AECOM Technology Corporation (NYSE:ACM), the world’s #1-ranked
engineering design firm, announced today that it has been awarded a
US$91-million contract by Miami-Dade County commissioners in Florida to
oversee US$1.6 billion in federally mandated repairs to the county’s
sewer system.
AECOM will provide program and construction management services for
upgrades to the existing wastewater treatment plants and the collection
and transmission system pipes and pump stations — including overseeing
and supporting the early planning, design and construction phases of the
capital program. AECOM will also oversee the implementation of numerous
capacity, management, operations and maintenance programs required by a
federal consent decree.
“We are pleased to be selected for this important project, which will
benefit the residents and visitors of Miami-Dade County through major
improvements to the county’s wastewater system and facilities,” said
Michael S. Burke, AECOM president and chief executive officer. “This is
a great opportunity to again demonstrate AECOM’s expertise in delivering
complex and crucial projects, which includes numerous large water and
wastewater projects throughout the world.”
AECOM was awarded a five-year contract, with two five-year extension
options.
