Clark Construction, one of the region's biggest builders, has landed two major federal contracts totaling more than $660 million.
Clark Design & Build, a division of the privately held Bethesda company, has won a $435.4 million contract from the General Services Administration and Department of Homeland Security to build a new 1.2 million-square-foot headquarters for the Coast Guard, according to GSA spokesman Michael McGill.
The new building will be the first phase of a new, $3.4 billion, 4.5 million-square-foot Homeland Security campus on the site of the former St. Elizabeths Hospital in Southeast Washington, D.C. With a parking garage, the project will total 6 million square feet, McGill said, and when completed, the campus is to house about 14,000 employees.
Groundbreaking on the Coast Guard building is slated for next month, with occupancy expected by 2013. Of the total funding, $162.2 million is in federal stimulus money.
