MACTEC ISSUED $9.5 MILLION CONTRACT FOR U.S. POSTAL SERVICE PROJECTS

PLYMOUTH MEETING, PA, June 1, 2009 -- MACTEC has been awarded a $9.5 million task order contract to provide environmental engineering services in Pennsylvania for the United States Postal Service (USPS). The award is one of several contracts that MACTEC performs for USPS throughout the U.S. Allen Kibler, President of MACTEC Engineering and Consulting, Inc., made the announcement.

According to MACTEC Project Manager Daniel Guest, P.E., the initial contract is for one year with four one-year extensions.

"We have assembled an experienced team of engineers, geologists and scientists along with subcontractors and suppliers and will be able to provide a complete package to USPS that will function as an extension of USPS staff during project execution," said Guest.

MACTEC is also assisting the USPS with permitting services and recently determined that 108 of 334 USPS vehicle maintenance facilities nationwide were exempt from permitting. USPS estimates this will result in up to $880,000 in long-term savings. MACTEC is also performing audits of USPS facilities in support of sustainability and energy conservation measures.
