NORFOLK, Va. (NNS) -- Naval Facilities Engineering Command (NAVFAC) Mid-Atlantic awarded an $8.2 million firm-fixed price contract June 22 to Noah Enterprises, Inc., a small business in Virginia Beach, Va., for design and construction of First Naval Construction Division (1NCD) Operations Control Facility.
The building will be at Joint Expeditionary Base (JEB) Little Creek-Fort Story.
Work to be performed provides for the design and construction of a two-story headquarters facility with administrative areas, sensitive compartmented intelligence facility, data processing areas, support facilities, and mechanical, electrical and communications spaces.
The current building was originally constructed as a barracks in 1944. Since 1974, it has been used as a Seabee headquarters facility when Construction Battalion Atlantic (CBLANT) moved in Aug. 15. CBLANT became the Second Naval Construction Brigade July 1, 1992 and Aug. 9, 2002, the First Naval Construction Division was commissioned.
The new Operations Control Facility will allow 1NCD to focus on its mission to organize, train, operate and maintain the Naval Construction Force—the Navy's subject matter expert for Seabees.
As a scalable, deployable force, 1NCD provides command and control of multiple expeditionary construction elements in support of Marine air-ground task forces and other joint force components and, if required, command and control of multiple Navy Expeditionary Combat Command expeditionary elements across the full range of military operations.
NAVFAC manages the planning, design, construction, contingency engineering, real estate, environmental, and public works support for U.S. Navy shore facilities around the world, providing the Navy's forces with the operating, expeditionary, support and training bases they need.
Work will be performed in Virginia Beach, Va. and is expected to be completed by July 2012.
