AshBritt Inc. in Pompano Beach, FL received a delivery order amount of $500 million as part of a $1 billion firm-fixed-price contract for debris removal site management and debris reduction in Mississippi. Mississippi was hit hard by Hurricane Katrina, though according to The Washington Post, its recovery is progressing much faster than neighbouring Louisiana’s.

Performance locations will be determined with each delivery order, and work is expected to be complete by Sept. 30, 2006. There were 35 bids solicited on March 10, 2006, and 22 bids were received by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers in Vicksburg, MS (W912P8-05-D-0025).
