Consigli Gets $19.3M to Build US Naval Station Newport Fitness Center

Consigli Construction Co. in Milford, MA won a $19.3 million firm-fixed-price task order #0002 under a previously awarded multiple award construction contract (N40085-08-D-2112) to build a fitness center at US Naval Station Newport. Consigli will build a new facility to replace the existing gymnasium located in Building #109 and the existing fitness-plus facility located in Building #355. Buildings #109 and #355 will be demolished as part of this contract. In addition, Consigli will build a lighted softball field and a 3-court tennis facility, and install field lighting to the existing track/soccer/football field. Construction of the softball field will require demolition of Building #144. Site work and other incidental related work is also included in this contract. Anti-terrorism Force Protection and sustainable design principles will be integrated into the design and construction. Consigli expects to complete construction by August 2011. The contract also contains 1 unexercised option, which if exercised would increase the cumulative contract value to $20.5 milloin. 5 proposals were received for this task order by the Naval Facilities Engineering Command Mid-Atlantic in Norfolk, VA.
