Page 2 of 18 PART I PROSPECTUS ---------- 795,300 Shares URS CORPORATION Common Stock This Prospectus relates to the possible resale by certain Selling Stockholders (as defined below) from time-to-time of 795,300 shares of the Common Stock, par value $.01 per share (the "Shares"), of URS Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), issued upon the exercise of Restricted Shares, Stock Units and Options (as those terms are defined in the Plan, below) granted under the URS Corporation 1991 Stock Incentive Plan, as amended (the "Plan"). The Shares are listed on the New York and Pacific Stock Exchanges under the symbol "URS". The holders of Shares that may be resold pursuant to this Prospectus are collectively referred to herein as the "Selling Stockholders". If resold, the Shares would be offered for the respective accounts of the Selling Stockholders. Any or all of the Selling Stockholders may be deemed to be affiliates of the Company at the time such shares are offered or sold by them. See "Selling Stockholders". The Company anticipates that if and to the extent any of the Selling Stockholders elect to resell any of the Shares, such Shares would be offered and sold by the Selling Stockholders in ordinary market transactions, in sales pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), or otherwise, either at the then current market prices or in private transactions at such prices as may be obtainable. The Selling Stockholders might be deemed to be "underwriters" within the meaning of the Securities Act, in which event any discounts, concessions or commissions received by them, which are not expected to exceed those customary in the types of transactions involved or any profit on resales of the Shares by them, may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act. The Company will receive none of the proceeds from any sales of Shares by the Selling Stockholders. -------------------- Prospective investors should review and consider carefully the discussion under "Risk Factors". -------------------- No underwriter is being utilized in connection with this offering. The costs of registering the Shares under the Securities Act were borne by the Company. -------------------- THESE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN APPROVED OR DISAPPROVED BY THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION NOR HAS THE COMMISSION PASSED UPON THE ACCURACY OR ADEQUACY OF THIS PROSPECTUS. ANY REPRESENTATION TO THE CONTRARY IS A CRIMINAL OFFENSE.

Copies of the above documents (other than exhibits) may be obtained without charge upon written or oral request directed to the Stockholder Relations Department at the Company's principal executive offices at 100 California Street, Suite 500, San Francisco, California, 94111-4529, telephone (415) 774-2700. THE COMPANY The Company is a Delaware corporation originally incorporated in 1957. From November 1987 until February 21, 1990, the Company was known as "Thortec International, Inc." Its principal offices are located at 100 California Street, Suite 500, San Francisco, California 94111-4529 and its telephone number is (415) 774-2700. The Company offers a broad range of planning, design and program and construction management services to the engineering and architectural services industry. The Company serves public and private sector clients nationwide in two principal markets: infrastructure projects involving transportation systems, institutional and commercial facilities and water resources, and environmental projects involving hazardous waste management and pollution control. RISK FACTORS In addition to the other information in this Prospectus, the following factors should be considered carefully by prospective investors in evaluating the Company and its business before making an investment. Dependence Upon Government Programs and Contracts ------------------------------------------------- The Company derives a substantial portion of its revenues from local, state and Federal government agencies. The demand for the Company's services is directly related to the level of funding of government programs that are created in response to public concern with rebuilding and expanding the nation's infrastructure and addressing various environmental problems. The Company believes I-3 Page 5 of 18 that the success and further development of its business is dependent, in significant part, upon the continued existence and funding of such programs and upon the Company's ability to participate in such programs. There can be no assurance that public pressure for such programs will continue, that governments will have the available resources to fund such programs (especially in light of the severe budget constraints currently existing at all levels of government), that such programs will continue to be funded even if governments have available financial resources or that the Company will continue to be awarded contracts under such programs. In addition, some of these government contracts are subject to renewal or extension annually, so continued work by the Company under these contracts in future periods is not assured. Finally, government contracts are subject to termination for the convenience of the governmental agency and contracts with government agencies that have adopted Federal Acquisition Regulations are subject to audit of actual costs incurred and provide for upward or downward adjustment of payments if audited costs differ from billed costs. Pricing Risks ------------- The Company's services are billed on either a "cost-plus" or a "fixed-price" basis. Under cost-plus contracts, the rates for the Company's direct and indirect costs are negotiated and fixed before work commences. Under fixed-price contracts, the entire contract price is fixed before work commences. Frequently, the Company submits proposals on extremely complex projects that will be performed over the course of several years, making the accurate forecasting of costs very difficult. In the past, the Company experienced low profit margins or losses on a significant portion of both its cost-plus and fixed-price contracts because overhead and general and administrative costs were excessive and could not be factored into contract proposals. The Company has reduced its overhead and general and administrative costs. However, to the extent the Company does not control overhead, general and administrative and other costs or underestimates such costs, the Company may have low profit margins or may incur losses. Environmental and Professional Liability Exposure; Adequacy of Insurance Coverage -------------------------------------------------- A significant part of the Company's business involves the planning, design and program and construction