Stantec awarded contract for up to $40 million for upcoming military projects by the US Army Corps of Engineers

Stantec announced today that it has been awarded a $40 million, five-year, indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity (IDIQ) contract by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), Baltimore District to complete military projects throughout the Baltimore District area of responsibility, as well as to the larger USACE North Atlantic Division area. Stantec will provide architecture, engineering, and related services to the USACE. In light of COVID-19, projects under the USACE Baltimore District IDIQ contract will continue in alignment with the mission of the Department of Defense.

The USACE contract expands the services Stantec provides to the Baltimore District. Stantec is currently providing project management, architecture, interior design, structural engineering, landscape architecture, and land surveying for the new Special Operations Forces Battalion Operations Facility at Humphreys Engineer Center in Alexandria, Virginia. The location of each project under this new IDIQ contract will be defined by individual work orders to be assigned at a later date.

“Since the 1970s, we’ve supported the Army Corps of Engineers with architecture and engineering services on military and civil works projects throughout the continental U.S, Middle East, and Europe,” said Will Bynum, Stantec USACE account manager. “We look forward to continuing to build on our record of success in delivering high-quality projects that truly belong to the communities they serve and span the full range of multi-discipline architectural and engineering services.”

The USACE Baltimore District contract builds on Stantec’s longstanding history delivering project services to USACE globally. The firm currently holds contracts for military programs, environmental, and civil works services with 18 USACE Districts, including Savannah, Wilmington, Mobile, Louisville, Huntington, St. Paul, Jacksonville, Galveston, Norfolk, Kansas City, New Orleans, Vicksburg, Omaha, Sacramento, Alaska, and Europe.

The USACE North Atlantic Division stretches from Virginia to Maine and provides U.S. European and U.S. Africa Commands with engineering, construction, and project management services.
