Two US companies get billion dollars worth of Iraq contracts: Pentagon

WASHINGTON (AFP) - Two US companies won contracts worth up to one billion dollars for construction projects related to electric power services in Iraq.

The deals were the latest installment in a series of long-awaited reconstruction contracts to total up to five billion dollars.

Washington International Inc, of Princeton, New Jersey, was awarded a contract with a ceiling of 500 million dollars for construction services on electric power projects in northern Iraq, the Pentagon said.

Perini Corp, of Framingham, Massachusetts, won a similar contract worth up to 500 million dollars for construction services on electric power projects in southern Iraq, it said.

They came a day after the Pentagon awarded two other Iraq reconstruction contracts worth up to 1.1 billion dollars.

A joint venture between Washington International and Black and Veatch, of Boise, Idaho, won one of those contracts for design and construction services for Iraqi national water projects. It was worth up to 600 million dollars.

Flour Amec, of Greenville, South Carolina, won a contract worth up to 500 million dollars to build, rehabilitate, operate and maintain electric power stations.

On Wednesday, the Pentagon served up seven contracts worth more than 120 million dollars to US and British companies to manage the reconstruction projects in six sectors -- electricity, public works, security and justice, transportation and communication, health and education, and oil.

It doled out a series of smaller contracts on Monday to Iraqi, Polish and United Arab Emirate firms for housing developments.

The United States has pledged 18.4 billion dollars for reconstruction in Iraq, more than one third of the 55 billion dollars the World Bank estimates will be necessary to get the country back on its feet.

But Washington infuriated many countries last year by declaring that primary rebuilding contracts would exclude war opponents such as France and Germany, while primary contractors were free to hand out work to whomever they want.
