The U.S. Department of Agriculture's Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) awarded a $980,269 firm fixed-price contract to Jimenez Engineering Solutions, LLC (doing business as International Consulting Engineers) on May 19, 2025, to provide surveying and staking services for the Cattle Fever Tick Eradication Program (CFTEP) high-game fencing project in Cameron County, Texas. This total small business set-aside contract supports APHIS's efforts to control the spread of cattle fever ticks, which can infect cattle with bovine babesiosis and are carried by white-tailed deer and nilgai antelope. The surveying and staking services will facilitate the construction of high-game fencing designed to prevent tick-hosting wildlife from accessing tick-free areas and crossing into regions critical to cattle health and tick control.
Jimenez Engineering Solutions, a Hispanic American-owned, SBA 8(a) certified small disadvantaged business headquartered in Corpus Christi, Texas, was selected based on its professional qualifications, specialized experience in surveying and engineering services, capacity to complete the work by the May 18, 2026 completion date, local project knowledge in South Texas, and past performance on federal infrastructure projects. The contractor holds multiple indefinite delivery contracts with federal agencies including the Army Corps of Engineers, the Navy, and USDA, demonstrating substantial capability in government construction and engineering services. Work will be performed in Los Fresnos, Texas, with an ultimate completion date of May 18, 2026.
