LOS ANGELES, July 28 (UPI) -- The U.S. Naval Facilities Engineering Command has tapped AECOM Technology Corp. to develop solar power installations at Navy and Marine bases in six states.

Under the indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity contract, AECOM will provide engineering, procurement and construction services for solar power systems at sites in Arizona, California, Colorado, Nevada, New Mexico and Utah.

AECOM's partner, Solar Power Partners, will finance and own the systems, AECOM said in a news release.

The dollar value of the AECOM-SPP contract, one of five awarded for the project, wasn't disclosed but the five contracts combined have a potential value of $100 million.

The contractors will compete for task orders under the terms and conditions of the award.

"The U.S. federal government views renewable energy as an important strategic goal to improve environmental performance, reduce energy costs and enhance energy security at multiple levels," said John M. Dionisio, AECOM president and chief executive officer. "We are proud to be selected by the U.S. Navy for this important assignment."
