New Courthouse in Greenville MS, Construction Management Services

The General Services Administration issued a Special Notice on August 31, 2026, announcing a contract extension under FAR 6.104 for construction management services on the new federal courthouse in Greenville, Mississippi. GSA is extending Contract 47PH0818C0001 with Duvall Decker Architects PA and authorizing the addition of terrazzo testing and inspection services; the original contract was awarded February 15, 2018, for architect-engineering services in the amount of $3,165,998.00.

Construction is approximately 99 percent complete with punch list items remaining. Unexpected terrazzo floor concerns have emerged requiring the contractor's continued involvement as both designer and construction manager. GSA determined that Duvall Decker possesses unique qualifications and eight years of project experience essential to complete closeout requirements and terrazzo repair work. The original completion date of November 10, 2021, has been extended multiple times due to construction delays, with the most recent target of July 31, 2026. Denying the extension would impose a 45–60 day procurement lead time for a replacement contractor, significant cost increases, loss of specialized expertise, and further delays to the Court's occupancy.

The original contract was competed under the Brooks Act based on highest technical capability. Duvall Decker Architects PA is a small business concern. GSA will post the justification on SAM.gov per FAR 6.301, with an effective modification date of July 31, 2026.
