AMSTERDAM, October 12 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- ARCADIS (EURONEXT:
ARCAD), the international design, consulting, engineering and management
services company, today announced that it has been selected by the U.S. Air
Force as one of the prime contractors for the $3 billion Worldwide

program ARCADIS is allowed to compete for task orders with a select number of
competitors.
The program, administered through the Air Force Center for Engineering

cleanup at Department of Defense sites, mostly Air Force bases, around the
world.
As a WERC09 contractor, ARCADIS will perform a range of environmental
services, including concept development, remediation plans, site cleanup,
repair and construction, with the objective of meeting technical and
regulatory requirements. The contract also allows for restoration services in
support of the Military Munitions Response Program.
"This is the first program of this size from the U.S. Air Force for which
ARCADIS has been selected as a prime contractor. In that position we will be
able to leverage our global resources and capabilities to effectively compete
for task orders. Our global footprint, our full range of services and our
proven ability to handle the most demanding and challenging remediation tasks
will allow us to win major projects under this important program", said Steve
Blake, CEO of the U.S. activities of ARCADIS.
ARCADIS is one of the premiere remediation specialists selected for the
WERC09 full and open contract, from dozens of bidders. The performance period
for the remediation projects is five years for basic services ordering, with
