WIESBADEN, Germany (Dec. 3, 2024) — The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Europe District has selected the joint venture of Woolpert and Black & Veatch to provide architecture, engineering, master planning, and design services under a five-year, $94.5 million contract. The contract supports military installations and projects throughout 30 European countries.

The contract, expected to be completed in September 2029, will include preparing installation and facility master plans for military infrastructure, preparing related concept designs, completing designs, and supporting documentation in support of military and other facilities.

This is Woolpert and Black & Veatch’s second-straight selection for this shared capacity, indefinite delivery, indefinite quantity contract, which was previously awarded in 2019.

“This is a critical contract win and represents the continued trust that USACE Europe has put in our Woolpert-Black & Veatch team to complete high-profile and complex planning projects across the European theater,” said Rick Kaiser, a retired U.S. Army major general who leads Black & Veatch’s federal client segment and mission-critical solutions. “We look forward to continuing our partnership with USACE and its clients to solve the most challenging facility and infrastructure needs in support of the warfighter.”
