Granite Secures $113 Million Contract to Enhance Marine Corps Facilities

WATSONVILLE, Calif.-- Granite (NYSE: GVA), in collaboration with Obayashi Corporation through the Granite-Obayashi 2 Joint Venture, has been awarded a $113 million contract for the construction of new facilities at Marine Corps Base Camp Blaz (MCCB). Funded by the Department of Defense’s Military Construction (MILCON) program, this project will be part of Granite’s third-quarter CAP.

The contract includes building essential low-rise structures to support the Marine Expeditionary Force (MEF) 9th Engineer Support Battalion. Key elements of the project include an auto organization shop, an electrical/communications maintenance shop, organic storage, a vehicle wash rack, and a vehicle laydown area, all built with reinforced concrete structures and shallow foundation systems.

This is the second major facility project Granite has undertaken at MCCB, furthering the company’s role in developing the base’s main cantonments. Granite's ongoing commitment aligns with the U.S. Marine Corps' strategic objectives in the Pacific, supporting the relocation of Marines from Okinawa to Guam.

“We’re proud to strengthen our partnership with NAVFAC Pacific on this significant initiative,” stated Curt Haldeman, Granite Vice President of Regional Operations. “This contract not only solidifies our collaboration with NAVFAC Pacific but also enhances our contribution to the Marines' successful realignment.”

The project is set to commence in October 2024, with an expected completion date of January 2027.
