RECOVERY

The contract involves a modification to an existing Construction Manager as Constructor (CMc) agreement to proceed with the construction phase of a new U.S. Courthouse in Austin, Texas. Funded by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, this action will not require a new procurement but will instead exercise an option within the current contract. The work falls under the NAICS code 236220, which pertains to commercial and institutional building construction. The responsible agency for this project is the General Services Administration, specifically under its PBS R7 Non-prospectus Projects Office, based in Houston, TX. The place of performance for the construction is Austin, TX, and the contracting officer overseeing the modification is Lisa B Byrd, who can be contacted via email or phone for further details. This contract modification is part of a recovery initiative and was announced as a presolicitation on July 24, 2009, indicating the intent to move forward with the established contract framework for completing the courthouse construction.
