Delivery Order FA890316D0066-FA890321F1039

The Air Force Civil Engineer Center awarded a $606,651.78 firm fixed-price delivery order to Bhate Environmental Associates, Inc. (BEA) on August 31, 2021, for pre-demolition survey work and environmental remediation activities at the former Chanute Air Force Base in Rantoul, Illinois. The contract encompasses a pre-demolition survey of remaining steam line vaults and the Trap Range 1 area, along with remedial investigation and feasibility study efforts, a proposed plan, and record of decision documentation. This delivery order was issued under the Other Environmental Programs acquisition vehicle, which supports critical environmental compliance and remediation activities across Department of Defense installations. The contract had no small business set-aside designation and was scheduled for completion by August 31, 2023.

BEA, a Birmingham, Alabama-based Subchapter S corporation, brought substantial relevant experience to this environmental remediation project through its extensive portfolio of federal contracts with multiple DoD agencies and the Army Corps of Engineers. The company holds significant indefinite delivery vehicles totaling hundreds of millions of dollars, including environmental support service contracts with the Air Force Civil Engineer Center valued at $100 million, which likely served as the underlying contract vehicle for this delivery order. BEA's demonstrated capabilities in environmental assessments, hazardous material management, and demolition support at military installations positioned the contractor to address the specialized technical requirements for environmental restoration and regulatory compliance activities required at the former air force base.
