Fenstermaker is part of the team selected for an Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract to provide general design support services, multidisciplinary consulting services and construction management services, primarily within the limits of the New Orleans District, by the New Orleans District of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (Corps). Bioengineering Group and ARCADIS announced earlier this month that their team was awarded the multi-year $150M contract. In addition to Bioengineering ARCADIS, LLC, team members include C.H. Fenstermaker & Associates, HNTB, Tetra Tech., Dutch WL Delft Hydraulics, and Alkyon.

According to ARCADIS, the contract is the first one awarded by the Corps related to forward-looking design services for post-Katrina solutions for hurricane protection in the Gulf Coast. Services under this contract will be provided to the Hurricane Protection Office and the Protection Restoration Office of the New Orleans District. Anticipated project work will require a broad range of professional skills including overall program and construction management and include the evaluation, design and construction management of levees and floodwalls; special closure structures for protection of the communities adjacent to the Inner Harbor Navigation Canal; major pumping facilities; and planning studies for improved levels of flood protection for New Orleans and southern Louisiana.

Brad Hamilton, Vice President of Government Services, stated, "I am excited about the opportunity to be of service to the Corps, the Bioengineering ARCADIS, LLC team, and ultimately the communities of South Louisiana. The Fenstermaker professionals are dedicated to the rebuilding of our State and returning the quality of life to those that lost so much as a result of Hurricane Katrina."
