PEARL HARBOR (NNS) -- Naval Facilities Engineering Command (NAVFAC) Pacific awarded Shaw-Dick Pacific LLC, of Honolulu, a firm-fixed contract for nearly $176 million on April 12 for the construction of a new National Security Agency (NSA) facility.

An additional $142.2 million will be funded upon the passage of the FY08 Military Construction Appropriation Bill, making the total contract value $318.2 million.

The new 250,000-square-foot complex will be constructed on the U.S. Navy’s Naval Computer and Telecommunications Area Master Station Pacific (NCTAMS PAC), Wahiawa, Oahu.

“The contract award was definitely a team effort,” said NAVFAC Pacific’s Gary Yamagata, Hawaii Regional Security Operations Center program manager. "I just want to congratulate everyone from NSA, NAVFAC, and Navy Region Hawaii who worked on it, and I look forward to starting this most important construction project.”

The scope of work includes a new operations and data center facility (OPS). The two-story primary OPS facility will house a command center, operations briefing center, data analysis section, mission planning areas, administrative offices, and video-teleconferencing rooms. All necessary information technology support system infrastructures, including data transport rooms and communications centers, will also be included.

In addition to the OPS facility, several support buildings comprised of a new base entry control facility, a new warehouse facility, and a new visitors control center will be constructed.

Construction is scheduled to begin as early as this spring and be completed in the summer of 2010.
