Aecom’s joint venture selected by the City of Norfolk

AECOM announced the City of Norfolk, Virginia has selected its joint venture with Moffatt & Nichol and Volkert to provide program and project management services in support of Norfolk’s $2.6B Coastal Storm Risk Management, or CSRM, Program. AECOM will serve as managing partner of the Norfolk Resilience Partners JV, which assembles a deep bench of subject matter experts to support a team of local, highly dedicated and committed professionals to bolster Norfolk’s role as the Local Sponsor for this program. As an initiative of the Army Corps of Engineers, or USACE, the program aims to increase the City’s infrastructure resiliency, protecting it from coastal flooding and mitigating damage from significant storm events. Under the single-award contract, Norfolk Resilience Partners will deliver comprehensive services, including program and project management, engineering and design, real estate services, public engagement, utility coordination, environmental and cultural resources evaluations and compliance, grant management and more. The project will be divided into five implementation phases: four phases associated with four watershed areas and the fifth phase to provide Non-Structural solutions across the City, such as home elevations, basement fills, and floodproofing.
