OTTAWA — AECOM has announced it has been awarded the top position on Defence Construction Canada’s (DCC) National Architecture and Engineering (A&E) Source List.
The multi-year program has a potential value of up to $270 million, explains a release, and will support the Department of National Defence (DND) in delivering infrastructure across Canada.
The contract comprises a three-year agreement with two additional one-year period options. AECOM will provide multidisciplinary architecture and engineering services spanning the full spectrum of planning, design and construction-phase support.
“As the largest source list ever issued by DCC in total maximum estimated value, this program represents a major investment in Canada’s defense infrastructure,” the release reads. “The source list selection process is specifically designed to provide DCC with the best value partners, and AECOM’s top position reflects the company’s superior value across technical merit, cost, and specialized defense experience.”
Work under the program will encompass the delivery of hangars and aircraft maintenance buildings, vehicle maintenance bays, high‑security office complexes, accommodations, mess facilities, recreational amenities and training facilities.
The release adds AECOM will also provide strategic planning services with long-term recapitalization plans and asset portfolio management.
“Across Canada, our local teams take deep pride in supporting the people and infrastructure that safeguard the nation,” said Richard Barrett, chief executive of AECOM’s Canada region, in a statement. “As we help DND prepare for future challenges, we will leverage our full architecture and engineering expertise, along with advanced energy modelling, asset management and innovative design solutions, to help deliver facilities that perform, endure, and meet the highest standards of safety and technical excellence.”