management of a wide variety of complex projects. If problems develop with these projects, either while under construction or after they have been completed, claims may be made against the Company alleging breach of contract or negligence in the performance of its professional services. In addition, the Company's professional services involve the planning, design and program and construction management of waste management and pollution control facilities. Federal laws, such as the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act of 1976 ("RCRA") and the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980 ("CERCLA"), and various state and local laws, strictly regulate the handling, removal, treatment and transporta- I-4 Page 6 of 18 tion of toxic and hazardous substances and impose liability for environmental contamination caused by such substances. Moreover, so-called "toxic tort" litigation has increased markedly in recent years as those injured by hazardous substances seek recovery for personal injuries or property damage under common law theories. While the Company does not directly handle, remove, treat or transport toxic or hazardous substances, some of the Company's contracts require the Company to design systems for those functions or to subcontract for or supervise such work. As a consequence, the Company may be exposed to claims for damages caused by environmental contamination arising from projects on which the Company has worked. The Company currently maintains an insurance program which provides, subject to certain self-insured retentions, primary and excess professional liability errors and omissions ("E&O") coverage with environmental impairment liability coverage and contractor pollution liability coverage, and both primary and excess comprehensive general liability insurance coverage, all up to specified coverage limits and with a variety of standard exclusions. While the Company believes that its insurance program currently is adequate, there can be no assurance that the Company can maintain its existing insurance coverage, that insurance coverage will be available under the Company's existing or previous insurance programs with respect to claims made against the Company or that claims will not exceed the amount of any insurance coverage which is available. Attraction and Retention of Qualified Professionals --------------------------------------------------- The Company's ability to retain and expand its staff of qualified technical professionals will be an important factor in determining the Company's future success. There is from time-to- time a shortage of qualified technical professionals in various fields. The market for engineering and environmental professionals is competitive and there can be no assurance that the Company will continue to be successful in its efforts to attract and retain such professionals. In addition, the Company relies heavily upon the experience and ability of its senior executive staff and the loss of a significant portion of such individuals could have a material adverse effect on the Company. Control by Principal Stockholders --------------------------------- As of the date of this Prospectus, Richard C. Blum & Associates, Inc. ("RCBA, Inc."), in its capacity as the sole general partner of Richard C. Blum & Associates, L.P. ("RCBA, L.P."), indirectly through several entities, has voting and dispositive control with respect to an aggregate of 1,627,802 shares of Common Stock, or 23% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (32% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, assuming exercise of the warrants to purchase an aggregate of 922,391 shares of Common Stock held by the entities managed or advised by RCBA, L.P.). Richard C. Blum, Vice Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Company, is the majority shareholder of RCBA, Inc. and directly owns 9,841 shares of Common Stock and holds options to purchase 9,000 shares of Common I-5 Page 7 of 18 Stock, of which options to purchase 8,000 shares of Common Stock are currently exercisable. Volatility; Market for the Shares --------------------------------- The Shares are listed for trading in the NYSE and the PSE. The Shares have been thinly traded, which may have caused fluctua- tions in the market price of the Shares. Fluctuations in quarterly financial results and general economic conditions such as recessions or high interest rates may also cause the market price of the Shares to fluctuate. Competition ----------- The architectural and engineering services industry is highly fragmented and very competitive. As a result, in each specific market area, the Company competes with many engineering and consulting firms, several of which are substantially larger than the Company and which possess greater financial resources. Competition is based upon reputation, quality of service, price, expertise and local presence. USE OF PROCEEDS If any of the Shares are resold by the Selling Stockholders, the Company would receive no proceeds from any such sale. The Shares would be offered for the respective accounts of the Selling Stockholders.

Item 9. UNDERTAKINGS (a) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes: (1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement: (i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933 (unless the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by this paragraph is contained in periodic reports filed by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in this registration statement); (ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the II-2 Page 13 of 18 registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement (unless the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by this paragraph is contained in periodic reports filed by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in this registration statement); (iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement. (2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. (3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment and of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering. (b) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. (h) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question of whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue. II-3 Page 14 of 18 SIGNATURES Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the registrant, URS Corporation, certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe that it meets all of the requirements for filing on Form S-8 and has duly caused this amendment to registration statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized, in the City of San Francisco, State of California, on this 31st day of March, 1995.
