     (e)(2) Adoption of Bonus Plan Performance Targets for 2007

Most of our executive officers and selected senior managers ("Designated Participants") participate annually in our 1999 Incentive Compensation Plan (the "Bonus Plan"). Under the Bonus Plan, the Designated Participants are eligible to earn annual bonuses based on formulas tied to certain predefined financial performance targets that are established annually by the Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors. Each Designated Participant is assigned a "Target Bonus" at the beginning of the fiscal year, expressed as a percentage of his or her base salary.

On March 22, 2007, the Compensation Committee established the following Target Bonuses for our named executive officers with respect to their participation in the Bonus Plan for fiscal year 2007: Martin Koffel, 125%; Thomas Bishop, 60%; Reed Brimhall, 60%; H. Thomas Hicks, 75%; Gary Jandegian, 75%; Susan Kilgannon, 40%; Joseph Masters, 65% and Randall Wotring, 75%.

1

The Compensation Committee also established the financial performance targets under the Bonus Plan. For fiscal year 2007, a minimum corporate net income target is a prerequisite for all Designated Participants under the Bonus Plan. In addition, with respect to our executive officers, the corporate net income target will be the sole financial measurement used to determine bonuses for Martin Koffel, H. Thomas Hicks, Reed Brimhall, Joseph Masters, and Susan Kilgannon; divisional operating profit contribution will be an additional financial measurement for Thomas Bishop and Gary Jandegian; and divisional operating profit contribution and days sales outstanding will be additional financial measurements for Randall Wotring. The Compensation Committee will have the discretion to adjust financial results for one-time, non-recurring events that are allowable under the rules of Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code to qualify as "performance-based" awards. The foregoing description of the above Bonus Plan Performance Targets for 2007 is qualified in its entirety by reference to the 2007 Annual Incentive Compensation Plan identified in Exhibit 10.1.
 
 
On March 23, 2007, the Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to a maximum of one million shares of the common stock of URS, plus that number of shares equal to the cumulative number of shares of common stock issued from time-to-time pursuant to the URS equity incentive plan and employee stock purchase plan during the period from December 30, 2006 through January 1, 2010 (excluding shares issued upon the exercise of options issued prior to December 30, 2006). A copy of the press release announcing the stock repurchase program is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.2 and incorporated herein by reference.
