SAN FRANCISCO, CA--(Marketwire - May 5, 2008) - Locus Technologies (Locus), the industry
leader in specialty environmental services and web-based environmental
software, has been selected by the Los Angeles Board of Harbor
Commissioners to perform environmental site assessment, soil and
groundwater investigation and cleanup, environmental compliance assessment
and environmental information management services for The Port of Los
Angeles. The agreement with Locus is valued at $1,890,000 for a 3-year
period.
Mr. Paul Parmentier, Locus' Southern California regional manager, will be
project manager for the Port of Los Angeles project. The contract further
consolidates Locus' presence in the rapidly expanding and fiercely
competitive California transportation market. Locus is happy to be one of
the Port's principal environmental partners. The Port of Los Angeles, a
premier US gateway for international trade and commerce, is located in San
Pedro Bay, just 20 miles south of downtown Los Angeles. This booming
seaport is not only considered the busiest port in the US with its
record-setting cargo operations, but is also known for its groundbreaking
environmental initiatives and progressive security measures. The Port
encompasses 7500 acres, 43 miles of waterfront and features 27 cargo
terminals, including dry and liquid bulk, container, breakbulk, and
automobile and omni facilities.
The Port project will be supported by Locus' cutting-edge flagship
environmental management software products ePortal, a web-based platform
that runs key environmental data management applications. Locus' ePortal
leverages Web 2.0 technologies such as Service Oriented Architecture (SOA),
mashups and vertical searches. It also stores and organizes all of the
customer's environmental data and information. Locus is the only
environmental services organization able to offer such powerful data
management and organization capabilities to its clients.
"Locus is pleased to support the massive operations at The Port of Los
Angeles with our unique blend of environmental consulting and management.
This project is an example of the specialized consulting and advanced
information management services Locus provides our clientele that result in
faster and less expensive remedy selection, implementation, and ultimate
site closure," said Mr. Parmantier, Locus' Southern California Regional
Manager for Locus Technologies.
"We are very pleased to add another Port client on the list of
transportation companies that Locus has served since its inception. Our
expertise for environmental liability management, coupled with the
state-of-the art technology for environmental management was the winning
combination that resulted in the Port of Los Angeles choosing our company,"
added Mr. Neno Duplancic, President and CEO of Locus.
