RECOVERY - Replacement of critical mechanical, electrical and plumbing systems serving Buildings 1, 4 and 34 at the Southeast Poultry Research Laboratory in Athens, GA

The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Agricultural Research Service plans to modify an existing firm-fixed price contract, valued at $16,305, to include additional construction services focused on altering Direct Digital Control sequences. This contract modification arises from performance needs within the current task order and is considered to be within the original contract’s scope. The contract under modification, identified as AG-3K15-C-10-0001, was originally awarded on a sole-source basis under Section 8(a) of the Small Business Act and related procurement regulations, ensuring continued partnership with Peachtree Mechanical, Inc., located in Fayetteville, GA. The original contract involves comprehensive recovery efforts, including the replacement of critical mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems in Buildings 1, 4, and 34 at the Southeast Poultry Research Laboratory in Athens, Georgia. The added services specifically support the ongoing upgrades to building control systems as part of this larger infrastructure improvement project. The modification reiterates the government’s commitment to maintaining the contract’s continuity and effectiveness through necessary scope adjustments, with Jennifer M. Friel as the main point of contact for further communication.
