Djibouti, Africa: Base Operations Contracting
30-Aug-2009 14:50 EDT
Djibouti is an important base for western navies, the French Foreign
Legion, and the US Marines. It sits in a very strategic location, at the
entrance to the Red Sea and astride the passage from the Indian Ocean to
the Suez Canal. Maintaining and operating that base takes work, of
course. The US Navy's Seabees have done excellent work there, and the
base is being used as a testing ground for containerized renewable power
options.
In the modern era, however, military construction teams are not the only
ones involved in keeping the base running. Contractors are also
involved. The base operations services contract was competitively
procured via the NAVFAC e-solicitation website, with 6 proposals
received by the Naval Facilities Engineering Command, Europe and
Southwest Asia in Naples, Italy (N33191-07-D-0207). The winner was.
Aug 28/09: PAE Government Services in Los Angeles, CA received $47.5
million to exercise the 2nd option under cost reimbursement,
indefinite-delivery/ indefinite-quantity contract (N33191-07-D-0207) for
base operating support services at Camp Lemonier, Djibouti, Horn of
Africa, and forward operating locations, i.e., Manda Bay.
After exercise of this option, the current total contract amount will be
$211.4 million. Work will be performed in Djibouti and Kenya, Africa,
and is expected to be completed by September 2010. Contract funds will
expire at the end of the current fiscal year.
Sept 9/08: PAE Government Services, Inc. in Los Angeles, CA received a
not to exceed $10 million modification under a previously awarded
indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity contract (N33191-07-D-1503) to
exercise option 1 for a job order contract at Camp Lemonier, Djibouti.
The work to be performed provides for all managerial, supervision,
labor, engineering services, tools, materials, equipment and
transportation necessary to accomplish a broad range of design/build,
repair, renovation and minor construction work on real property. After
exercise of this option, the total cumulative contract value will not
exceed $20 million. Work will be performed in Djibouti, Africa, and
expected to be complete by September 2009.
May 16/08: PAE Government Services, Inc. in Los Angeles, CA received
$56.2 million to exercise the 1st option period under firm-fixed-price,
indefinite-quantity contract (N33191-07-D-0207) for base operating
services at Camp Lemonier, Djibouti, Horn of Africa.
After exercise of this option, the current total contract amount will be
$119.7 million, and the contract contains 3 additional one-year option
periods, which could now bring the total contract value to $177.6
million if exercised. Work will be performed in Djibouti, Africa, and is
expected to be complete in August 2009. Contract funds will expire at
the end of the current fiscal year.
May 15/07: PAE Government Services, Inc. in Los Angeles, CA received a
$26.4 million cost-plus-award-fee contract (N33191-07-D-0207) for base
operations services at Camp Lemonier, Djibouti, Horn of Africa; the
agreement covers base tenants, and outlying facilities. Contract funds
will expire at the end of the current fiscal year.
This contract contains 4 option years, which if exercised, would bring
the total to a not to exceed amount of $140.7 million. Work will be
performed in Djibouti, with an expected completion date of August 2008
(August 2012 with options).
