Lh&J / Arcadis Joint Venture, L.L.P.

Lh&J / Arcadis Joint Venture, L.L.P. is a for-profit architectural and engineering services partnership registered in SAM.gov as a self-certified small disadvantaged business. Based in Metairie, Louisiana, the joint venture specializes in comprehensive design, planning, technical analysis, and infrastructure solutions for federal agencies, with particular expertise in international projects throughout Central and South America and binational water resources management. The partnership leverages specialized competencies across multiple engineering disciplines to deliver complex civil works, environmental restoration, and enterprise systems implementation services.

The joint venture has secured federal contract awards totaling approximately $3.84 million in definitive and delivery order contracts from two primary federal agencies. The U.S. International Boundary and Water Commission awarded a $3.46 million firm fixed-price definitive contract on January 2, 2024, for the design, development, and implementation of an Enterprise Asset Management system to manage and track assets across USIBWC's portfolio, with performance in El Paso, Texas and completion by June 30, 2025. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers awarded multiple delivery orders under existing indefinite delivery contracts, including a $378,898.75 delivery order issued September 22, 2025, for architect-engineering services supporting Panama Emergency Response Center planning and design for international infrastructure projects, along with two minimum guarantee delivery orders valued at $5,000 and $1,000 respectively, both awarded in July 2024. All contract awards have been made without set-aside designations, reflecting the joint venture's qualifications to compete on an unrestricted basis.

Lh&J / Arcadis Joint Venture holds two substantial Indefinite Delivery Contracts with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers totaling $79 million in ceiling value. The first IDC, a $49 million multiple-award small business set-aside contract awarded July 29, 2024, covers comprehensive architect-engineer services for civil works projects including flood damage and risk reduction, shoreline and stream bank erosion protection, environmental and ecosystem habitat restoration, watershed evaluations, geotechnical analysis, surveys, and operations and maintenance rehabilitation, with performance through July 23, 2029. The second IDC, valued at $30 million and awarded June 27, 2024, supports the USACE South Atlantic Division Mobile District's Interagency and International Services program outside the continental United States, focusing on design, planning, and studies for building renovations, new construction, site and civil design, and technical design-build solicitations, with the majority of work anticipated in Central and South America and performance through June 30, 2029. Both IDCs are small business set-asides and provide flexible, on-demand architectural and engineering support for USACE's complex civil works and international development initiatives, with required in-house or subcontracted expertise spanning architecture, civil, mechanical, electrical, and structural engineering disciplines, along with specialty areas including seismic design, geotechnical, environmental, corrosion, and antiterrorism/force protection.
