18 February 2004 - Fluor Corporation announced Tuesday that it has been awarded three separate task orders worth $154m by the US Army Corps of Engineers for electrical power restoration work in Iraq. The task orders are the first to be placed with Fluor under a contract awarded last month for potential work within the U.S. Central Command area of operations, including Iraq.
The task orders call for Fluor to rehabilitate multiple power generation facilities in Baghdad, reconstruct a power transmission line in northern Iraq and restore a water intake facility at a thermal power station in southern Iraq.
As future needs are identified by the Corps of Engineers, Fluor may provide a full range of engineering and construction services, including new work, restoration, renovation or repair; combined design-build activities; temporary base operations, and short-term operations and maintenance services, in support of US military operations, other US government agencies or friendly foreign governments. The contract under which the task orders were issued has a potential value of $500m in its first year, with the potential for four one-year options that have a maximum value of $250m each.
Under a previous Corps of Engineers contract, issued in April 2003, Fluor is continuing to help repair central Iraq's electrical infrastructure.
Since April 2003, Fluor has been awarded more than $600m in Iraqi reconstruction work under various Department of Defense contracts. The projects have included operations and maintenance services, building renovation, force protection and electrical infrastructure repair.
