June 2, 2008 Dear Valued Client: Subject: AECOM Water Earlier this year we announced that Boyle Engineering Corporation was acquired by AECOM. As we become more integrated within the AECOM family, we are looking for ways to better serve our clients, To that effort, we are pleased to announce that Boyle Engineering Corporation is combining forces with one of our AECOM sister companies, Metcalf & Eddy (M&E) to form AECOM Water, Our combined organization will provide you with a more comprehensive suite of services, In addition to adding technical and management depth in water resources, water, and waste water treatment capabilities, M&E greatly enhances our ability to offer asset management, program management, construction management, wet weather, environmental management, design build, energy conservation and reuse, sustainability, and sE!rvices related to global climate change, We will continue to provide you with the dedicated people and high-quality service level you've come to expect but we've also enhanced the services to our clients with a combined staff of 1,800 engineering, scientist, and support personnel in locations throughout the U,S, With Boyle and Metcalf & Eddy as one new company, we provide deeper resources for water treatment from reservoirs to distribution and for wastewater from the point of entry to the sewer system, to the point of discharge. As a stronger team, we can now analyze watersheds from a total, holistic standpoint, in addition to pinpointing specific water, wastewater, and wet weather issues, For now, we will continue to contract with you as Boyle Engineering Corporation, As we begin to merge operations with Metcalf & Eddy and add additional companies over time, we anticipate establishing AECOM Water as a legal corporation you would contract with, Becoming AECOM Water will allow us to operate as a fully integrated organization able to serve all of your water related needs with the simplest organization possible, This will also allow for development of a smooth path for integrating future firms into the AECOM Water family, We truly appreciate the confidence and trust you have developed with Boyle and look forward to serving you to an even greater degree than in the past. Yours Sincerely ~ 7)))r Salvatore D'Angelo, PE Regional Vice President Boyle Engineering Corporation
