Civilian Agencies
Infrastructure Support for the Agencies
That Serve America
Merrick helps federal civilian agencies deliver programs and projects that protect public lands, safeguard natural resources, and serve communities across diverse geographies. We work with agencies within the Department of the Interior — including the Bureau of Indian Affairs, Bureau of Land Management, National Park Service, Fish and Wildlife Service, USGS, and Bureau of Indian Affairs, as well as USDA agencies like the Forest Service and Agricultural Research Service. Our work also extends to the Department of Energy and the Indian Health Service, where critical infrastructure needs often begin with water and sanitation.
These agencies operate in environments that range from remote wilderness to cultural sites and research campuses. Merrick brings technical depth and an understanding of federal processes, balanced with practical experience from small-town and rural infrastructure projects. This combination prepares us to address funding constraints, permit requirements, and the unique logistical challenges that come with working on federal lands.
Our support includes water and wastewater systems, surface water management, site civil engineering, and land planning for new facilities. At national laboratories, we provide horizontal infrastructure design — utilities, grading, stormwater, and site layout — while collaborating with Merrick’s life sciences and nuclear science teams for specialized vertical facilities. Across all projects, we focus on solutions that are functional, resilient, and aligned with long-term mission needs.
