Mr. Kratzert continued, “Speaking on behalf of the entire EGS team, we look forward to continuing our relationship with the Department of Defense, the Defense Logistics Agency and each of the service components. Given our expanded role, we expect to be performing this work out of both our Tulsa and Denver office locations.”
William A. Coskey, P.E., Chairman and Chief Executive Officer added, “I’m proud to say that, with this award, ENGlobal’s total backlog, which represents an estimate of booked projects that have not been completed, has now increased to $57.2 million.
