The US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Sacramento District has
awarded Stantec and Kleinfelder an Architect-Engineer Civil
Works/Dam Safety/Levee Safety Program Design Services contract with
a capacity of US$110 million. Partnering as Kleinfelder-Stantec, a
Joint Venture, the firms will provide a full spectrum of design and
construction phase services for USACE’s Civil Works projects across
the USACE South Pacific Division. The team will also support
projects for the Military, Military Construction (MILCON),
Interagency and International Services (IIS), and Hazardous, Toxic,
and Radioactive Wastes (HTRW).
Under this multiple award task order contract, the
Kleinfelder-Stantec team will support the USACE Sacramento District
with the delivery of a large portfolio of programs and projects
related to water infrastructure. These include critical flood risk
management and dam safety projects throughout the region;
environmental management and restoration; response to natural and
manmade disasters; and engineering and technical services to the
Army, Department of Defense, and other Federal agencies.
The team was recently awarded a US$17.3-million task order under
the contract to provide geotechnical investigation and design
support for the Lower San Joaquin River Levee Improvement Project.
The project aims to reduce overall flood risk in the Stockton
metropolitan area, which is at risk of flooding from levee failure
that could threaten the safety of people, property, and critical
infrastructure throughout the area.
“In partnership with Kleinfelder, we’re incredibly excited to
support USACE Sacramento on critical water infrastructure, flood
risk management, and dam safety projects across the region,” said
Chris Williams, senior vice president for Stantec’s US Federal
Program. “Our collective team has deep expertise in the technical,
regulatory, and environmental compliance requirements necessary to
design, build, and maintain these key projects, and we look forward
to building on our longstanding partnership with USACE.”
“With Kleinfelder founded 60 years ago in Stockton, we take
great pride in being able to help USACE and its stakeholders
achieve a higher level of protection and resiliency for our
neighbors,” said Kleinfelder vice president and area manager, Mark
W. Connelly. “It is hard to put into words the excitement and
satisfaction that comes from knowing that our efforts will reduce
the potential for catastrophic flooding in the community where we
live and work,” added Kleinfelder project manager Steven Wiesner, a
lifelong resident of Stockton.
