Lower Monumental Dam

Project Time & Cost, Inc. in Atlanta, GA won a 5-year, firm-fixed-price contract worth up to $150 million. They’ll provide “architect-engineering services for nationwide cost engineering” in support of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers’ Walla Walla District in Washington State. The district’s site offers a summary of the key projects it’s involved in, and the firm has been working with the US ACE for over 25 years now. Work location will be determined with each task order, with an estimated completion date of Nov 6/16. The bid was solicited through the Internet, with 4 bids received by the US Army Corps of Engineers in Walla Walla, WA (W912EF-12-D-0003).

According to AACE International, cost engineering is “…the area of engineering practice where engineering judgment and experience are used in the application of scientific principles and techniques to problems of cost estimating, cost control, business planning and management science, profitability analysis, project management, and planning and scheduling.” That scope includes Cost Estimating, Earned Value Management, Risk Management, and Schedule Management.

Airpower is critical, but Malaysia’s slow efforts to pick a MiG-29 replacement, and the Hornet fleet’s age, have led the Tentera Udara DiRaja Malaysia (TUDM) to look to F/A-18D upgrades as an immediate step.

Advanced ATFLIR surveillance and targeting pods have been part of that process. So, too, is the latest move to arm TUDM Hornets with the newest AIM-9X Sidewinder Block II short range air-to-air missiles. The AIM-9X-2’s 2-way datalink, thrust vectoring maneuverability, and advanced imaging infrared seeker even allow it to hit targets behind the launching fighter. The numbers so far indicate an initial testing and training buy, but it’s a start…
