FORT SHAFTER, Hawaii — An Orlando-based firm has been awarded a $97.3 million contract to construct company operations facilities at the Army’s Schofield Barracks in Hawaii.
Conti Federal Services was awarded the contract by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Pacific Division, the firm said in a news release Friday.
The award is for five new structures that will support operations for four companies and a troop aid station in the 225th Brigade Support Battalion, 25th Infantry Division.
Company operations facilities are specialized buildings for Army companies designed to support unit readiness by centralizing functions such as equipment storage and deployment preparation in a single structure.
The project will contribute to the consolidation of the 2nd Infantry Brigade Combat Team at the installation’s South Range, the news release stated.
“The new Company Operations Facilities will provide a centralized space to support command and control functions, unit supply and equipment operations, maintenance and inspection activities, deployment readiness, and secure storage for high-value equipment,” the news release stated.
Conti Federal has a broad portfolio of building projects completed or underway for the Defense Department.
It was one of 12 firms awarded a $990 million contract in April by Naval Facilities Engineering Systems for construction projects throughout the Indo-Pacific, including the Northern Marianas Islands, Philippines, Australia, Papua New Guinea, Timor Leste, Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia, Vietnam, Nepal, Sri Lanka, Fiji and Maldives.
The company has worked on renovations at Camp Hansen on Okinawa and fuel system repairs at Andersen Air Force Base in Guam, according to its web site.
“This project represents another step forward in Conti Federal’s long-term strategy to strengthen our presence across the Indo-Pacific,” Jason Roberts, the firm’s business development director for the Indo-Pacific region, said in the news release.
