PEARL HARBOR (NNS) -- Facilities Engineering Command (NAVFAC) Pacific awarded a $158 million firm-fixed price contract Sept. 16 to Watts Webcor Obayashi A JV, a large business company from Honolulu, Hawaii, for the construction of a new replacement naval hospital in Guam.

The construction of the hospital is not funded with Defense Policy Review Initiative/Guam Realignment funds. Contract funds are Military Construction, Defense Medical.

"This is a very significant and historic event," said Capt. Kevin Haws, U.S. Naval Hospital Guam, commanding officer. "The new hospital will provide a facility that meets the medical needs of our patient population today, and in the future. It will provide easy access and the latest in inpatient and outpatient technology, and will promote and sustain a healthy force, ready to deploy when called upon."

The work to be performed includes the demolition of the existing naval hospital and various designated structures, and the reconstruction of the new replacement naval hospital. The work also includes the expansion of the central utility plant building, new boilers, emergency generator, required ancillary equipment and utility service lines from the plant to the new hospital building.

The work will be phased so the existing hospital remains operational during construction, and the new hospital will be operational before demolition.

Construction is expected to be completed by Oct. 2014. The exact amount of the contract is $158,132,500, and it was competitively procured via the Navy Electronic Commerce Online website with five proposals received.
