The U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service's Eastern Region has awarded Meramec Excavating LLC, a woman-owned small business, an Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract for road maintenance and infrastructure services across national forests in Missouri. This multiple award IDIQ has a ceiling value of $499,999.98 and a 5-year period of performance through September 2025. Under the IDIQ, the Forest Service has issued delivery orders to Meramec Excavating valued at over $200,000 to date for services such as road blading, aggregate hauling and spreading, culvert replacement, vegetation clearing, and related infrastructure maintenance and repair work. This work supports the Forest Service's land management programs in the Mark Twain National Forest and helps maintain the condition of forest roads and facilities. As a small business prime contractor, Meramec Excavating provides these services primarily in the Missouri counties of Houston, Rolla, Potosi, Fredericktown, Cuba, and Salem.
The initial IDIQ contract was competitively awarded in 2021 as a total small business set-aside, with the Forest Service anticipating making multiple awards. The contract aims to procure a wide range of road maintenance and infrastructure services to support the agency's management of national forests in the Eastern Region. Specific tasks may include surface blading, aggregate placement, culvert work, vegetation clearing, and other land management support activities. The work is essential for ensuring forest roads and facilities remain accessible and usable for the public and agency personnel.
