Business Wire
Fluor Corporation (NYSE: FLR) announced today that the company
has been awarded a contract by the Department of Homeland
Security’s Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) to provide
architectural and engineering services to support disaster-related
operations in Texas following the severe thunderstorms, tornadoes
and flooding that swept through the state in May.
Fluor’s contract is one of two task order contracts announced by
FEMA for disaster response services in Texas. The contract was
issued under the Architects and Engineers Technical Assistance
Contract, which carries out the statutory authorities of the Robert
T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act. The
contract has a six-month base period with an additional six-month
option period. The undisclosed contract amount will be booked in
the third quarter.
Fluor will support FEMA in the restoration of vital
infrastructure, public facilities and services, rehabilitation and
reconstruction of private and commercial properties, restoration of
the economic base and coordination with voluntary agencies and
administration of assistance to households and individuals.
“We are proud to be part of this important humanitarian effort,”
said Bruce Stanski, president of Fluor’s Government Group. “For
almost two decades Fluor has consistently and successfully provided
technical support services to the FEMA Public Assistance Program.
Regionally, we have supported relief efforts for Hurricanes Gustav,
Ike, Katrina and Rita. Nationwide, we have assisted individuals and
communities to recover from the devastation of floods, tornadoes,
hurricanes, earthquakes and other natural disasters.”
Since 1997, Fluor has worked closely with FEMA to provide
technical assistance in disaster-stricken locations. From tornadoes
in Kansas, river floods in North Dakota, earthquakes in California
and hurricanes all along the Gulf Coast, Fluor’s expertise in
recovery operations allows the company to deliver innovative and
integrated solutions that meet the needs of disaster victims in a
timely manner. In 2005, Fluor played a vital role in supporting
FEMA’s delivery of aid to victims of Hurricanes Katrina and Rita,
and Fluor continues to provide disaster recovery support to restore
infrastructure in Louisiana 10 years after the hurricanes.
