NV5 Awarded $13 Million in Geospatial Contracts to Support California Wildfire Mitigation

HOLLYWOOD, Fla. – NV5 Global, Inc. (the “Company” or “NV5”) (Nasdaq: NVEE), a provider of technology, conformity assessment, and consulting solutions, announced today that it has been awarded two contracts by the University of California (UCSD) and the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) totaling $13 million to support wildfire studies and mitigation efforts in California.

“The frequency and severity of wildfires in the West continues to grow, and NV5 is the industry leader in geospatial and engineering services to support wildfire mitigation efforts for utilities, government entities, and wildfire response programs,” said Dickerson Wright, PE, Chairman and CEO of NV5. “NV5’s geospatial topographical analysis, vegetation management, power line undergrounding design, and fire hardening design services provide invaluable tools in our clients’ efforts to reduce the number of wildfires and minimize their impacts.”

UCSD selected NV5 for a $6 million contract to acquire topographic lidar and multi-spectral imagery covering 13,269 square miles of the North Sierra Mountain Range. This is the first of a three-phase program envisioned by UCSD in support of its ALERTWildfire Program providing geospatial data that will be used to address significant fire threats throughout the state of California.

USGS awarded NV5 a two-year, $7 million contract to acquire and process 16,851 square miles of topographic lidar data in California’s South Sierra Mountain Range in support of the USGS 3D Elevation Program (3DEP). This multi-agency funding partnership includes UCSD, the United States Forest Service (USFS), the National Resources and Conservation Service (NRCS), and the California Natural Resources Agency (CNRA). Geospatial data from the program will support a variety of applications with a primary focus on providing highly accurate topographic data critical to wildfire studies.
