AECOM (NYSE: ACM), the world’s trusted infrastructure consulting
firm, today announced the U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s
Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has awarded an AECOM
joint venture with Dewberry (NISTAC PLUS JV) a contract to provide
public and technical assistance services under the Public
Assistance Technical Assistance V (PA-TAC V) contract to support
its Public Assistance grant program.
AECOM will serve as managing partner of the joint venture, which
will partner with FEMA to assist in processing grants that lead to
restoration or replacement of public facilities after
presidentially declared disasters and emergencies. This includes
assessing disaster damage and assisting applicants with identifying
eligible losses. The contract comprises scope requirements that
exclusively support the Atlantic Zone, comprised of eight states,
Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands.
“Climate change is a force multiplier, increasing the need for
innovative solutions that improve critical infrastructure for
generations to come,” said Beverley Stinson, chief executive of
AECOM’s global Water business. “We’re proud that FEMA continues to
place its confidence in AECOM across their critical missions,
spanning preparedness, mitigation, response and recovery, to ensure
communities remain resilient amidst the impacts of a changing
environment.”
The task orders under this contract support state and local
governments and private non-profit organizations that require
recovery assistance services for public infrastructure, such as
schools, hospitals, government buildings, roads, bridges and
utilities. The scope of work is expected to include site
inspection, program technical assistance for the Public Assistance
Community Disaster Loan program, program analysis and support,
field technical support, cost estimating support, and other
technical services.
“AECOM has responded to more than 400 disasters and crises in
every corner of the world and this win is a testament to the
dedication, expertise, and collaborative spirit of our team at
every level,” Karl Jensen, executive vice president of AECOM’s
National Governments business. “We understand the importance of
this mission and are committed to delivering world-class service
and innovation to ensure the success of FEMA's critical initiatives
during America’s most challenging times of need.”
This win is part of AECOM’s ongoing support of FEMA to achieve
its goals related to its Public Assistance grant program, focused
on providing funds to assist communities responding and recovering
from major disasters.
