"This contract replaces an existing multi-function contract that will enable us to accomplish specialized maintenance and repair such as boiler inspections, elevator inspections, and tank inspections," said Lt. Cmdr. Jeffrey Benjamin, public works officer MCLB Albany. It will also provide for maintenance and repair of HVAC systems, fire protection systems, and digital control systems.

"This will enhance our capability to provide emergency, urgent and routine service call work and for small maintenance and repair work," said Benjamin. The maximum dollar value, including the base period and two option periods is $13.7 million.

Other services include, but are not limited to Facilities Investment Services such as: maintenance, repair, alteration, demolition, certification, testing, and minor construction at various locations aboard MCLB Albany, Ga.
