NASA AWARDS CONTRACT TO REVITALIZE POWER DISTRIBUTION SYSTEMS

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. -- NASA has selected MIL-CON Electric Company of 
Jacksonville, Fla., to revitalize the high and medium electric 
voltage power distribution systems throughout NASA's Kennedy Space 
Center. The value of the contract is approximately $6.1 million.

MIL-CON's scope of work includes modifications to the systems 
providing high voltage utility power service at Kennedy. This work 
will span the space center from the Industrial Area to Launch Complex 
39 and will significantly improve electrical systems reliability. In 
addition, the contract will include substation improvement work, 
installation of new medium and low voltage switch equipment, and 
replacement of power cables approaching the end of their service 
life. A major electrical rehabilitation to Complex 39 launch pads and 
the Vehicle Assembly Building will be undertaken to support future 
launch programs.

The project is scheduled to begin in the fall of 2010 and will take 
two years to complete.
