R&O, Atherton Construction and the NCMBC supported an “R&O and Atherton Construction Subcontracting Fair” on March 25th, at Wayne Community College. Other sponsors of the event included the Procurement Technical Assistance Center. The 4th Contracting Squadron, Seymour Johnson AFB, also was available for Small Business counseling.
The Subcontracting Fair provided the attending 250+ North Carolina businesses in the construction trades exposure to informational briefings and the opportunity to meet R&O and Atherton Construction about subcontracting opportunities on the Phase 8/9 Replace Family Housing and Wayne Manor Whole House Remodel at Seymour Johnson Air Force Base.
R&O Construction was recently awarded a $72 million project for Replace Family Housing, Phases 8/9 at Seymour-Johnson AFB and is working in partnership with Atherton Construction as the Prime Subcontractor. This project includes demolition of 220 existing housing units and construction of 217 new housing units. Additionally, R&O Construction was awarded a $15 million project for Wayne Manor Whole House Remodel at Seymour-Johnson AFB that consists of design/build renovation of 150 housing units (75 duplexes).
Please note that R&O and Atherton Construction are seeking subcontractors with experience working on military installations, bonding capability in some trades, ability to maintain current insurance (general, auto, and worker’s compensation), ability to meet installation access requirements for Seymour-Johnson AFB, capable of maintaining staffing required to meet scheduled deadlines, and financial capability to perform the work required.
