AECOM secured work on a 19-contract program expected to generate $1 billion in engineering services for the expansion of Seattle’s regional transit network.
Sound Transit, the Seattle public transit agency, selected the Dallas-based firm to deliver construction management services through three multiple-award task order contracts, according to a Feb. 27 news release. The work will cover civil and structural engineering work, including preliminary engineering and full design development. The five-year design contract also includes planning and environmental services, according to AECOM.
“The full scope of our services—spanning design, environmental, and project management support—underscores the deep value we offer our clients,” says Matt Crane, chief executive of AECOM’s U.S. West region, in a press release.
On the project and construction management services contract, AECOM will lead major capital expansion and ongoing enhancement programs. For environmental services, which covers planning for new infrastructure and renewal projects, the firm will work as a subconsultant. That includes systemwide planning, assessments, investigations, and environmental clearance activities, according to the release.
AECOM did not disclose the contracts’ amount. Specific dollar amounts for multiple-award task order contracts are typically allocated only as individual task orders are issued during the course of work.
