“The first is a $100 million to $200 million contract to build the missile-defense facilities. We already have proposals and expect to award a contract this February,” said Curt Heckelman, chief of USACE Europe District’s Missile Defense Branch.
“The second is a $25 million to $100 million contract to build the offices, housing and other facilities where U.S. Navy personnel will work and live. We are currently accepting proposals, and this contract is open to all major construction companies.”
Both contracts are part of the Phase III of the European Phased Adaptive Approach to ballistic missile defense at Redzikowo Air Base, Poland.
The facility is expected to be fully operational in 2018.
