DCK Pacific LLC, an affiliate of Dick Pacific Construction, is being awarded a $24.6 million contract by the U.S. Department of Defense for work on a water system at Naval Base Guam.

The work includes replacing existing water lines with larger ones, installing a new emergency generator and new concrete building and other jobs.

The Naval Facilities Engineering Command at Pearl Harbor awarded the contract after soliciting contractors and reviewing six offers. The work is expected to be completed by April 2010.
