CDM Constructors Inc. in Carlsbad, CA received $21.2 million Delivery Order 0007 under a combination firm-fixed-price, indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity design-build-operate-maintain contract for Water Conveyance/Reclamation at Marine Corps Base, Camp Pendleton.

They will install a conveyance/reclamation pipeline to connect four Sewage Treatment Plants to the new Southern Region Tertiary Treatment Plant, ensuring environmental compliance in preparation for ultimate privatization. [Ed: Perhaps they should have asked the contractor to involve active-duty Marines; it might be good preparation for Iraq.]

Work will be performed in Oceanside, CA and is expected to be completed by March 2008. It includes all site demolition and site work. Supporting facilities include power, controls, and incidental related work. The Naval Facilities Engineering Command, Southwest in San Diego, CA issued the contract (N68711-04-D-5110).

The basic contract was competitively procured via the NAVFAC e-solicitation website with eight proposals received and award made on July 8, 2004. The total contract amount for the indefinite-quantity portion of this contract is not to exceed $155.8 million (base period and four option years) bringing the cumulative total for the total contract to $260 million. The single contractor may propose on task orders under the terms and conditions of the existing contract.

This work follows recent water compliance testing at Pendleton for lead levels.
