COLORADO SPRINGS, COLO., 12 July 2007 - CH2M HILL Academy Services LLC, a CH2M HILL-led joint venture with KIRA, has been selected to provide civil engineer and cadet support services to the U.S. Air Force Academy (USAFA) in Colorado Springs, Colo.
The contract has a potential value of more than $150 million over a seven-year period, which includes a one-year base and six one-year options. Services include civil engineering, cadet support, facility and infrastructure maintenance and operations, environmental support, and property management.
USAFA is the premier U.S. Air Force installation and one of the nation's military service academies responsible for the undergraduate education and training of the U.S. Air Force's future leaders. It is also one of the largest tourist attractions in Colorado, serving more than a million visitors each year. As a Denver-based company, CH2M HILL has supported USAFA for more than 30 years through various design-build construction, engineering, environmental, and geographic information system/GeoBase projects under our contracts with the Air Force Civil Engineering Support Agency and the Air Force Center for Engineering and the Environment.
"This is a very exciting win and a great opportunity," said Gary Craft, CH2M HILL's senior vice president of Government Facilities & Infrastructure. "We look forward to expanding our support for the Academy and its critical mission, and participating as a member of the USAFA and Colorado Springs communities. By leveraging the combined capabilities of CH2M HILL and KIRA, we intend to exceed USAFA's expectations and add value to safely ensure their mission success by delivering flexible and sustainable facilities, infrastructure, and contingency solutions. In short, we want to work with our new partners to make sure they are the model Air Force installation."
