- US Army Corps of Engineers, Louisville District, Multiple Award Remediation Contract (MARC) valued at $100 million, distributed among five small businesses as Set-Asides
- US Army Corps of Engineers, Tulsa District, Multiple Award Task Order Contract (MATOC), valued at $42 million, competed among three firms in the 8(a) small business pool
MKM Vice-President of Federal Programs, Don Brenneman, said, "These are the most significant wins in our corporate history. Contract work can range from Hazardous, Toxic and Radioactive Waste (HTRW) to remedial construction services in all 10 states."
"The Corps noted in its award letter that quality, cost and time are the three critical performance aspects, with safety paramount. We intend to deliver outstanding performance throughout the life of these contracts."
Brenneman was formerly a VP at Halliburton Kellogg Brown & Root (KBR), Tetra Tech, and NUS, all major US engineering firms. Brenneman also won the first U.S. Navy and Department of Energy (DOE) contracts for MKM.
Other MKM contracts include those with the Department of Homeland Security (U.S. Coast Guard), Defense Reutilization Marketing Services (DRMS), Defense Logistics Agency (DLA), EPA, and others.
MKM's initial Aug. 23 MARC award was part of a $100,000,000 Department of Defense (DoD) contract for remediation services. Performance is expected to be completed by Aug. 23, 2014 within the boundaries of the Louisville District (KY, IN, IL, OH, MI).
The Tulsa MATOC will be performed within its own boundaries (TX, OK, LA, AR, NM).
MKM President Khodi Irani said, "Since 2000, MKM Engineers has grown over 300%. Our revenues for FY 2003 were $42 million. We are poised to reach $48 million revenues by the close of 2004. We are enhancing our safety and QA programs. They will help ensure success in all our contract executions."
The US Army Joint Munitions Command (JMC), Rock Island Arsenal HQ, tapped MKM to serve in its worldwide rapid response Army Contaminated Equipment Retrograde Team (ACERT) program. JMC deployed MKM to Kuwait to clean up depleted uranium.
As part of Operation Enduring Freedom, MKM was invited by the Army Bomb Damage Assessment Team to review war damage in Iraq. Also, DOE BWXT Pantex recently awarded MKM an additional contract to perform work at its nuclear weapons assembly and disassembly plant in Amarillo, TX.
MKM was contracted by US Army JMC to provide turnkey sampling, characterization, and profiling, brokering, transportation and disposal services for the former McClellan AFB CS10 project, which was the US Air Force's largest low level radiological waste (LLRW) disposal project.
As a subcontractor to EG&G, a division of URS, MKM participated in the largest seizure in Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms (BATF) history of 4.2 million pounds of explosives stored illegally in a Kansas warehouse as well as the FBI/BATF seizure of over 2,500 missiles in Roswell, NM.
