FEAD Sigonella Awards $7.9M to Renovate Unaccompanied Housing at NAS Sigonella

Naval Facilities Engineering Systems Command (NAVFAC) Europe Africa Central, Facilities Engineering and Acquisition Division (FEAD) Sigonella, Italy awarded a $7,999,400 firm-fixed price contract, March 19, 2024, to Impresa Pizzarotti & C. S.p.a to renovate Bachelor Enlisted Quarters (BEQ) aboard Naval Air Station (NAS) Sigonella, Italy.

The BEQ building B623 on NAS 2 and building B170 on NAS 1 are living and leisure spaces to support the installations mission.

The request for proposal was advertised to all Sigonella Multiple Award Construction Contract (MACC) contractors, of which there were eight.

“MACCs streamline Government procurement by allowing multiple contractors to compete for task orders, thereby reducing leading lead times for construction projects. The competitive nature of the MACCs leverages contractor expertise and secures the best value for the Navy and the taxpayer,” Timothy Whitt, supervisory contract specialist, NAVFAC Europe Africa Central FEAD Sigonella, said.

In recent years, the deterioration due to normal wear and tear of these spaces has led to prolonged closures for repairs, affecting Sigonella's mission readiness. Repaing these issues now is critical to restoring functionality and safety, aligning with our mission requirements.

The work to be performed includes, but is not limited to, repairing drains, sewer repair, electrical upgrades, ventilation repair, and structural issues.

The goal of the project is to recondition and repair the buildings in order to enable them to support the base to accomplish current and future missions,” Samantha Stanton, NAVFAC EURAFCENT Public Works Department FEAD Sigonella, said. “Once finished, the facilities will serve as strategic locations, providing an inviting and serene environment for the community.”

The work is anticipated to be completed in September 2026. Fiscal year 2024 Operation and Maintenance, Navy funds were obligated on the award.

The MACC was awarded to eight firms on January 27, 2021, and the final ordering period is set to expire on January 26, 2027.
