HanmiGlobal's U.S. subsidiary OTAK, a global construction project management (PM) corporations, said on the 19th it signed a contract to win a socioeconomic research service ordered by the National Park Service (NPS) under the U.S. Department of the Interior.
The contract totals $30 million over the next five years (about 45 billion won). Through this contract, OTAK will provide consulting and research for socioeconomic survey activities ordered by the National Park Service over the next five years. Key tasks include: ▲ social survey research on national park visitors and park management personnel ▲ resource value assessment and analysis ▲ analysis of regional economic ripple effects and benefits related to park development ▲ traffic impact assessment ▲ regulatory and environmental impact analysis. Through this, OTAK will support the National Park Service with basic data and analytical results needed for park operations and policy making.
This contract is an additional award following OTAK's April contract for a $400 million nationwide procurement for national park infrastructure improvement and maintenance engineering services ordered by the National Park Service. By winning a service contract in the socioeconomic research field following design and engineering for national parks, OTAK has demonstrated its business competitiveness in the U.S. public market.
OTAK, acquired by HanmiGlobal in 2011, has carried out a variety of public projects for the U.S. government and has maintained a long-term cooperative relationship with the National Park Service.
