Sewer Line and Tank Placement Bldg. 13 USDA ARS Starkville, MS (Amended)

The Agricultural Research Service is seeking quotes for a new sewage line and septic tank at the Poultry Research Unit in Starkville, Mississippi. The work involves installing a 1,000-gallon two-chamber septic tank and approximately 440 feet of 4-inch gravity-fed PVC sewage line for Building 13.

The performance period is 90 days from the Notice to Proceed. Because the site is a secured animal research compound, the contractor must follow specific security protocols and maintain biosecurity fencing. Documentation includes the Statement of Work, site photos, Davis-Bacon wage determinations, and post-award forms for scheduling and payments. Quotes must acknowledge all amendments, including the technical clarifications in the official Q&A document. Contractors must attend a mandatory site visit, follow Davis-Bacon wage rates, and use USDA-ARS forms for scheduling and payments. Technical requirements include maintaining biosecurity fencing and backfilling without seeding. Maintain existing biosecurity fencing to protect the animal research compound.
