The Navy this week awarded a $25 million contract for a project related to the Guam military buildup.
Honolulu-based Hensel Phelps Construction Co. will design and build a Combined Explosives Ordnance Disposal compound at Camp Blaz, which is the new Marine Corps base under construction in Dededo.
The project has an expected completion date of October 2023.
Marines from Okinawa and elsewhere are scheduled to arrive on Guam in significant numbers, beginning 2025, after Camp Blaz is completed. The base was officially activated Oct. 1, 2020, and an activation ceremony is expected in 2021.
“Our project team is motivated to support our Marines and their vital mission and we look forward to providing a world class, state of the art EOD Facility,” said Mark Nakagawa, NAVFAC Pacific DC project manager.
