PEARL HARBOR (NNS) -- Naval Facilities Engineering Command Hawaii awarded a $13 million, firm fixed-price task order to Watts-Healy Tibbitts Joint Venture of Honolulu, under a multiple-award construction contract for new operations facilities at Marine Corps Base Hawaii (MCBH) June 30.
The project will include the demolition of four severely deteriorated, inadequate semi-permanent structures that were built in the 1970s.
They will be replaced with two new buildings that will consolidate MCBH's Waterfront Operations Department and expand current storage capabilities.
"The facilities in use today are temporary metal/wood framed structures which, due to age and prolonged exposure to the elements, have deteriorated to the point where structural integrity is compromised," said Lyle Fong, MCBH architect. "We are extremely excited that the new buildings will provide our military personnel with modern facilities where they will be able to effectively execute their mission."
The work to be performed provides for the design and construction of two new buildings. The first is a low-rise, reinforced concrete building that includes a disaster response emergency operations center, office spaces, quarterdeck, training room, lounge, bunk rooms and bathroom facilities. The second facility will be a one-story, pre-engineered metal building to support maintenance operations.
Four proposals were received for this task order, and the project is expected to be completed in January 2014.
