RESTON, Virginia, May 12, 2014—Bechtel has recognized 19 companies for outstanding work on government projects with the annual Bechtel Systems and Infrastructure Subcontractor and Supplier Recognition Awards. The awards honor subcontractors and suppliers that supported Bechtel‘s government services business unit in work such as environmental cleanup, national security science, construction, facility startup, and nuclear security and operations during 2013. “Our subcontractors, vendors, and suppliers help strengthen the critical work we do through performance, value, and innovation,” said Craig Albert, president of Bechtel’s government services business unit. “These awards recognize those who met our high standards for quality and who went above and beyond for mission delivery.” Bechtel is committed to partnering with small businesses, suppliers, and subcontractors to provide the highest quality and promote the best in sustainability while working together to complete our missions. These partnerships spur economic development in the communities where our employees live and work and help sustain the skills needed for future work. Companies were evaluated on overall performance and other factors. They include the ability to deliver quality services or supplies on time, work collaboratively to meet milestones, and meet or exceed project expectations in safety, construction performance, technical expertise, environmental compliance, and cost. Nominations were reviewed and approved by Bechtel procurement managers and project managers. Final recommendations were approved by Bechtel’s senior leadership.
