Our DoD clients include: • U.S. Navy • U.S. Marine Corps • U.S. Air Force • National Guard • U.S. Army Corps of Engineers • U.S. Army ReservesSEARCH’s high level of service has resulted in the award and re-award of DoD IDIQ contracts with: • Naval Facilities Engineering Command, Atlantic Division (NAVFAC LANT) • Naval Facilities Engineering Command, Southeast Division (NAVFAC SE) • Florida Army National Guard (FLARNG)As a subcontractor, SEARCH has worked for the DoD with CH2M HILL, Kellogg Brown & Root (KBR), Ellis Environmental Group, LC, J2 Engineering, Inc. and many other firms. Our rates and accounting practices have been approved by the Defense Contract Audit Agency (DCAA) and we maintain International Liability and Defense Base Act insurance coverage in order to respond rapidly to requests for worldwide deployment. Our staff includes U.S. Army and U.S. Navy veterans and we are trained in UXO, HAZWOPER, and First Aid/CPR. On military facilities, adherence to installation regulations is our highest priority, and we are trained to comply with heightened perimeter, travel, communication, and safety protocol. SEARCH staff has received security clearances to work on the world’s most secure facilities including Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, and we have worked in combat theatre with the Combined Joint Task Force in the Horn of Africa at Camp Lemonier Djibouti. SEARCH is adept at integrating cultural resource management with the military mission. U.S. Army Corps of Engineers
SEARCH has conducted multiple large-scale survey, assessment, mitigation, and maritime projects for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) as well as numerous projects that were permitted through the USACE. SEARCH personnel have extensive USACE experience working for the following Districts: • Baltimore • Ft. Worth • Galveston • Huntsville • Jacksonville • Memphis • Mobile • New Orleans • New York • Norfolk • Savannah • Vicksburg • WilmingtonSEARCH is uniquely poised to provide the full range of cultural resource services to the USACE. The USACE benefits from SEARCH’s understanding of complex engineering projects, as well as our in-house capacity to respond to multiple delivery orders, natural disaster-related requests, and emergency discovery situations. SEARCH’s commitment to provide world-class service to the USACE is evidenced by our Maritime staff that meets or exceeds the USACE requirements for Contract Diving Operations contained in Section 30 of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers “Safety and Health Requirements Manual”, EM 385-1-1. Transportation
SEARCH is a recognized leader in the transportation sector as evidenced by the award and re-award of eight Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) multi-year general service cultural resource contracts with: • District 1 (Southwest Florida) • District 2 (Northeast Florida) • District 3 (Northwest Florida) • District 4 (Southeast Florida) • District 5 (Central Florida) SEARCH is well versed in the laws, regulations, and procedures governing transportation projects. As the largest full-service CRM firm in Florida we have the capacity to conduct large-scale DOT projects according to schedule requirements.

Energy Sector
 
SEARCH provides the full suite of terrestrial and underwater cultural resource services to the energy industry. SEARCH’s high level of service has resulted in our firm being awarded eight major energy pipeline projects, and over 500 work orders across six states in the Southeastern and Northeastern United States. We are members of the Southern Gas Association (SGA). We have conducted multiple maritime remote sensing and ride-along surveys as well as post-hurricane pipeline inspection and marine hazard analysis surveys. SEARCH has consistently met Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) filing deadlines and our documentation (Resource Report 4) is routinely accepted by the State Historic Preservation Officers (SHPOs) without revision.
With energy, and all of our projects, we have pioneered the use of creative research alternatives to archaeological excavations that are more cost effective and allow for a wider distribution of scientific research. We also have spearheaded agency agreement documents that streamline the pipeline construction process. Our staff has the proven capability to meet aggressive filing deadlines while upholding the highest industry standards. We have the flexibility to respond to multiple project revisions. SEARCH’s successful performance on complex energy projects was a contributing factor to Florida Gas Transmission Company selecting SEARCH for four successive major inter- and intrastate pipeline expansion projects across the Southeast from 1995 to 2007.Land Development Industry
 
SEARCH provides developers, engineering firms, and mining companies with the services and documentation required for permitting through local, state, and federal agencies, or as part of the due diligence process. Private development projects often encounter a wide variety of cultural resources such as historical road segments, canals, work camps, homesteads, and historic cemeteries, as well as archaeological sites. SEARCH’s comprehensive approach ensures that cultural resources are identified early in the process, and our experienced staff is adept at making reasoned assessments.
SEARCH offers:
• Established relationships with State and Federal agencies.
• Excellent industry reputation for response and confidentiality.
• Depth of staff to meet aggressive deadlines.
• Added value to projects through cultural resource
public interpretation.
• Multiple Ph.D.s that are court-certified as expert witnesses.
As a result of SEARCH’s own design/build construction project for our Jonesville (Gainesville) Florida facility, and our renovation of a historic warehouse for our Orlando facility, we have an industry-unique, real-world perspective on permitting requirements, historic preservation, adaptive reuse, and demolition. SEARCH has successfully completed all varieties of land development projects, from complex developments covering thousands of acres to smaller, single building projects. Our high rate of repeat business and word-of-mouth referrals is testimony to our high level of service within the development industry.Regional ExpertiseFlorida
