Under the contract, the joint venture will provide short-term facility support services with incidental construction in response to natural disasters, humanitarian efforts, full-range military actions and incumbent breaks in services at various locations throughout the world.
Support services with incidental construction may include airfield and port operations, ship charter, supply, emergency management, fire and emergency services, force protection, safety, environmental, facility support, fleet and family readiness, command, information technology services, resource management, total force management, and training and readiness.
The contract is similar to a Global Contingency Construction (GCC) contract held by Atlantic Contingency Constructors LLC, which includes AECOM and Shaw’s Environmental & Infrastructure Group and addresses global contingency construction needs for the U.S. Navy. Several of AECOM and Shaw’s operations have provided services under GCC and the companies anticipate additional opportunities on future task orders under both contracts.
The joint venture is one of six companies selected to compete for up to US$900 million in task orders under the contract, which includes a one-year base period, plus four option years.
AECOM and Shaw will provide services to PCS as task orders are won under the Global Contingency Services Contract. Shaw will include in its Environmental & Infrastructure segment’s backlog of unfilled orders the value of awards received from PCS as the awards occur.
