Engineering consultant 4983 Parsons Brinckerhoff has secured a nine-year contract with Somerset County Council in the UK to provide engineering consultancy services.

Anticipated activity under the framework contract will cover a diverse range of services, including: transportation studies; design of transport improvement and maintenance schemes; environmental planning and consultancy; highways safety studies; structures inspections; and construction management.

The contract has been drafted to enable other local authorities in the South West Highway Alliance including Devon, Dorset, Plymouth, Torbay and others to procure services through a collaboration agreement.

The company is also helping the council to bid for critical infrastructure improvements such as an upgrade to junction 25 of the M5 and also providing the capacity for the council to deliver an ambitious programme of smaller transport schemes across the county.

Mike D’Alton, Parsons Brinckerhoff’s UK director of highways, transportation and asset management, said: “We are delighted to have secured this contract, building upon the current relationships developed through our previous commission with Somerset County Council. Our local delivery model has made sure we can provide a responsive, agile service to meet every need of the Council. We look forward to working alongside all the local authorities in delivering their highway and transportation schemes.”
