The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers recently awarded two California and Virginia Beach, Va.-based consulting firms a $64 million to design and build several public structures on Fort Benning, near Columbus.

Tetra Tech-Tesoro says they will build a library and instruction facility, a maintenance facility, and storage buildings in the joint project.

The project is part of the Army's planned relocation of the Armor Center at Fort Knox to Fort Benning over the next several years, as part of the Base Realignment and Closure program (BRAC).

Tetra Tech-Tesoro says they expect the construction to be completed in 2010, according to a Market Watch report.
