Ladies and Gentlemen:

     We have acted as special tax counsel to ICF Kaiser International, Inc. (the
"Company") and participated in the preparation of the Registration Statement on
Form S-1 (Commission File No. 333-_____) (such Registration Statement, as
amended at the effective date thereof, being referred to herein as the
"Registration Statement") filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission
under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), with
respect to the registration of the Company's 12% Senior Notes due 2003, Series
B, and the related Guarantees of certain Subsidiary Guarantors of the Company,
together with the Prospectus relating thereto and included as part of the
Registration Statement.

     Based on our examination of such documents and questions of law as we have
deemed necessary or appropriate, we confirm to you our opinion, as stated in the
first paragraph under the caption "Risk Factors--Original Issue Discount" and
under the caption "Certain Federal Income Tax Considerations" in the Prospectus
included as part of the Registration Statement.  The other statements under the
caption "Certain Federal Income Tax Considerations" in the Prospectus are also,
in our opinion, accurate in all material respects insofar as they are, or refer
to, statements of United States law or legal conclusions.

     We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the
Registration Statement and to the reference to our firm under the heading
"Certain Federal Income Tax Considerations" in the Prospectus included as part
of the Registration Statement.  By giving

consent is required under Section 7 of the Securities Act or the rules and
