ICF Incorporated, LLC, a subsidiary of ICF International (NASDAQ:ICFI), announced that it won a new contract with the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) Office of Air and Radiation (OAR).
The five-year indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity (IDIQ) agreement, which begins January 2009, has a ceiling of $11.3 million.
Under the contract, ICF will support EPA’s efforts to help state and local governments develop and implement clean energy and climate change policies. ICF will provide direct technical assistance to EPA and state and local governments; conducting analyses, studies, and evaluations of clean energy technologies on air quality, climate change, and human health; developing guidance and tools based on the outcome of these investigations; and providing meeting, workshop, and other communications support.
In supporting EPA, ICF will draw on experience gained from working with the three major regional climate initiatives underway in the U.S.: the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative, the Western Climate Initiative, and the Midwestern Greenhouse Gas Reduction Accord.
“We are likely to see major changes in the climate policy landscape over the next five years,” states Anne Choate, ICF vice president and program manager. “Over 30 states have already developed climate action plans, with more underway. Not surprisingly, clean energy strategies form the core of all of these plans. We are excited to be involved on the ground level of these initiatives.”
