The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers in Fort Leavenworth has awarded a $30 million contract to a joint venture between a Blue Springs environmental services company and a California operation. Genesis Environmental Solutions Inc. and MW Services Inc., based in Temecula, Calif., signed a contract for the job order, which lasts five years.

Genesis was awarded $400,000 contract to provide remediation of lead contaminated soil at multiple single family home sites in downtown Kansas City. This project is partially funded by a grant from the Missouri Housing and Development Commission and in cooperation with the Missouri Department of Natural Resources.

The Missouri Department of Transportation (MODOT) awarded the contract to KTU Constructors and their subcontractor IPC. IPC chooses Genesis to provide high performance coatings on over 500 Bridges. Valued at nearly $1,000,000, Genesis is contracted to apply Epoxy coatings to various bridge beams on each bridge produced at IPC’s Precast manufacturing facilities.

From one employee, one desk, part of an office and minimal equipment, GES has mushroomed in seven years. Today the company's expandable 16,000 square-foot Blue Springs-based headquarters has more than 20 employees and three acres to accommodate a work shed and the growing legion of vehicles and heavy equipment required to tackle the customers' needs.
