Los Angeles County awards water infrastructure services contract

Los Angeles County Department of Public Works has awarded a multimillion dollar contract to ICF, a global consulting and digital services provider, to deliver on-call environmental compliance, mitigation and community outreach.

These services are intended to support a wide range of water infrastructure projects.

The contract, awarded by the department’s Water Resources Branch, is for four years, which includes one three-year base and a one-year option.

ICF senior vice president David Freytag said: “Water is a precious commodity in drought-prone states like California and it is vitally important that we protect the storage and distribution of this valuable resource.

“ICF is excited to work with Los Angeles County to maintain and improve its water infrastructure to ensure the safety, reliability and availability of water to the citizens of this growing region.”

Under this contract, ICF will offer water resources support throughout the service area in the county, including projects and facilities in the Los Angeles River, and watersheds in the southern part of California.

This support will include environmental, biological and cultural services for different  projects to address water resources, watershed management, water quality, supply, conservation and flood control.

With more than 5,000 experts, ICF has supported some of the most important water projects in California in the last three decades. Among the projects include operational improvements to the California State Water Project and Central Valley Project.

It also has offered on-call environmental services to major water and infrastructure agencies across the state.
