ARCADIS (EURONEXT: ARCAD), the world's leading natural and built asset design and consultancy firm, announced today that it has received several indefinite delivery indefinite quantity (IDIQ) contracts awarded by the Baltimore, Philadelphia, and Omaha districts of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. Most of these contracts have been awarded to multiple companies and ARCADIS has to compete for task orders to generate revenues.

The Baltimore District award totals US$125 million as a shared capacity contract for hazardous, toxic, and radioactive waste and military munitions services. With five companies participating, ARCADIS' equal share is valued at US$25 million. The Philadelphia District contract is a $5 million single award contract for ARCADIS covering similar services supplementing the District's capabilities for providing geo-environmental, geotechnical and professional services in support of various construction projects.

"ARCADIS looks forward to continuing our more than 20 years of support to the Baltimore District and will continue to apply innovative solutions to some of their most complex environmental remediation projects," said Heather Polinsky, director of the federal program for ARCADIS U.S. "We're pleased the Corps has recognized our contributions by selecting us as a trusted consultant and partner in helping them meet their environmental and engineering needs while improving public safety and human health."

In addition to these two contracts, ARCADIS as a joint venture with protégée firm, PIKA International, was recently awarded the Baltimore District's small business multiple award environmental services contract, a $100 million shared capacity contract for removal of hazardous materials and military munitions, as well as environmental sustainability services. With five companies participating, the ARCADIS-PIKA JV equal share is valued at US$20 million. Within the joint venture ARCADIS is expected to realize 60 percent of the gross revenues from this contract.

The ARCADIS-PIKA team was also selected as one of 10 for the Omaha District IDIQ multiple task order contract for environmental remediation services for the military munitions response program with a capacity of $250 million, setting its equal share at US$ 25 million. Under the ARCADIS-PIKA JV agreement, ARCADIS will realize 60 percent of the gross revenues for projects awarded to the JV.

U.S. Army Environmental Command names ARCADIS preferred provider to achieve environmental cleanup and remediation
ARCADIS (EURONEXT: ARCAD), the world's leading natural and built asset design and consultancy firm, announced today that the U.S. Army Environmental Command (AEC) has named ARCADIS as one of its preferred providers to help it achieve its environmental cleanup vision by way of two large environmental remediation contracts.

Each contract is a multiple award pool with one contract of US$250 million totaling ten companies including ARCADIS, setting ARCADIS' equal share at US$25 million. The other contract is also US$250 million and has nine companies competing for task orders with ARCADIS working in that one in a joint venture with its mentor protégé partner PIKA, putting the equal share for the joint venture at US$28 million.

ARCADIS has served the AEC for nearly 15 years, executing more than $250 million in performance-based task orders for remediation services in that timeframe. ARCADIS has helped the AEC save both time and money - the AEC realized a 30% cost savings for remediation and reduced environmental project completion schedules by an average of 15 years on past projects with ARCADIS.

"ARCADIS holds a strong position in the environmental market which is bolstered by the Army's confidence in our team to help strike a balance between defense needs and the quality of life for military personnel and their families," said Gary Coates, CEO for ARCADIS U.S. "We are better able to serve the Department of Defense with our multiple office locations and staff mobility, and are proud to serve the DOD in support of its environmental mission."
