Award of the main construction contract of a new prison medical facility in Stockton – a deal worth about $512 million – will go to a joint venture of Clark Construction Group of Bethesda, Md., and McCarthy Building Cos. of St. Louis.
The bid was announced today by California prison officials.
The California Health Care Facility, Stockton, estimated to cost more than $906 million will house 1,722 mentally and physically ill state prisoners when it opens in 2013.
The construction project is expected to generate up to 5,500 temporary jobs, with as many as 1,700 construction workers on site at one time. Once it opens, the 1.2 million-square-foot prison will employ 2,400 doctors, nurses and correctional staffers with an annual payroll of $220 million.
Demolition work at the site already is under way.
