Granite bags $126M deal to construct naval buildings in Guam

ConDig (06-Apr–23)  Civil contractor and construction materials producer Granite Construction has secured a $126 million contract for the construction of buildings and infrastructure that will support the relocation of U.S. Marines to Marine Corps Base (MCB) Camp Blaz, Guam.

Under the deal with the Naval Facilities Engineering Systems Command (NAVFAC) Pacific, Granite will construct three buildings, totaling more than 110,000 square feet, and site infrastructure related to the relocation of U.S. Marines to Guam from Okinawa, Japan. 

The project also includes a warehouse for battalion equipment storage, a climate-controlled space for electronic equipment maintenance and support of battalion vehicles. It also involves an automotive organizational shop for the upkeep and support of battalion vehicles, a reinforced concrete four-bay vehicle wash rack, and a reinforced concrete vehicle holding shed for vehicles awaiting repairs and service.

The project will start this month and is slated for completion in December 2025.

“This strategic win is a result of Granite’s Federal Division’s more than a decade-long work in Guam, supporting initiatives to strengthen our home market and promoting our client-centric culture,” said Granite vp of regional operations, Curt Haldeman. 

“This project diversifies our Federal portfolio, and we are extremely excited to continue our partnership with NAVFAC and strengthen our commitment to the Department of Defense’s Guam buildup initiative.”

In December, Granite Construction landed a $14 million traffic flow improvement project in Santa Barbara, California.
