A Virginia firm has offered to take over the Moon Township engineering company.

In December, DC Capital Partners offered to purchase the Moon township-based engineering firm at $24.25 per share in cash.

The company's committee will be advised by investment firm Houlihan Lokey and law firm Jones Day. "The board has not placed any limitations on the committee's review and has not made any decision to review, or not review any possible alternatives at this time," according to the statement. Michael Baker is headquarted on Airside Drive in Moon.
