This program is required by the Army’s initiatives under the Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC), the Integrated Global Presence and Basing Strategy (IGPBS), and the Army Modular Force (AMF) program. The Army must posture facilities to effectively orient combat capabilities where they can most effectively organize, train, and deploy to support ongoing operations worldwide. The execution of the work is under Military Construction Program. The “product line concept” will be used for the construction of barracks, dining facilities, company operation facilities, headquarters buildings, vehicle maintenance shops, unit and ammunition storage facilities, aviation facilities, equipment parking areas, and other features of the program. Under the product line concept, Districts in the Corps of Engineers’ Southwestern and South Pacific Divisions will be assigned one or two facility types and will be responsible for awarding Design-Build IDIQ contracts for their assigned type of facility (product line). When there is a requirement for their facility type, each District product line team will scope, negotiate, and award a task order to deliver the required facilities to the Program Office assigned to manage the overall project. ECM was selected by Jacobs/Huitt-Zollars joint venture to supplement the program management effort for the military’s largest ever project. ECM is supplying both professional engineering and certified construction inspectors.

The Jacobs/Huitt-Zollars joint venture is the nation’s largest venture with combined forces of over 100,000 professionals. This joint venture lacked the local expertise to assure the successful completion of the five year effort. ECM’s 26 year experience is proving invaluable in both constructability and keeping the local community involved in this momentous task.
