POWER Engineers Inc. (Haily, Idaho), under a contract with the Perini Corp. (Framingham, Massachusetts), will provide engineering for the Iraq Infrastructure Reconstruction Program, managed by the Coalition Provisional Authority's (CPA) Program Management Office (PMO) in Iraq. The contract is an indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity contract for up to $500 million worth of work, to be performed over a base period of two years, with options for three additional years.

The PMO's mission is to rebuild and improve Iraq's infrastructure, while involving the Iraqi people and their governmental ministries to achieve self-sufficiency. This contract, therefore, includes incentives to transfer skills and capabilities to Iraqi workers and subcontractors.

POWER will provide engineering for electrical transmission, distribution, communications and controls work to help build up Iraq's power-supply infrastructure throughout southern Iraq. This award marks POWER's third contract involving work in Iraq in less than a year. The two previous contracts were also with Perini as the prime contractor and were awarded by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. Under its current contracts, POWER has provided engineering for 360 km (224 miles) of 400-kV transmission line, three power generation plants and several electrical substations.
