Business Wire
Tetra Tech, Inc. (NASDAQ: TTEK) announced today that the
National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) has awarded
the Company a $49 million, indefinite delivery, indefinite quantity
contract to support the Office for Coastal Management’s (OCM)
Digital Coast program. Tetra Tech is one of five contractors who
will share in the contract ceiling over a five-year period.
Tetra Tech will provide OCM with highly technical geospatial
services to support NOAA’s mandate to manage the nation’s coastal
resources, including the Great Lakes. The geographic scope of the
contract extends from the U.S. territories in American Samoa to the
U.S. Virgin Islands, and to all coastal states.
Tetra Tech will use innovative collection methods to acquire,
analyze, and process geospatial data to address critical coastal
issues such as sea level rise, coastal resiliency, sustainable land
use, and marine planning. Data collection methods may include the
use of airborne and bathymetric lidar, satellite imagery, and video
and acoustic technologies to produce high-resolution maps and data
products for use by coastal managers.
In addition to data collection, Tetra Tech will provide
technical GIS support services such as software application
development, data analytics, and data integration and modeling.
This would enable NOAA to engage in the development of green
infrastructure and the creation of sustainable ecological, social,
and economic solutions to reduce the impact of rising seas and
climate change on coastal shorelines.
“We are pleased to combine our leadership position in water with
full-service geospatial data acquisition and analytics capabilities
to support the Digital Coast Program,” said Dan Batrack, Tetra
Tech’s Chairman and CEO. “Through the application of advanced
software and GIS technologies we will support OCM’s mission to
effectively manage and protect our coastal resources.”
