 "We are proud to have successfully competed for this new contract," said  Patrick Lamarre, Executive Vice-President, SNC-Lavalin Group Inc., "and  we are pleased to have been able to demonstrate value for money through  our proposal. This further demonstrates that we have a competitive  value proposition for all of our transmission and distribution clients  and further strengthens our track record of delivery." 

 The contract is to deliver EPC for transmission lines and substations  over a five-year period based on project need assessments and  permitting.
