Executive Summary


After successfully completing CETAC I, Fluor was awarded CETAC II by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) to provide planning, design-build, general construction, renovation and repairs, life support services and operations and maintenance to the military in a 25-country area of responsibility (AoR).

Most of the work on CETAC II has been performed in Iraq.

Client's Challenge


The USACE requires contractors to support military service members in a 25-country AoR. The projects are often performed in hostile environments, in remote locations and under extreme weather conditions.

The USACE needed a company that could quickly mobilize teams to accomplish mission critical activities.

Fluor's Solution


Fluor was awarded CETAC II based on our successful performance of CETAC I. Under the contract, we were awarded 22 task order projects, including electricity and water rehabilitation, transmission line reconstruction, industrial generator repairs, base construction, life support services and operations and maintenance. Many of the task orders were extensions of earlier CETAC I work. The 22 task orders were performed in Afghanistan, Iraq, Kyrgyzstan and Kuwait.

One of the largest of our task orders provided life support services throughout 19 locations in Iraq. Twelve of these locations had vehicle service centers that provided maintenance for the client's vehicle fleet. The service centers were operated on a 24-hour basis and provided maintenance and repair services to non-tactical vehicles as well as light and heavy armored vehicles. With our expertise in performing maintenance and parts procurement, we maintained a 95 - 97% mission-ready state for our client's vehicle fleet.

We have also contributed to the economy of the countries in which we have performed task orders, by hiring and training local workers and subcontractors. Our personnel have also volunteered hundreds of hours to support local charities within the provinces in which they worked.

On one task order in Iraq, we achieved 6 million safe work hours, which was a significant achievement in a country with almost no safety culture and in a hostile environment. This was a true demonstration of our commitment to a safe work environment, no matter the situation.

Conclusion


Under the CETAC II contract, Fluor has performed work simultaneously at a number of locations in Afghanistan, Iraq, Kuwait and Kyrgyzstan.

Many of the task orders performed were extensions of work from CETAC I.

Services included construction, renovations, repairs, life support and planning.

We also managed to achieve an excellent safety record in a country where no safety culture existed.
