The U.S. Air Force Global Strike Command awarded JTL Group, Inc., doing business as Knife River-Billings, a multiple award indefinite delivery contract valued up to $18 million to maintain and improve pavements at Francis E. Warren Air Force Base in Wyoming. As the prime contractor, Knife River-Billings, a subsidiary of MDU Resources Group, Inc., will provide all labor, materials, equipment, maintenance, repair, and operations necessary to maintain or upgrade the base's infrastructure, including runways, taxiways, parking lots, and roads.
