CLEVELAND, Aug. 27 (UPI) -- The U.S. space agency says it's selected four Ohio companies to provide electrical, mechanical and structural construction-related work.

The contracts, for work at the Glenn Research Center's Lewis Field in Cleveland and NASA's Plum Brook Station in Sandusky, Ohio, were awarded to EdArch-Erie J.V. of Shaker Heights; R.J. Runge of Port Clinton; KBJ Inc. of Oakwood Village; and Pinnacle Construction and Development Group Inc. of Willoughby.

The one-year contracts begin in early October with four one-year options. The selected companies will compete for the tasks, NASA said. Each contract has a maximum value of $20 million.
