Jacobs Wins Department of Defense Facilities Contract


DALLAS, Oct. 13, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Jacobs (NYSE:J) was awarded a contract for planning and engineering services by the U.S. Army's Engineer Research and Development Center (ERDC) to integrate Engineering With Nature (EWN) approaches within Department of Defense (DoD) facilities. 

Under the terms of the three-year contract, Jacobs will collaborate with ERDC's EWN program leadership and their strategic partners to achieve three primary objectives: engage the DoD facilities community on nature-based solutions for resilience; develop an EWN roadmap for DoD; and create technical guides for application of nature-based solutions for DoD facilities.

"Changing climate patterns and extreme weather events can have long-term impacts to mission assurance for our military," said Jacobs Federal & Environmental Solutions Senior Vice President and General Manager Tim Byers. "Integrating EWN principles into future DoD infrastructure projects results in more resilient and sustainable solutions that also deliver economic, social and environmental benefits while meeting military mission requirements."
