Melwood Contract Site Feature Fort George G. Meade Army Base

In January 2011, Melwood began its largest and most complex Total Facilities Management project at Fort George G. Meade. With a diverse and talented team of 120 employees, as well as subcontractors, we provide facilities maintenance, grounds and environmental management, recyclables collection, and much more while supporting 210 facilities, covering 4 million square feet of office and commercial space. Our overall mission is to support military service members and their families.

Last year, the Operations and Maintenance team - including HVAC, electrical, plumbing, carpentry and fire protection - successfully responded to more than 9,000 Demand Maintenance Orders and 12,000 Preventive Maintenance Orders. Our crew experienced a 20% increase in service requests from previous years and continued to exceed all contractual performance requirements.

The Roads, Grounds and Recycling team successfully provided grass cutting, leave removal, recyclable pick-up and snow removal for 775 acres of grounds, 330 acres of pavement, 74 miles of sidewalk and 50 miles of fence line. They also collected over 700 tons of recyclables.    

 The Engineering team developed scopes of work, managed projects and provided mechanical and civil engineering support working hand-in-hand with the government staff, as well as Melwood procurement, to award and execute a diverse range of minor construction work.

The operational teams can’t achieve these impressive results without help. The Work Reception team, Procurement/Supply, Business Operations, Quality/Safety/Environmental, Information Technology and Human Resources/Security departments are a critical component to the team’s success. With an annual contract value of $20 million, Melwood’s highly qualified staff uses their talent and expertise to execute the highest quality work each and every day. The Fort Meade customers and U.S. Army Garrison leadership routinely commend Melwood’s team for excellent services and around-the-clock focus on mission support and readiness.

Fort Meade has an incredible team led by amazing people who are passionate about their work, many of which have served in uniform or as contractors in war zones. The entire team is focused on continual improvement and insistent on providing the best and most efficient support services for Team Meade’s critical mission as, “The Nation’s Preeminent Center for Information, Intelligence and Cyber Operations.”
