RECOVERY - Hazardous Materials Awareness and Environmental Monitoring construction phase services at the National Center for Agricultural Utilization Research (NCAUR), Peoria,IL.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture's Agricultural Research Service plans to modify a firm-fixed price task order for construction phase services related to hazardous materials awareness and environmental monitoring at the National Center for Agricultural Utilization Research in Peoria, Illinois. This task order is issued under an existing indefinite quantity contract for architect-engineer services, awarded per the Brooks Act and FAR 36.6 regulations. The Bernard Johnson Corporation was selected based on their overall technical expertise, specialized technical knowledge, familiarity with the project location, and cost analysis. The additional construction services fall within the original contract's scope, and this modification applies exclusively to Task Order No. AG-3K15-0D-08-0004. The contract specifies NAICS code 541330 and involves services performed primarily in Peoria, IL, with key points of contact including Contracting Officer Michael W. Thompson and Contract Specialist Patrick Reilly. The modification aims to support the ongoing construction phase efforts to ensure environmental safety and regulatory compliance during the development process at the research center. This update ensures continued collaboration with the Bernard Johnson Corporation, maintaining consistency and leveraging their expertise for efficient project execution.
