Fargo Pacific Inc. has been awarded a $21.45 million firm-fixed-price contract to renovate the passenger terminal at Andersen Air Force Base and provide a new temporary facility for a passenger terminal.
The contract provides for the demolition and renovation of the interior of the passenger terminal, which occupies approximately 21,400 square feet of the existing Building 17002, according to an Aug. 6 release from the U.S. Department of Defense. Work is expected to be completed by July 26, 2026, according to the release.
Two offers were received for the contract, which was awarded by the 36th Contracting Squadron at Andersen.
The Air Force base in the North of Guam suffered significant damage after Typhoon Mawar devastated the island in May 2023.
The Air Force Civil Engineer Center sent its Civil Engineer Maintenance Inspection and Repair team and its Natural Disaster Recovery Division’s Disaster Response Recovery Team to determine the scope of the damage and help define the requirements for reconstruction, the center said in September 2023. It also assisted Andersen’s 36th Wing civil engineers with repairing critical electrical power generation and heating ventilation and air conditioning across the installation.
Guam’s local contracting community was also involved in urgent repairs at Andersen post-typhoon, using the Air Force Contract Augmentation Program, as multiple facilities suffered damage.
The directorate’s senior cost engineers and contracting experts helped execute funding under the Air Force Contract Augmentation Program “to meet urgent mission requirements.” That program “is a contingency contract tool managed by [the Air Force Installation and Mission Support Center,]” that allows the Air Force to leverage capabilities from the private sector to augment civil engineer and services capabilities,” the center said in September.
The passenger terminal at Andersen among other uses sees “Patriot Express” government-chartered flights for active duty and other personnel, according to Journal files.
Headquartered in Guam, Fargo Pacific does business in Guam and the Northern Mariana Islands and was founded in September 1975. Led by generations of the Park family, it is HUB-zone and U.S. Small Business Administration-certified, and now has a history of federal and private sector work. Fargo Pacific currently has 110 employees, according to the company.
Fiscal 2024 transportation working capital funds are being used to fund the passenger terminal renovation and temporary facility, the release said.
In other contracting news DZSP 21 was awarded a “$106.3 million “cost-plus-award-fee modification to its previously awarded contract,” according to a July 25 release from U.S. DoD. The award is for Option Period Four for base operating support services in Guam and runs until July 2025. The award brings the cumulative face value of the contract to $739,540,953 and was made by Naval Facilities Engineering Systems Command Marianas. mbj
