Shaw to Support U.S. Navy Fuel System Operations Worldwide

The Shaw Group Inc. announced its Environmental & Infrastructure Group has been awarded an Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract by the Department of Defense (DoD) to support its U.S. Navy fuel system operations. The scope of Shaw’s contract includes engineering, inspection and construction services at U.S. Naval Facilities Engineering Service Center Petroleum, Oils and Lubricants (POL) sites at DoD facilities around the world.

Shaw will support the sustainment, restoration and modernization requirements on projects, including designing, building, engineering, inspecting, testing and constructing POL fuel systems and various components. Shaw is one of five firms selected to compete on task orders with a maximum contract value of $350 million, if all options are exercised, through 2014. The value of this award, which will be included in the company’s fourth quarter fiscal year 2009 backlog of unfilled orders, was not disclosed.

“The Department of Defense relies on POL sites globally to strengthen combat readiness through facilities lifecycle support,” said George Bevan, president of Shaw’s Environmental & Infrastructure Group. “Shaw’s delivery of sound engineering and management solutions enhances DoD readiness and cost efficiencies with respect to energy supply, distribution, and consumption.”
