Columbus, Ohio (Feb. 14, 2022)Woolpert was selected by the Ohio Department of Transportation for a two-year, $1.5 million general engineering services contract to support District 6-Delaware and District 9-Chilicothe.

“We are a service-based company, and we are fortunate to have the tools, staff and partnerships to address the multifaceted needs of state departments of transportation across the country,” Avellano said. “We are honored to have a long history of supporting ODOT, here in our home state of Ohio, and our team is excited to bring its broad palate of services to districts 6 and 9 under this contract.”
