WESTON Wins SEPTA Rebid for Infrastructure Support Services

West Chester, PA - February 8, 2000 - Roy F. Weston, Inc., a leading infrastructure redevelopment firm, today announced the award of a new 3-year contract by the Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority (SEPTA) in support of SEPTA's infrastructure improvement and expansion program.

"SEPTA has embarked on a billion dollar upgrade and expansion program that will benchmark mass transit systems throughout the country, and we are excited that WESTON is an integral part of that program," said William L. Robertson, WESTON's Chief Executive Officer.

These services will include site assessments and investigations, asbestos and lead paint surveys, technology evaluations and remedial design, engineering and construction.

The company was awarded a similar TES contract 4 years ago and has been working at active SEPTA facilities throughout the Philadelphia Metro area. "We have earned SEPTA's confidence by performing high-quality work and returning to them sizable cost savings," said Vic Velez, WESTON Project Manager.
