Environmental engineering, restoration and compliance services will be provided to NASA under a five-year deal by Jacobs in a joint venture (JV) with Geosyntec.
Jacobs said the JV would support “safe, sustainable operations for multiple NASA centers, component facilities and other infrastructure assets.”
The contract, which involves infinite delivery and quantity, will see Jacobs cover technical consultation, contamination detection, sampling, human health and ecological risk assessments, evaluating remedial alternatives, implementing remediation technologies and long-term management of affected environmental media.
Jacobs said NASA requested support with evaluations, environmental permitting, planning and compliance activities surrounding emerging contaminants, hazardous and solid waste management, emergency spill cleanup and prevention, and energy and water management as per the Environmental Justice and National Environmental Policy Act.
The contract award marks the continuation of an existing relationship between Jacobs and NASA. Jacobs said the services it provides to NASA focus on addressing the space administration’s “infrastructure, environmental and sustainability needs.”
Jacobs said it had provided services to NASA for four decades, including environmental work at Marshall Space Flight Center, Santa Susana Field Laboratory, Michoud Assembly Facility, Armstrong Flight Research Center, Johnson Space Center, Kennedy Space Center, Wallops Flight Facility and Goddard Space Flight Center.
Jacobs senior vice president Susannah Kerr said: “As one of NASA’s longest-serving solution providers, our team has an intimate knowledge of NASA’s unique geographic and environmental considerations needs.
“We tailor environmental restoration and compliance services effectively without impacting critical operations, ensuring ‘s work at the frontier of space and scientific discovery continues to flourish.”
Geosyntec senior principal/vice president and NASA program manager Jim Langenbach said: “As a 20+ year consultant to NASA at Kennedy Space Center, Geosyntec is committed to supporting NASA’s vision through the success of our JV partnership with Jacobs.
“We are dedicated to delivering exceptional service and best-value solutions to address NASA’s nationwide environmental restoration and compliance challenges.”
