Grunley’s Latest Project Wins

Grunley is pleased to share the following new project wins. Congratulations to everyone involved in the project pursuits!

FEMS AND OSSE FLEET FACILITY | WASHINGTON, D.C.
Grunley has been awarded a $114.8 million contract with the District of Columbia Department of General Services to construct a new Fire and Emergency Medical Services (FEMS) and Office of the State Superintendent of Education (OSSE) Facility in Washington, DC. The planned facilities will support both FEMS and OSSE. The FEMS complex will include a Fleet Maintenance Facility with vehicle repair and wash areas, machine and welding shops, locker rooms, fitness and office space, and storage areas. A Logistics Warehouse will provide loading docks, storage, and administrative space, while a separate facility will offer heated storage and covered parking for the FEMS fleet. A shared fueling station will serve both FEMS and OSSE. OSSE’s campus will feature an Administrative Building, with office and administrative space for the State Superintendent of Education, and a multi-story Parking Structure. All buildings are being designed as Net Zero Energy facilities, with the project targeting LEED Silver certification from the U.S. Green Building Council.

DESIGN-BUILD FIT-OUT OF THE STEAM STERILIZATION PLANT | FORT DETRICK, MD
Grunley has been awarded a $38.2 million design-build task order under our U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Baltimore $499M MATOC to provide a new, self-sustained Effluent Decontamination System (EDS) within Building 8100 at Fort Detrick, replacing the non-operational EDS in Building 8150. The new Steam Sterilization Plant/EDS will introduce a continuous flow system with all associated utilities, piping, and equipment. Once construction, commissioning, and CDC certification are complete, the system will process and deactivate all liquid waste generated by BSL-3E and BSL-4 Select Agent work in Building 8100. The treated effluent will then be discharged into the Fort Detrick sanitary waste system. Our design partner is Leo A. Daly.

RECLAIMED WATER EXPANSION, PHASE 2 | FORT MEADE, MD
Grunley has been awarded an $18.7 million task order under our U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Baltimore $499M MATOC to expand the reclaimed water distribution system at Fort Meade, Maryland. The project will extend service to eight additional buildings, and new mains will be installed using a combination of open cut trenching and horizontal directional drilling to minimize disruption across the campus. Within each building’s mechanical room, the reclaimed water system will be integrated into the cooling tower makeup water system. To ensure safety, the design incorporates air gaps and valving to prevent cross-contamination between potable and reclaimed water. The existing potable water service will be retained and modified to serve as a secondary source. Select buildings will also receive upgrades to chemical treatment systems, sand filters, and booster pumps to meet reclaimed water standards. The entire system will be connected to the campus Energy Management Control System, allowing automated switching between potable and reclaimed water sources for cooling tower use.
