SAN DIEGO (NNS) -- Naval Facilities Engineering Command (NAVFAC) Southwest awarded a $100 million construction contract Aug. 31 to ASTRO Mechanical Contractors Inc. of El Cajon, Calif., Countywide Mechanical Systems Inc. of Santee, Calif., Mesa Energy Systems Inc. of Irvine, Calif. doing business as EMCOR Services, and Souza Construction Inc. of Farmersville, Calif.

The contractors are all participating in a multiple award construction contract (MACC) for ventilation, heating and air conditioning systems (HVAC) and affiliated work at numerous locations within the Naval Facilities Engineering Command (NAVFAC) Southwest area of responsibility (AOR) that includes California, Arizona, Nevada, Utah, Colorado, and New Mexico.

"This MACC is significant in that it will reduce the time it takes to award a project, thus assisting NAVFAC Southwest IPTs and field offices by improving the quality of life of both civilian employee and the warfighter facilities," said Chad Slade, NAVFAC Southwest contract specialist. "Additionally, projects that will be placed on this MACC will help the Navy in its quest to become more energy efficient and reduce costs."

NAVFAC Southwest will issue task orders from the contract to conduct work. The contract is a MACC, which allows the four contractors to compete to win individual task orders under the contract.

"A multiple award construction contract is a contract awarded from two sequential solicitations, and may result in award to multiple contractors that will compete for future task orders," said Slade. "Award of task orders will be on a firm fixed price basis."

Various task order statements will be awarded to the individual contractors throughout the time of the contract. The projects may include heat generating systems, cooling generating systems, distribution systems, terminal package units, control and instrumentations, and energy supply systems. The expected completion date is August 2016.
