AECOM (NYSE: ACM), the world’s trusted infrastructure consulting
firm, today announced that its SLICOM joint venture with managing
partner Street Legal Industries has been awarded an indefinite
delivery, indefinite quantity contract by the U.S. Department of
Interior Bureau of Land Management to support the government’s
Federal Orphaned Well Program. The multi-state, multi-agency
program—supported by $4.7 billion in funding through the
Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA)—addresses the
significant risks to human and environmental health from abandoned
oil and gas wells in national parks, national forests, national
wildlife refuges, and other federal lands throughout the United
States.
“Millions of Americans live within a mile of orphaned oil and
gas wells that pollute the air and water, are a source of climate
warming emissions, and pose public safety hazards,” said Frank
Sweet, chief executive of AECOM’s global Environment business.
“Harnessing the passion of our technical experts, deeply aligned
with the core principles of AECOM’s Sustainable Legacies strategy,
we look forward to making a positive impact through this critical
environmental remediation program that will spur economic
development in effected communities.”
The SLICOM joint venture will deliver a range of services
required for remediation following more than 150 years of oil and
gas production on federal lands nationwide. The program includes
planning; environmental assessments, permitting, testing, and
compliance; investigations of abandoned oil and gas wells; digital
and geographic information system services; and project inspection
services. A major initiative within the program is mitigating
harmful methane pollution, which is a key contributor to climate
change. By leveraging its cutting-edge technology for methane
monitoring, AECOM’s industry-leading air quality experts will be
key to the team’s successful delivery.
“We are proud of our industry-leading supplier diversity program
and thrilled that we are continuing to build on our successful
collaboration with our small business protégé Street Legal
Industries through this new contract,” said Karl Jensen, executive
vice president of AECOM’s National Governments business. “These
small business partnerships positively impact the environment and
communities nationwide, and they are integral to our work to
deliver a better world.”
Street Legal Industries is an 8(a), woman-owned small business
that is participating in the U.S. Small Business Administration
mentor-protégé program with AECOM as their large business mentor.
In this rigorous six-year program, large federal contractors are
paired with small and diverse firms to help grow their capabilities
with the objective of becoming more competitive in the federal
market. AECOM has formally mentored 12 firms in federal agency
mentor-protégé programs over the past five years and has been
recognized with numerous national awards for its commitment to
meaningful small business partnerships.
