Management Engineering Associates in Camas last week learned it’s on the list of contractors selected to receive recovery act contracts to retrofit federal buildings with energy efficiency improvements.
The U.S. General Services Administration will sign the contract with a consortium of engineering firms that also includes Geo-Marine Inc. in Plano, Texas, Burns and Roe in Oradell, N.J., and George Butler Associates in Lenaxa, Kan. The agency has earmarked $5.5 billion total in stimulus money for energy efficiency measures in federal buildings.
Under the blanket purchase agreement, the firms will be tasked with converting existing federal facilities throughout the U.S., including office buildings, courthouses, laboratories and warehouses, to high-performing green buildings.
The Camas company expects to provide about $1 million in electrical and mechanical engineering services under the contract in the next few years in Washington, Oregon, Idaho and Alaska, said Bill Ward, owner of Management Engineering Associates and a Port of Camas commissioner.
