The Department of Veterans Affairs has awarded a $365 million contract for construction of a 790,000 square-foot veterans hospital in North Las Vegas.

The contract announced Thursday is the largest ever awarded by the federal department. It went to Clark/Hunt Construction, the firm hired to build the 90-bed hospital and a 120-bed nursing home.

A spokesman for Democratic Rep. Shelley Berkley says the total cost for the project is $600 million. It is slated to open in mid-2011.

Berkley spokesman David Cherry says the project is one of two new veterans hospitals approved since 2003, when the veterans department began evaluating its facilities nationwide.
