AECOM announced today that an AECOM-led team has been awarded a US$40-million on-call contract by the California Department of Water Resources to provide aquatic and hydrodynamic technical services for the agency’s activities in the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta.
The AECOM-led team will provide expert technical advice and consultation services, including: experimental design and implementation of non-physical fish barrier performance evaluations; fish screen monitoring and facilities design; field surveys for biological and physical parameters; study design and data analyses; regulatory permit acquisition; water resources planning; water quality modeling; and multi-dimensional model development and application.
“AECOM is proud to play a key role in supporting California’s water resources with these critically important activities,” said AECOM President and Chief Executive Officer John M. Dionisio. “The department’s efforts will help protect special-status fish species in the delta.”
The contract will run through 2015.
