AECOM (NYSE:ACM), the world’s premier infrastructure firm,
announced today that it has delivered a temporary healthcare
facility with nearly 200 operational patient beds at The Ranch
Events Complex in Larimer County, Colorado. An additional 200
patient beds that require minimal build out have also been turned
over for future surge capacity. The project with the U.S. Army
Corps of Engineers (USACE), Omaha District, in support of a Federal
Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) mission assignment, rapidly
retrofitted the fairgrounds to ease the potential strain on
existing medical facilities during the coronavirus pandemic.
“AECOM’s significant experience with healthcare infrastructure
and disaster recovery makes us ideally suited to address this
historic public health and economic crisis,” said Steve Morriss,
AECOM’s president of Design and Consulting Services Americas. “Our
long-standing partnerships with government agencies like the USACE,
FEMA, and state and local emergency management agencies have
allowed us to rapidly mobilize to get these essential facilities
functional as quickly and safely as possible.”
During national emergencies, the USACE is the U.S. federal
government's lead public works and engineering support agency.
AECOM was awarded the contract on April 8 and within 24 hours,
provided a build-out team to assess existing conditions and perform
reconnaissance. The project was substantially complete completed on
May 1.
“Our nation’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic requires the
utmost teamwork, quality and speed to deliver the right care at the
points needed,” said Lieutenant General Todd T. Semonite,
Commanding General of the USACE. “AECOM is doing just that. I was
very impressed by their selfless teamwork with Corps of Engineers
and the State of Colorado to deliver the alternate care facility at
the Larimer Ranch.”
In April, AECOM was awarded more than $200 million in contracts
by key U.S. federal and state government agencies to assist in
their responses to the coronavirus crisis, including several
substantial design and program management projects to support the
construction of emergency triage hospitals across the United
States.
