Cattle dip vat and holding pen repairs

The USDA's Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service, Veterinary Services, Cattle Fever Tick Eradication Program (CFTEP) is soliciting bids for repairs to cattle dip vats and holding pens. The CFTEP monitors the southern border of Texas, capturing stray livestock and maintaining a Permanent Quarantine Zone (PQZ) for control of the cattle fever tick from Mexico. The repairs are likely necessary to maintain the facilities used for diagnostic testing, dipping, owner contact, and transportation to auction markets. • The project involves repairs to cattle dip vats and holding pens in Cameron County. • The CFTEP has a Permanent Quarantine Zone (PQZ) along the southern border of Texas. • The project may require knowledge of livestock handling and veterinary services. • The solicitation documents, photos, and site visit attendance list are posted below, although the document does not provide direct access to these materials.
