| The U.S. Navy has awarded BRDC, a Joint Venture of Burns and Roe Services Corporation and Dick Corporation, Multiple Award Design-Build and Construction Contract for the U.S. Naval Base, Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. This is a multiple award contract for general build type projects (new construction, renovation, alteration, and repair of facilities and infrastructure, roofing, demolition, and routine renovation). The contract is for a base year and four option years for a maximum of sixty months or a maximum value of $100 million for all contracts, whichever comes first. The expected contract completion date is July 2013.
This contract award represents the most recent event in Burns and Roe’s long history of service at the Naval Station, Guantanamo Bay. Burns and Roe involvement at the Naval Base began in 1964, when the Cuban Government cut the water supply to the 10,000 Navy and civilian personnel stationed at the base. Burns and Roe responded to that emergency by building a plant that successfully produced fresh water at the rate of one million gallons per day within a five-month period. We continue to serve the Navy through the operations and maintenance of most of the facilities throughout the base.
“The BRDC team will continue to support the Navy through our enhanced capabilities,” stated Dave Pruett, Senior Vice President of Burns and Roe Services Corporation. “Our long-term record of success and continued business at Guantanamo Bay is a result of our dedicated efforts to provide superior responsive service.”
