The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, through its ENDIST Tulsa office, awarded a $437,022.35 firm fixed-price delivery order to Schnabel-HDR Joint Venture for a Safety Assurance Review Project at Whittier Narrows Dam in California. The delivery order was issued on June 30, 2025, with an ultimate completion date of July 17, 2030, and carries no set-aside designation. The Schnabel-HDR Joint Venture is a strategic partnership between Schnabel Engineering and HDR, Inc., specializing in architectural and engineering services focused on infrastructure safety, risk management, and flood control. This award is issued under the joint venture's larger $60 million Architect Engineer Services for the Risk Management Center indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity contract with the Corps of Engineers, which provides the agency rapid access to specialized engineering expertise for dam safety evaluations and natural hazard risk mitigation.

The Safety Assurance Review Project represents continued support for the Corps' civil works mission to enhance critical infrastructure resilience and safety. Schnabel-HDR Joint Venture has demonstrated consistent competitiveness in the open market across multiple federal contract awards, with a primary focus on dam safety analysis, risk assessments, and technical review processes. The joint venture typically assembles comprehensive technical teams for complex projects, leveraging subcontractors with specialized expertise such as HR Wallingford Inc. for levee safety advisory services. The work will be performed from the contractor's location in Chadds Ford, Pennsylvania, and is expected to extend through mid-2030, supporting the Corps' ongoing efforts to assess and manage risks associated with federal dam infrastructure.
