Engineering firm Wood Group has been awarded a five-year operations and maintenance contract extension by Sacramento Power Authority (SPA) for the operations and maintenance of their SPA CoGen III facility in California.
The extension, worth $25m, brings the life of the contract to a total of 10 years. It follows a similar operations and maintenance contract extension for the Sacramento Municipal Utility District Financing Authority (SMUDFA) Cosumnes power plant in 2011.
Under the terms of the agreement with SPA, Wood Group is responsible for the care and custody of the plant, including daily operations and routine maintenance. The plant provides power and steam to the adjacent Campbell's Soup facility.
