MADISON, Wisc., Oct. 4, 2018 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Berntsen International Inc. has been awarded a five-year, $5 million contract by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) to provide the survey monuments used to mark the nation's boundaries. An agency of the US Department of the Interior, the BLM administers more than 247 million acres of public lands.
"This is great news for our company. We're proud that the federal government has recognized Berntsen as the preferred provider of monuments used to mark America's boundaries," said Mike Klonsinski, president of Berntsen International.
The BLM bid criteria emphasized the need for quality and proven customer service. Berntsen's premium survey monuments are the standard in the industry thanks to its unique orbital forged manufacturing process. That manufacturing excellence and the company's reputation for superior customer support earned the award.
