LOS ANGELES (Business Wire) -- AECOM Technology Corporation (NYSE: ACM), a leading provider of
professional technical and management support services for government
and commercial clients around the world, announced today that it has
been awarded a task order contract from the U.S. Air Force Civil
Engineer Support Agency (AFCESA) worth US$16.9 million.
Under the task order, AECOM will provide design-build services to
complete the design and facility repairs at Little Rock Air Force Base.
Due to tornado damage that occurred during April 2011, repairs will be
made to seven buildings, including structural metal roofing replacement,
exterior finishes and siding repair, interior renovations, and
mechanical and electrical repairs.
The buildings include a 150,000-square-foot aircraft hangar, logistics
center, fire crash station, squadron operations facility and several
aircraft maintenance facilities. The period of performance is 18 months.
The client considers the project to be a critical step in the base's
full recovery from the damage sustained during the storm.
The task order was awarded under AECOM's indefinite delivery/indefinite
quantity (IDIQ) contract with AFCESA to provide worldwide design-build
and construction services. The contract, which was awarded during 2008
to multiple companies, has a ceiling of US$4 billion with a basic
