M^cClain Contracting Company, Inc.

McClain Contracting performed 5 SABER contracts at Keesler AFB, MS as the SABER Contractor for Keesler AFB, MS from 2006 (directly following Hurricane Katrina) through 2009. McClain Contracting performed all types of renovation, new construction, and design-build work under these SABER (IDIQ) contracts. As with any IDIQ contract, a wide degree of creativity and latitude are required in order to work multiple projects at one time. However, all task orders were finished on time, safely and within budget.

During the period of these contracts, Keesler AFB was going through an A76 study and was extremely short of Civil Engineering personnel. McClain Contracting was called upon to take on work which would normally have been performed by military personnel. This work was required to be accomplished quickly to meet mission goals. McClain Contracting Company, Inc. played a vital role in the recovery of Keesler after Hurricane Katrina. Our ability to respond quickly and provide a multitude of trades prevented further damage to existing facilities. We met all critical timelines which ensured all base personnel were able to relocate back to their offices in a timely manner.

SABER A: FA3010-06-D-0007                         Period of Performance: 08/2006 - 06/2007
