MARKET > Military NAME: Enhanced Use Lease (EUL) Fort Detrick LOCATION: Frederick, MD OWNER: U.S. Army In a joint venture known as Detrick Properties, LLC, we were awarded an Enhanced Use Lease (EUL) contract by the U.S. Army to transform 24 acres of the Bio-Defense Campus into a thriving new hotel/conference facility and administrative office complex and retail center. EUL is an opportunity created by the Department of Defense (DoD) through the National Defense Act that allow DoD installations to maximize their unused/ underdeveloped land and provide services and facilities that can be utilized by both military personnel and/or the public. Under the EUL contract, two sites will be developed, designed, constructed, and operated by the joint venture team. The proposed development includes a diverse mix of Class A office, technology and research, retail, and hotel/conference space. Additional features include a significant amount of green space in a park-like campus setting with water features, well-lit parking, and pedestrian pathways for interconnectivity between on- and off-post facilities.

JTF SCIF/CITF mouse over photos to view

MARKET > Military NAME: JTF SCIF/CITF LOCATION: Guantanamo Bay, Cuba OWNER: U.S. Navy This design-build project was procured under a Multiple Award Construction Contract (MACC). As the prime contractor, we managed the entire project from proposal to commissioning, and coordinated the architect’s design to ensure compliance with the Owner’s requirements and to maintain the budget. The Joint Task Force (JTF) Complex involved the construction of a two-story structure, on a secure site, that was divided into two distinct working areas – the Sensitive Compartmented Facility (SCIF) and the Criminal Investigation Task Force (CITF). The new facility provides office, conference, and support space, along with sophisticated telecommunications and audio-visual capabilities. Additionally, we established a berthing camp for approximately 100 personnel prior to the start of construction, which was then turned over to the Government following completion of the project for future use. A modification added the AV-34 Building project to the Task Order that involved demolition and conversion encompassing offices, conference rooms, a courtroom, deliberation rooms, and holding cells, all designed to meet SCIF standards. The project received a Certificate of Appreciation in 2004.
