AECOM announced that it has been awarded an indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity (IDIQ) contract from the U.S. Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) to support its Hazard Mitigation Technical Assistance Program.
AECOM will provide technical services to support the program’s response capability for all types of pre- and post-disaster mitigation activities to events such as coastal flooding, tropical cyclones, typhoons, hurricanes, dam and levee failures, wildfires and severe storms or events. The contract includes a one-year base period and four one-year option periods. The maximum contract value is $150 million.
“AECOM has a strong performance history with FEMA through our support on more than 700 task orders for the agency,” said John M.

The first two task orders awarded under the contract entail a flood study in Wisconsin and rapid response surveying of high-water marks in Tennessee.
