Stantec and Kleinfelder partner for USACE flood projects

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Sacramento District has awarded Stantec and Kleinfelder a $110 million contract for designing and engineering water and stormwater infrastructure.

Under this multiple award task order contract, the two businesses will help the USACE Sacramento District with 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.

Partnering as Kleinfelder-Stantec, 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).

The team was also recently awarded a $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 U.S. Federal Program.
