The Western Area Power Administration (WAPA), a civilian agency within the U.S. Department of Energy, has awarded a Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) contract to Civil Design & Engineering Inc. (CD&E), a small business Subchapter S corporation, for construction inspection services to support WAPA's infrastructure projects in the Upper Great Plains, Rocky Mountain, and Sierra Nevada regions. The BPA has a ceiling value of $7.5 million and a period of performance through December 2025. Under this BPA, WAPA has issued multiple task orders to CD&E for specific construction inspection services, including for substation upgrades, transmission line projects, generator installations, and facility repair work. The task orders range in value from $6,527 to $611,242 and use a firm fixed-price pricing structure. CD&E has extensive experience providing professional services to federal agencies, holding several other significant Indefinite Delivery Vehicle (IDV) contracts, such as a $50 million multiple-award IDIQ with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and an $18 million single-award IDIQ with WAPA for architecture and engineering services across the Western U.S.
This BPA and associated task orders allow WAPA to efficiently obtain construction inspection services from CD&E to support the agency's mission of marketing and transmitting electricity from federal hydropower plants across 15 western states. The contract does not have any set-aside designations, indicating WAPA's focus on obtaining high-quality, cost-effective services from an experienced small business contractor. The task orders cover a variety of infrastructure and facilities projects, demonstrating CD&E's broad capabilities in supporting WAPA's power transmission, substation, and building upgrade initiatives throughout the Western region.
