Munitions Services

The Shaw Group announced its Environmental & Infrastructure Group has been awarded a military munitions services contract by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Baltimore District. Shaw is one of five companies selected for the indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity contract to support the Department of Defense (DoD) Military Munitions Response Program (MMRP). If all options are exercised, the total program for all contractors will approximate $180 million. The value of Shaw’s contract, which will be included in the company’s first quarter fiscal 2009 backlog of unfilled orders, was not disclosed.

Under its contract, Shaw will perform removal or remedial actions, munitions response and other environmental- and munitions-related services at formerly used defense sites, DoD base realignment and closure sites, active DoD installations and properties adjoining installations. For more than 20 years, Shaw has provided munitions response solutions to the DoD at locations in the U.S., Afghanistan, Iraq, Puerto Rico, Hawaii and Guam.

“Shaw is bringing its strong portfolio of environmental experience and Munitions and Explosives of Concern (MEC) expertise to continue supporting the DoD MMRP,” said George P. Bevan, president of Shaw’s Environmental & Infrastructure Group. “This contract further validates our growth in the MEC marketplace and ability to successfully provide turnkey environmental and MEC solutions to federal clients, while maintaining industry leading safety and quality performance standards.”
