3005 Atkins has secured a new US$7.5 million two-year contract to provide statewide construction management (CM) services to the 5295 Oklahoma Department of Transportation (ODOT).

The contract will see Atkins continue to manage statewide construction projects for ODOT, as it has done since 2009. As part of its previous CM contracts, Atkins oversaw construction efforts for several bridges, as well as for urban projects in four ODOT field divisions.

Atkins also managed stimulus-funded projects for roadway rehabilitation, ADA upgrades and safety improvements, laying fibre-optic cable, installing more than 400 new LED traffic-signal heads, and upgrading street lights by installing more than 100 new decorative roadway luminaries.

“It’s an honour to be chosen by ODOT for our third consecutive two-year contract,” said Jim Hunt, Atkins’ Oklahoma district project director. “Winning this important contract reflects the confidence and trust our personnel have established through their dedication to quality and hard work with ODOT over the past four years.”

In addition to the CM work Atkins provides ODOT, the company is working on a utility-relocation coordination contract in support of ODOT’s eight-year plan to improve highways and bridges statewide.

Its multiple contracts are said to have enabled Atkins to expand its office in Norman, Oklahoma; and the company is now planning to open an office in Tulsa.
