JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (NNS) -- Naval Facilities Engineering Command (NAVFAC) Southeast awarded a $30 million indefinite delivery indefinite quantity (IDIQ) architect/engineering (A/E) contract on Aug. 13 to URS Group, Inc., of Tampa, Fla.

"This contract for A/E services will enhance our capability to accomplish projects for our Navy, Marine Corps and Air Force commands," said NAVFAC Southeast Deputy Operations Officer John Knox. "This contract will assist with larger projects and increase our capacity and responsiveness."

Knox explained that a $30 million contract like this for design work translates into $300 million in construction work for the area.

The work to be performed provides for development of solicitation packages, design build as well as full design, and all associated A/E services for work in the NAVFAC Southeast area of responsibility. Work will be performed at various Navy and Marine Corps facilities and other government and non-government facilities at locations including, but not limited to Florida (except for the Gulf coast of Florida from Panama City to the Alabama border), Kings Bay, Georgia, Guantamano Bay, Cuba, Andros Island Bahamas and Puerto Rico.

The first task order for this contract was awarded Aug. 17 in the amount of $172,803.00 for a Port Operations Waterfront Administrative Facility at U.S. Marine Corps Blount Island Command in Jacksonville, Fla. URS Group will prepare a design-build request for proposal for construction of a new multi-story waterfront operations support facility to include a container operations office, harbor security office and a multiple user waterfront operations building.

The expected completion date for all work on this contract is August 2014.
