Description
The USDA’s National Detector Dog Training Center in Newnan, GA is expanding its New World Screwworm (NWS) training program and needs a contractor to design, construct, and install livestock holding pens, shelters, flooring, utilities, water systems, and a simulated chute‑training environment for on‑site goats used as training aids. All work must meet USDA animal‑welfare, safety, and facility standards and integrate with existing infrastructure. The contractor must provide all labor, materials, equipment, and expertise, begin work immediately upon notice to proceed, and have the complete facility ready for use by October 30, 2026. Quotes are due by September 8, and the project is time‑critical.
• Design and construct fenced enclosures for goats (including pressure‑treated wood posts, concrete‑set corner posts).
• Build shelters (minimum interior 12 ft × 15 ft, three enclosed sides; pre‑engineered metal building now acceptable).
• Install a 6 ft × 125 ft simulated training chute with metal fencing anchored to existing concrete floor.
• Provide utilities: water, electricity, drainage, and appropriate flooring.
• Ensure compliance with USDA animal‑welfare, safety, and facility standards.
• Immediate start after award; full completion by 30 Oct 2026.
