarter CAP.
Granite's work involves constructing three buildings, totaling more than 110,000 square feet, and site infrastructure related to the relocation of U.S. Marines to Guam from Okinawa, Japan. The project encompasses a warehouse for battalion equipment storage, a climate-controlled space for electronic equipment maintenance and support of battalion vehicles, an automotive organizational shop for the upkeep and support of battalion vehicles, a reinforced concrete four-bay vehicle wash rack, and a reinforced concrete vehicle holding shed for vehicles awaiting repairs and service.
“This strategic win is a result of Granite's Federal Division's more than a decade-long work in Guam, supporting initiatives to strengthen our home market and promoting our client-centric culture,” said Granite VP of Regional Operations, Curt Haldeman. “This project diversifies our Federal portfolio, and we are extremely excited to continue our partnership with NAVFAC and strengthen our commitment to the Department of Defense's Guam buildup initiative.”
The project will begin in April 2023 and is expected to be completed by December 2025.
