ECIP Window Replacement at Fort Polk, Louisiana – USACE

The Energy Conservation Investment Program is a MILCON-funded program to improve energy efficiency of DOD facilities while reducing associated utility energy and non-energy related costs. ECIP is a key component of DOD’s energy management strategy, with projects that focus on energy and water savings, implementing renewable energy, and converting systems to cleaner energy sources.

Sealaska Constructors was awarded a sole-source contract in September 2010 under this program. The project was to replace windows and doors in 14 buildings at Fort Polk, Louisiana, in an effort to improve energy efficiency.

The Sealaska Constructors team went above and beyond to earn their reputation at Fort Polk, finding unique solutions for a multitude of unexpected challenges and conditions on site. The US Army Corps of Engineers is quoted in the official CCASS Evaluation: “Project Manager, QC, Safety and Superintendent were all eager to be part of a team with the Corps. This contractor met every requirement placed on them by the Corps and Ft. Polk. They quickly responded to and fulfilled all requests made by this office. This contractor was proactive with all of the contract and Ft. Polk requirements, e.g. daily reporting, monthly reporting, environmental compliance, safety compliance, etc… This contractor is a joy to work with and will make any Project Engineer and Quality Assurance Representative’s duties easier.”
