Denver, CO - Mortenson's Colorado Springs office recently announced they have been awarded the design-build contract for a $20 million Tactical Equipment Maintenance Facility and an Engineering Squadron TEMF at Fort Carson Army Base on behalf of the Army Corps of Engineers.

“We’re proud of our relationship with the Army Corps of Engineers and the work we’ve completed on their behalf at Fort Carson Army Base,” said Bob Hansen, vice president of Mortenson.  “Our ongoing work signifies how successful our existing work has proven to be in meeting the demands of Fort Carson.  All of our projects have been awarded in a competitive, best value procurement process. We’re looking forward to beginning work on these newest facilities.”

Work on the newest TEMFs will begin in October 2008, with completion scheduled for August 2009.  The 35,000 SF buildings will be designed and built to LEED® Silver criteria, and located adjacent to the other six TEMF buildings on the base.

Each of the buildings are composed of two areas:

• Repair bays which provide maintenance areas for various types of armored vehicles and equipment
