Barnhart to Renovate 2 Barracks at Naval Base Coronado

The Naval Facilities Engineering Command awarded a $22.2 million firm-fixed-price task order under a multiple award construction contract to Barnhart in San Diego, CA for the renovation and repair of 2 single enlisted barracks – buildings 783 and 787 – at Naval Base Coronado in San Diego, CA. Naval Base Coronado is a consolidated US Navy installation including 8 military facilities stretching from San Clemente Island to the La Posta Mountain Warfare Training Facility, encompassing more than 57,000 acres. It is the largest command in the southwest region of the United States… The base was created in 1997 by consolidating 7 separate naval installations under 1 commanding officer: Naval Air Station North Island; Naval Amphibious Base Coronado; Naval Outlying Landing Field Imperial Beach; Naval Auxiliary Landing Field San Clemente Island; Silver Strand Training Complex, formerly known as the Naval Radio Receiving Facility; Mountain Warfare Training Facility La Posta; and the Survival, Evasion, Resistance and Escape Facility, Warner Springs. Camp Morena was added in 2008. Employing over 36,000 military and civilian personnel, the base accounts for over 30% of the region’s total workforce and has the largest workforce in San Diego County. Barhart expects complete construction by September 2011. Funds for this project are provided by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009. For this task order, 2 proposals were received by the Naval Facilities Engineering Command Southwest in San Diego, CA (N2473-06-D-1059). Source: Defense Industry Daily
