JPE Inc., a Colorado Springs general contractor specializing in federal construction work, has been awarded a contract to repair and replace roofing structures at the Fort Bliss Army Base in El Paso. The five year contract could be worth $30 million.

JPE has been active in Albuquerque since 2008, when it began work on the Veteran’s Administration Health Care complex, where it has six different projects. The company opened a field office in the Duke City at 231 Sierra Dr. SE, to handle the work that includes building repairs as well as replacing a building. The firm is owned by Juvenal (Joe) Camacho, a decorated disabled military veteran with 28 years of service. John Humphrey is the firm’s New Mexico project manager.

Despite the economy, JPE has grown its revenue in 2010 and estimates an $11 million year, an increase of 68 percent over 2009.

At Fort Bliss, JPE has assembled a construction team and work is currently under way. It includes roofing repairs on hundreds of buildings used for office administration purposes.

Ron Holland, JPE’s Chief Operating Officer, said the contract is the largest awarded to the firm since its inception in 1998.

“The contract win represents the hard work of Roger Summers, our national director of marketing, and other members of the JPE team,” Holland said. “Government work is our specialty, in fact, it’s all we do."
