JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (NNS) -- Naval Facilities Engineering Command (NAVFAC) Southeast awarded Greenhut Construction Company, Inc. of Pensacola, Fla., a $10.6 million American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) contract Sept. 18 to repair and modernize administrative building 1500 at Naval Air Station (NAS) Pensacola.

"NAS Pensacola's headquarters building requires major repairs and renovations. Due to budgetary shortfalls these repairs have long been deferred so the facilities housing tenant commands with critical missions could accomplish those missions," said Capt. William Reavey, NAS Pensacola commanding officer. "This project provides us the opportunity to not only restore one of our historic buildings, but also provide a modern facility from which to execute the NAS Pensacola mission. We are looking forward to the completion of this very important project."

Work to be performed provides for design, repair and modernization of administrative building 1500 to a safe and usable condition to house NAS Pensacola command section and support staff.

The project will replace the heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) system, repair plumbing systems by replacing fixtures, water supply pipes and drain pipes and will replace the electrical distribution system.

Work on this contract will also replace the interior doors, frames and partitions; refinish wood doors on the south side of the building and replace the steel double doors on the north side; refinish existing floors; install suspended ceilings; and replace existing windows with antiterrorism/force protection (AT/FP) compliant double-paned insulating glass units.

Safety and accessibility issues will be addressed with replacement of the fire alarm and fire suppression systems, as well as the installation of an elevator and a handicap ramp to meet the American Disabilities Act requirements.

Included in the contract are site improvements for the replacement of sidewalks and repairing of parking lots.

The expected completion date for work under this contract is April 2011.

ARRA projects are intended to modernize Department of Defense shore infrastructure, enhance America's energy independence and sustain a steady and robust military force for decades.
