WESTON Awarded National Postal Service Contract

VERNON HILLS, IL- April 25, 2001 - Roy F. Weston, Inc. today announced it has been awarded a U.S. Postal Service (USPS) National Environmental Services Contract to provide environmental services at more than 40,000 USPS facilities across the country.

WESTON is one of four contractors that will share in the $180 million contract in the initial four-year base ordering period and provide a broad array of environmental services, including program development, compliance reviews, environmental studies, and training.

"This award gives us the opportunity to leverage our resources and capabilities from the national to the local level to help the Postal Service meet its environmental goals," said WESTON President and Chief Operating Officer Patrick G. McCann.

This is the first time the USPS Environmental Management Policy Group has awarded national environmental contracts in an effort to reduce costs, increase efficiency, and ensure environmental compliance. The four contracts issued by the USPS will replace more than 270 existing contracts and will potentially save the Postal Service $30 million over the next four years.

"We are particularly pleased with this award because it marks our 17th year of continuous successful service to the USPS. We look forward to adding further value and strengthening that long-standing relationship," stated WESTON Contract Manager Jon D. Olander.

WESTON has been providing technical, management and consulting services to USPS since 1984 and environmental services to the USPS Major Facilities Office (MFO) under two consecutive national contracts since 1994.

WESTON is a leading infrastructure redevelopment services firm delivering integrated environmental engineering solutions to industry and government worldwide. With an emphasis on creating lasting economic value for its clients, the company provides services in site remediation, redevelopment, infrastructure operations and knowledge management.
