Fleetwood Enterprises Inc. announced today that its Trendsetter Homes division has signed a contract to supply modular military housing to the U.S. Army for the third phase of construction at Fort Bliss in El Paso, Texas. Terms of the multi-million dollar contract were not disclosed.
To complete Task Order III of the Fort Bliss project, Trendsetter Homes, Fleetwood's modular division, will continue the offsite construction of the primary component of the Army's new permanent barracks at its facility in Belton, Texas. Trendsetter has already supplied 18 buildings for the project, composed of 1,176 apartment units. This phase will entail at least three more buildings, each of which will have 64 apartments. Fleetwood estimates that its Texas plant will build the modules through mid-May, with site completion continuing through approximately September. This phase is expected to complete the Unaccompanied Enlisted Personnel Housing permanent barracks at Fort Bliss. The Army is considering a number of similar projects at other bases, many of which Trendsetter is actively pursuing.
Undertaken by the U.S. Army in support of the Military Housing Transformation Initiative, the project will contribute to upgrading on-base housing at Fort Bliss, which encompasses 1.1 million acres of land. It is also the site of the Army's Air Defense Artillery Center, responsible for the education and training of Air Defense Artillery soldiers and units. Fleetwood has teamed with several companies that have expertise in various areas of development and construction in connection with this contract. Hensel Phelps is the prime contractor and owner of the government contract; the architectural and engineering leadership is being provided by The Benham Companies; and The Warrior Group, which is tasked with delivering completed living units, contracted with Fleetwood to construct the modular units.
