AECOM Technology Corporation (NYSE:ACM), the world’s #1-ranked engineering design firm, announced today that a joint venture it leads has been awarded a contract with a ceiling of US$600 million from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). The indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity contract is expected to yield between US$100 and US$300 million over the life of the contract.
AECOM, as the managing party of the Compass PTS joint venture team, has been selected as one of two preferred consultant joint ventures to provide architectural and engineering services for various projects as part of FEMA’s large-scale efforts to provide quality flood and other risk data to increase public awareness and achieve mitigation actions that reduce the risk to life and property.
AECOM and CDM Smith, the other controlling partner on the Compass PTS joint venture — along with its Compass PTS joint venture partners T&M Associates, Halff Associates, Fugro EarthData, Inc., and ABSG Consulting, as well as several sub-consultants — will provide production and technical services for the Risk Mapping, Assessment and Planning (Risk MAP), Hazard Mitigation Technical Assistance Program (HMTAP) and Technical Assistance and Research Contracts (TARC) programs. The Risk MAP program combines flood-hazard mapping, risk-assessment tools and hazard-mitigation planning into an integrated program that encourages building more-resilient communities.

The contract period is five years, with additional options years possible. Projects are scheduled to be initiated between December 2014 and 2019.
