FAIRFAX, Va.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jul. 3, 2012-- ICF International (NASDAQ:ICFI), a leading provider of consulting services and technology solutions to government and commercial clients, has been awarded a re-compete contract by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to provide technical support for program initiatives under the Clean Air Act. The contract has a value of $12 million and a term of 1 base year and 4 option years.
Under this contract, ICF will support EPA’s Office of Air Quality Planning and Standards (OAQPS) across a range of activities, including risk assessment for exposure to chemical mixtures; environmental and exposure model development and application; multimedia risk assessment; characterizing and reducing uncertainty in risk/exposure assessment; and identification of pollutant sources and emissions. The company will also support the preparation of reports to Congress and other documents; handle risk communication; and support workshops, all focused on air pollutants. This contract primarily supports the Health and Environmental Impacts Division of OAQPS, which has broad responsibilities for risk assessment and other scientific and technical analyses related to protection of public health.
“We are proud that EPA continues to entrust us to support their air programs,” said Mark Lee, vice president for ICF International. “For more than 15 years, ICF has played an integral role in developing risk assessment methods for OAQPS and conducting technical evaluations of air pollutants. This award reaffirms our position as a leader in providing EPA with technical risk assessment support for the Agency's air toxics and criteria air pollutant programs.”
ICF has worked with OAQPS since 1996. ICF has supported this office in developing risk assessment methods for hazardous air pollutants and implementing those methods in conducting residual risk assessments of numerous source categories, conducting exposure and risk assessments for all six criteria air pollutants in support of EPA’s reviews of National Ambient Air Quality Standards, developing assessment methods and providing modeling support for EPA’s National-scale Air Toxics Assessment (NATA), assisting EPA in the development of several reports to Congress, and supporting EPA’s public outreach programs and health communications initiatives.
