The Bristol Alliance of Companies, or Bristol, officially formed in 1994, [1] is a portfolio of organizations providing civil and structural engineering, civil and vertical construction, environmental remediation, fuel systems, and range and unexploded ordnance response services throughout the United States, its territories and select international locations. It is a subsidiary group of the Bristol Bay Native Corporation, one of thirteen Alaska Native Regional Corporations created under the Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act of 1971 (ANCSA),[2] and is entirely Alaska Native owned.[3]

Bristol has offices in Wasilla, AK; Denver, CO; Kansas City, MO; Sneads Ferry, NC; San Antonio, TX; and Marysville, WA.

History

Bristol was formed in 1994 with the creation of Bristol Environmental Services Corporation (now known as Bristol Engineering Services Corporation)as a wholly owned subsidiary of Bristol Bay Native Corporation. Designed to include environmental assessment, sampling and baselines, it was the first company that would eventually become part of the Bristol Alliance of Companies. Two years later Bristol expanded to Kirkland, Washington, to expand its services to the Pacific Northwest, effectively marking the company’s first move into the continental United States. The office was moved to Marysville, Washington, in 2000.

In 1997, Bristol entered into environmental remediation through a joint venture with Nugget Construction, Inc., on a contracted project in King Salmon, Alaska. Multiple contracts were awarded in the following years lead to the addition of civil engineering services to Bristol Environmental Services Corporation portfolio of services in 1999, causing the company to be rebranded as Bristol Environmental and Engineering Services Corporation, a title still held today.

After the opening of a new branch in San Antonio, Texas, in 2002, Bristol was awarded multiple construction contracts through clients such as the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers’ Alaska and Seattle districts and the U.S. Department of Navy. The company in 2003 formed Bristol Construction Services, which specializes in large-scale range development and sustainment services, in addition to general construction services. A year later, Bristol Design Build Services was formed in order to accommodate the company’s growing business.

2005 saw the creation of two additional companies within the alliance, with Bristol Fuels Systems formed to provide upgrades and modifications of fuel systems for the U.S. Department of Defense and commercial customers and Bristol Industries formed as an administrative arm to support the Bristol companies in various areas. The following year, the concept of the Bristol Alliance of Companies was officially created to market and support the companies as an integrated organization, defining itself as “a portfolio of organizations whose roles and relationships support growth” and achieve their “enterprise goals.”

The next few years the company saw heavy expansion, opening new offices in North Carolina and Missouri. It also won multiple awards for its work safety record across the country from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers’ Alaska, Charleston, Gulf Region, Savannah and Seattle districts, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the Pacific Air Forces, among others.

The final company in the alliance, Bristol General Contractors, LLC, was formed in 2010. The same year Bristol received three new contracts from the USACE’s Gulf Region and Alaska districts, for remediation services on St. Lawrence Island, Alaska; the investigation of three remote islands in the Alaskan Aleutian Chain; and developing enhancements for storage and fuel delivery systems in Umm Qasr, Iraq, giving the company its most varied set of projects to date. In 2011 and 2012, Bristol opened new offices in Wasilla, Alaska; Denver, Colorado; and Omaha, Nebraska, further defining its presence throughout the United States.
