The U.S. Department of Agriculture awarded a $38,077.79 firm fixed-price contract to DOT Construction, Inc., a minority-owned small disadvantaged business headquartered in Charlotte, North Carolina, to replace greenhouse roof panels on Greenhouse No. 1 at the USDA Agricultural Research Service Plant Science Facility in Raleigh, North Carolina. The contract was set aside for total small business and was awarded on July 8, 2016, with an ultimate completion date of November 30, 2016. A modification extended the period of performance from October 20, 2016 to November 18, 2016 to accommodate material lead times and allow the contractor adequate time to complete the project.
DOT Construction, Inc. is a Disadvantaged Business Enterprise registered in SAM.gov since 2006 with extensive experience executing federal construction and facility maintenance projects across multiple agencies, particularly the Department of the Interior and USDA. The company benefits from significant Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity contract vehicles, including a $40 million USDA Forest Service Civil Construction Multiple Award Task Order Contract focused on civil engineering projects in southeastern states, which likely provided a strategic framework for this facility improvement work at the ARS installation.
