After a complex, multi-year pursuit, CH2M secured a 5-year, global, indefinite delivery-indefinite quantity contract for architect-engineer services (A&E II IDIQ) for the U.S Agency for International Development (USAID). Capturing this strategic opportunity involved a cross-business group team from the Environment & Nuclear, Transportation, and Water Business Groups.
With a mission to end extreme global poverty and enable resilient, democratic societies to realize their potential, USAID administers the U.S. foreign assistance program in more than 100 countries worldwide.
On projects around the world, CH2M has partnered with USAID to improve regional infrastructure development and improve local access to clean water, health, and sanitation services. In the 1980’s, CH2M provided engineering and infrastructure development services to USAID in Alexandria and Cairo, Egypt. Building on our experience in Egypt, CH2M successfully completed major programs in the former Soviet Republics, the West Bank, Jordan, Sri Lanka, and Haiti.
The A&E II IDIQ contract has a US$600-million ceiling focusing on water (water resources, supply, and wastewater); environmental; energy; transportation; vertical structures; and telecom services in developing countries to improve overall quality of life. As part of the A&E II IDIQ contract, CH2M’s A-E services will include the engineering design, construction supervision, capacity building and training, and related services to support USAID’s mission of promoting sustainable development globally.
Services under the terms of the contract will be provided by nine companies (six large and three small businesses) chosen by USAID. Projects will be awarded through a bid process with participating companies bidding on individual USAID task orders.
