Barr-Bergmann Joint Venture

Barr-Bergmann Joint Venture is a for-profit partnership based in Minneapolis, Minnesota, that specializes in providing comprehensive architect-engineering services to the federal government. The firm is registered in SAM.gov through November 2026 and operates as a civil infrastructure design and engineering services provider, focusing on complex projects related to water resources management, navigation, environmental protection, and municipal infrastructure development. The joint venture has established itself as a capable contractor within the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' procurement landscape, demonstrating sustained success in competing for and executing significant engineering design initiatives.

Barr-Bergmann Joint Venture has delivered architect-engineering services across multiple infrastructure projects funded by the Department of the Army and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. The firm's recent contract awards include a $479,480.83 delivery order for the Water Street Combined Sewer Overflow A-E design project in Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan (awarded June 18, 2025), a $997,351.60 delivery order for the St. Joseph Harbor North Revetment and Pierhead Repair architect-engineer design services (awarded January 30, 2025), a $943,480.23 delivery order for the Frankfort North Breakwater Repair design project in Frankfort, Michigan (awarded October 17, 2024), a $499,056.98 delivery order for the Minnesota Point Hydrodynamic and Sediment Transport Model architect-engineering services in Duluth, Minnesota (awarded March 13, 2024, subsequently extended on a no-cost basis), and a $762,921.72 delivery order for Lake 1 dam spillway repair design in West Valley, New York (awarded July 11, 2023). All of these delivery orders were issued as firm fixed-price contracts without small business set-aside designations, reflecting the joint venture's capability to compete in unrestricted federal procurement. The work performed encompasses planning, design, hydrodynamic modeling, and infrastructure repair support across the Great Lakes region and related civil works projects, supporting the Corps' mission to manage water resources, protect navigation channels, and address environmental infrastructure needs.

Barr-Bergmann Joint Venture holds a primary indefinite delivery, indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) contract with the Department of the Army Corps of Engineers' Detroit District, valued at $13.75 million with performance through June 19, 2027. This multiple award IDV provides for multidisciplinary architect-engineering services including planning, engineering, design, construction, and operations/maintenance support for civil works projects across the Detroit, Chicago, and Buffalo districts. The contract was awarded on December 20, 2021, without set-aside designation and encompasses services under North American Industry Classification System code 541330 for navigation, infrastructure, environmental, and related projects. All of the delivery orders detailed above were issued under this broader $13.75 million IDV vehicle, allowing the Corps to task the joint venture for specific projects as needs arise. Additionally, Barr-Bergmann Joint Venture received a separate minimum guarantee architect-engineering services delivery order valued at $5 million (awarded December 29, 2021) with performance through December 19, 2026, which served to establish a baseline commitment under the broader IDIQ framework before being de-obligated as unused funds were returned to the government.
