AECOM (NYSE: ACM), the world’s trusted infrastructure consulting firm, today announced that its joint venture with Stantec was awarded a five-year environmental planning contract by the Naval Facilities Engineering Systems Command (NAVFAC) Pacific. The joint venture will deliver environmental planning services, primarily within the Pacific Region, in support of Navy and Marine Corps compliance with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA).

“Building on two decades of collaboration, we’re excited to continue our long-standing partnership with NAVFAC Pacific,” said Lara Poloni, AECOM’s president. “Through the strength of our technical experts, deep regional expertise and delivery of digital innovations, including digital NEPA tools and virtual stakeholder engagement, we are well positioned to continue delivering world-class environmental services for NAVFAC.”

Under this single-award, indefinite-delivery, indefinite quantity (IDIQ) contract with a $99 million ceiling, the Stantec GS-AECOM Pacific joint venture will research, prepare, update and review Navy and Marine Corps documents to support NEPA compliance. The scope of work also includes environmental, facilities and land use planning studies. With a continued commitment to supplier diversity, the JV has a skilled team of specialty subcontractors, including small, historically underutilized business zones (HUBZones), woman-owned, Native Hawaiian 8(a), veteran-owned, and small disadvantaged businesses.

“Reflecting our commitment to delivering Sustainable Legacies, we’re excited to partner with Stantec to support this work that is poised to have a significant positive impact on environmental planning strategy for the Navy,” said Frank Sweet, chief executive of AECOM’s global Environment business. “Our deep expertise in environmental planning, master planning, infrastructure and transportation, coupled with our support of the Navy’s work on resiliency and climate change assessments, has positioned our team as a trusted partner on crucial Navy programs.”
