BROOKS AIR FORCE BASE, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 30, 2001

Pacific Environmental Services, Inc. (PES), a MACTEC Company, is an awardee under a five-year contract with a Program Ceiling of $250 million, awarded by the Air Force Institute of Environment, Safety, and Occupational Health Risk Analysis (AFIERA) at Brooks Air Force Base, Texas.

Under the contract, PES and the MACTEC Family of Companies will provide comprehensive, environmental engineering and occupational health and safety support to AFIERA for its Worldwide Environment, Safety and Occupational Health (ESOH) AE and DoD Mission Support. Applicable contracted services include support in ten areas: drinking water, wastewater, hazardous waste, air quality, pollution prevention, risk assessment, restoration, industrial hygiene, ergonomics, and radiation/health physics.

"We are extremely pleased to have been selected to continue and to expand our successful partnership with AFIERA and the Air Force," said PES' Program Manager Paul D. Koch. "We have demonstrated our performance and our commitment to AFIERA and to our mutual customers in our two previous contracts, spanning the past 12 years. We believe our selection reflects not only AFIERA's confidence in our ability to perform, but also the professional working relationships we have developed with AFIERA and our Air Force customers," Koch added. "We now intend to aggressively expand our opportunities and services worldwide, by capitalizing on the added capabilities provided by our sister companies in the MACTEC family -- Harding ESE and MACTEC Constructors."

PES is a national environmental engineering, industrial hygiene, and computer consulting firm, with a 30-year record in providing services for industrial, commercial, and government clients. MACTEC, headquartered in Golden, Colorado, acquired PES in May 2000, making PES a wholly owned subsidiary of MACTEC. With more than 2,400 employees located in 70 offices nationwide and annual revenues of $325 million, MACTEC, together with its subsidiaries, ranked fourth in the nation's top `All-Environmental Firms,' as reported in the June 2001 issue of Engineering News-Record.

PES has formed a strong team of subcontractors to meet the challenges of providing worldwide coverage and expanded engineering, remediation, and occupational safety and health capabilities. URS, through its experience and reputation with Air Force facilities in CONUS, Europe and the Pacific, adds important remedial-action capabilities, worldwide reach, and unparalleled staff depth and breadth to the PES Team. Rounding out the PES Team are: Humantech, a small business that specializes in ergonomics; Radiological Physics and Associates, a small business providing radiological testing and monitoring; and two laboratories -- EMAX, a California-based SDB/WOB firm, and Analytics, a Virginia-based small business.
