Tetra Tech, Inc. (NASDAQ:TTEK) announced today that it has been awarded
a Worldwide Environmental Remediation Services (WERS) contract by the
U.S. Army Engineering and Support Center, Huntsville (Huntsville
Center). The contract is focused on munitions response and other
hazardous, toxic, and radioactive waste (HTRW) remediation services.
Tetra Tech is one of seven large businesses that were awarded this
five-year indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity contract, which has a
shared capacity of $965 million. Tetra Tech has held predecessor
contracts for worldwide unexploded ordnance services since 2000.
The WERS contract includes response activities anywhere munitions are or
have been stored, evaluated, treated, disposed of, or used for military
training and operations.
"Unexploded ordnance cleanup is an important part of many remediation
programs,” said Dan Batrack, Tetra Tech’s Chairman and CEO. "Tetra Tech
is pleased to support the Huntsville Center as it seeks to return lands
and waters to safe and productive use. These cleanup activities will
help the U.S. Department of Defense achieve its Base Realignment and
Closure (BRAC) goals and support the Military Munitions Response Program
(MMRP) worldwide.”
