Definitive Contract INS09PC00099

Stantec Consulting Services Inc., a Canadian-headquartered global design and consulting firm, was awarded a $18,225 definitive contract on July 23, 2009, by the Office of Surface Mining Reclamation and Enforcement (OSMRE) for hollow fill survey services at Kinzer Drilling in Belle Vernon, Pennsylvania. The firm-fixed-price contract, which required completion by July 2, 2010, was awarded without set-aside designation through competitive procurement. OSMRE, a bureau within the U.S. Department of Interior, oversees the regulation and reclamation of coal mining operations, making this survey work integral to site assessment and remediation activities related to mining reclamation efforts.

As a subsidiary of Stantec Incorporated, the awardee brings extensive experience in geotechnical investigations, site assessments, and specialized drilling services typically delivered to federal agencies including the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. Stantec Consulting Services Inc. frequently partners with specialized subcontractors to enhance service capabilities on complex infrastructure and environmental projects. The relatively modest contract value reflects the specific, focused nature of the hollow fill survey task, which likely involved geotechnical assessment work to characterize subsurface conditions at the mining-related site.
