| Tetra Tech wins sustainable water projects with USAID Pasadena-based environmental and engineering consulting firm Tetra Tech, Inc. announced that it has been awarded two new task orders to lead sustainable water projects in rural Afghanistan and sub-Saharan Africa. The task orders will be executed under a U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) Water IQC II contract held by ARD, Inc., a Tetra Tech company. The combined ceiling values of these two task orders, including option years, is more than $69 million. USAID has obligated about $20 million worth of funding for these efforts to date.

The four-year, $17.7 million Sustainable Water & Sanitation in Africa (SUWASA) project seeks to strengthen governance systems and foster reform in water and sanitation utilities in sub-Saharan Africa. write your comments about the article :: © 2009 Construction News :: home page |
