The Norfolk District awarded W.M. Jordan Co., Inc. of Newport News, Va., a $35.1 million contract Sept. 2, to construct a 600-person Air Force/Navy dormitory at Fort Lee, Va.
"The dorm is one of five Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC) projects for the $91.5M Air Force/Navy relocation program to Fort Lee," said Norfolk District Project Manager Suzanne Spence.
The design-build construction project includes a furniture option with an estimated completion date of June 30, 2010.
Omaha District awarded a $5.6 million contract to HUBZone certified small business Sheets T.A. Mechanical Contractor Inc. of Norfolk, Va., on Aug. 28, to build a 17,900 square-foot chapel at Fort Lee, Va. Omaha District, an Army "Center of Standardization" expert for chapels, designed the facility, while the Norfolk District is managing construction completion.
The facility is not part of the 2005 BRAC authorization. Instead, it falls under General Military Construction and meets a need for increased worship space at Fort Lee.
