IRVING, Texas--(Business Wire)--
Fluor Corporation (NYSE:FLR) announced today that the company was awarded three
new contracts by the United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) to provide
life support services for its personnel and other clients in Iraq. The contracts
are valued in total at approximately $80 million and the scopes of work for all
three contracts are expected to be completed by the end of the third quarter
2010. Fluor booked the contracts into backlog in the third quarter 2009. 

The newly awarded contracts for life support services include billeting, office
and facility services which will provide support for approximately 1,500 USACE

also a cost-plus, fixed-fee scope of work that includes vehicle and fleet
maintenance and operating 12 remote vehicle maintenance facilities around Iraq.
These facilities provide repairs and standard maintenance for non-tactical
vehicles as well as light and heavy armored vehicles. 

"We feel fortunate that the Corps of Engineers recognizes our past performance
and has the confidence in our employees to choose Fluor again for this important
work," said Bruce Stanski, president of Fluor`s Government Group. "Our team is
engaged and ready to continue supporting our client under this new contract."
