Dewberry, a privately held professional services firm, has announced it has been selected by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) to provide logistics planning and construction services under the Logistics Management Directorate (LMD). LMD provides logistics capabilities to procure and deliver goods and services that support disaster planning, response, and recovery operations for disaster survivors and communities for all states and territories inside and outside of the continental U.S.
Dewberry was awarded an indefinite-delivery, indefinite quantity (IDIQ) contract valued at $810 million with a five-and-a-half-year period of performance. The contract supports a broad range of professional services, including direct housing activities, permanent housing construction, and emergency management functions by providing emergency management planning, construction planning and management, project management, quality control, technical analyses, and administration services. Major elements of the contract also include housing mission planning, supply chain analysis, and life cycle process management system support.
“Our firm has been collaborating with FEMA for more than 45 years, supporting response and recovery efforts on a wide variety of natural and man-made disasters” says Dewberry Vice President and Senior Project Manager Joseph Goetz, PE. “Our team is prepared to continue supporting FEMA with logistics planning and construction services to aid the communities that are impacted by major events.”
