| The U.S. Navy Military Sealift Command awarded Burns and Roe Services Corporation a Port Operation Services Contract to operate watercraft and boats, and provide related maintenance services, port operations, and waterfront administration in support of Naval Station, Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. This contract has a base period of six months and four one-year option periods. The total estimated contract price is approximately $21 million for all years.
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 numerous facilities throughout the base.
“Burns and Roe brings the Navy a verifiable record of proven performance,” stated Dave Pruett, Senior Vice President for Burns and Roe Services Corporation. “During the last decade, we have established a reputation of providing highly responsive port operation services in Guantanamo Bay.”
