Ch2M Hill Clark Nexsen Energy Partners JV, a joint venture specializing in energy efficiency and infrastructure resilience services for the Department of Defense, was awarded a $241,675 firm fixed-price delivery order on September 18, 2025, to conduct a feasibility analysis for drilling two 400-foot ground source heat pump wells at Department of Defense installations in Washington state, specifically at Building 7700 in Bangor and Building 2029 in Everett. This delivery order, funded by Naval Facilities Engineering Command, represents work under the venture's larger indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity contract with Naval Facilities Engineering Command on behalf of U.S. Pacific Fleet Forces, initially valued at $50 million and increased to $65 million with performance extending through March 13, 2029. The ultimate completion date for this task order is April 30, 2026, reflecting a modification that extended the original delivery date from January 2, 2026. No small business set-aside was used for this award.
Ground source heat pump technology represents an advanced energy efficiency solution that leverages subsurface temperatures to reduce heating and cooling energy consumption at military facilities. This feasibility analysis aligns with Navy and Department of Defense sustainability objectives to improve infrastructure resilience and reduce operational energy costs at installations. Ch2M Hill Clark Nexsen Energy Partners JV brings complementary capabilities in architecture, engineering, and technical assessment services to evaluate the viability of implementing this renewable energy technology at the Bangor and Everett installations, supporting the federal government's commitment to achieving environmental stewardship goals across military facilities.
