Win continues Jacobs’ 12 years of work with New Bedford Harbor Superfund
Site
DALLAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Jacobs
Engineering Group Inc. (NYSE:JEC) has received a single-award
contract from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers New England District
(USACE NAE) to provide environmental remediation and restoration,
technical support and facility maintenance at the New Bedford Harbor
Superfund Site (NBHSS) in New Bedford, MA. Jacobs has supported NAE in
this capacity at the site since early 2004.
The indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity (ID/IQ) remedial action
contract has a capacity value of $350 million.
“With our in-depth understanding of cleanup objectives from more than 12
years of effectively handling NBHSS’ unique conditions and challenges,
we’re pleased to be working with USACE NAE to complete the next phase of
harbor remediation,” said Jacobs Senior Vice President Aerospace and
Technology Ward Johnson. “We expect the technical and management
approaches used by our team will enable the site to meet the final
cleanup objectives cost effectively and in a reasonable timeframe.”
New Bedford Harbor, home to a large commercial fishing fleet, is one of
the oldest recreational and commercial navigation harbors along the East
Coast of the United States. The USACE was requested by the US
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to clean up PCB-contaminated
sediments from the harbor. The contamination is the result of waste
discharged from the 1940s through the 1970s by two electrical capacitor
manufacturing plants. The USACE has been supporting EPA on this project
since the mid-1980s.
