SAN ANTONIO, Texas — The U.S. Air Force, Civil Engineer Center – Environmental Division, selected CDM Smith in a joint venture with Weston Solutions, Inc. (Weston), as the Weston-CDM Smith, JV LLC, for a $1.5 billion multiple-award task order contract to provide environmental architect and engineering (A-E) services. The contract consists of a five-year base period plus one five-year option period. This opportunity allows CDM Smith to continue supporting the U.S. Air Force cleanup program and advance environmental programs worldwide.
The team’s expected work effort will consist of environmental site investigations, planning, assessments, designing remediation strategies for cleanup activities, and fieldwork associated with remediation, including for emerging contaminants. The JV's expertise will be invaluable in addressing multimedia issues involving emerging and complex contaminants such as PFAS, chlorinated solvents, and potential munitions constituents at National Priorities List (NPL) and other sites.
The JV brings advanced technical capabilities in characterizing and remediating emerging contaminants, particularly PFAS. Both JV partners are members of the Interstate Technology Regulatory Council (ITRC) PFAS Training Team and have completed more than 400 PFAS investigation and remediation projects nationwide and overseas. The JV's technical leadership is further demonstrated by its experience on the Strategic Environmental Research and Development Program (SERDP) and Environmental Security Technology Certification Program (ESTCP), with staff serving as Principal Investigators on over 20 PFAS-related research assignments.
Our innovative solutions to complex problems, in partnership with Weston, can help meet these challenges in furtherance of the Air Force’s mission.
