WSP-HKS JV SIGNS DEAL FOR U.S. NAVY CONSTRUCTION WORK

摘要

LAST SPRING, the U.S. Navy Facilities Engineering Command (NAVFAC) awarded a five-year, $50 million architect-engineering services contract to a joint venture between WSP USA and HKS for the Command's medical facilities projects around the world. This so-called indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity (IDIQ) contract covers hospitals, dental clinics, medical clinics, veterinary clinics, laboratories. sustainment/restoration/mod-ernization projects, military construction projects, and medical studies. The contract is not exclusive to the two firms, but it lets NAVFAC assign certain projects to them. NAVFAC selected seven projects under this contract for 2018, including a 477,000-sf, $298 million health, education, and research facility for the Uniformed Services University at Walter Reed National Military Medi- cal Center in Bethesda, Md.; and a 44,000-sf medical and dental clinic in Jacksonville, N.C. There's also a renovation component, plus four research studies that will help define future projects.
