10The Military Engineer ? July-August ? 2010 tions put people back to work across the country and leverage our buying power to invest in green jobs, energy-ef?cient technologies, and both traditional con- struction and emerging green markets, said Martha Johnson, Administrator of GSA. By creating a greener, higher- performing federal buildings portfolio, GSAs Recovery Act investments will save taxpayer dollars in energy ef?ciencies and build a more sustainable economy. Work is ongoing at hundreds of GSA Recovery Act projects across the country, including the construction of a new ener- gy-ef?cient courthouse in Austin, Texas, the installation of a solar roof on the Veterans Affairs building in downtown Philadelphia, Pa., and the conversion of a former World War II munitions plant in St. Louis, Mo. GSA was appropriated more than $5.5 billion under the Recovery Act to convert federal facilities into high-performance green buildings and construct energy- ef?cient federal buildings, courthouses and land ports of entry. In addition to creating jobs, these projects will deliver lasting progress towards building a more sustainable national infrastructure while reducing the federal governments con- sumption of energy and water, and in- creasing the use of clean and renewable sources of energy.

Fuligni added. The MACC is awarded for a base period of 12 months and includes four one-year option periods. Options are for time only and do not adjust the maximum contract amount.
