First CMTA-Led Federal Design & Construct Project

August 6, 2025

CMTA is proud to announce a significant milestone with the award of the General Service Administration’s Lexington Federal Courthouse project, our first opportunity to provide both design and construction services on a federal project. This achievement marks a new chapter in the company’s ongoing commitment to high-performance engineering while expanding its footprint and capabilities in the federal market.

The Lexington Federal Courthouse project centers on a comprehensive $1.4M steam boiler replacement, utilizing a 2,200 MBH capacity to meet the building’s demanding requirements. This turnkey boiler upgrade not only modernizes critical infrastructure but also strengthens the courthouse’s operational resilience and energy performance. The design build scope extends further, encompassing a comprehensive feedwater system, enhanced steam central plant controls, and an LED lighting retrofit. The project is scheduled for completion by the end of 2025.

CMTA is partnering with Semper Tek, a small business and veteran-owned firm serving as the project’s prime contractor. CMTA was selected by Semper Tek to provide full turnkey Mechanical, Electrical, and Plumbing (MEP) design and construction expertise, bringing decades of experience and a legacy of engineering excellence to the table.

This project comes on the heels of CMTA’s national recognition in 2023 as one of only 21 companies approved for the Department of Energy ESCO Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract. Earning a spot on this IDIQ list is a significant achievement, enabling CMTA to pursue federal performance contracting work across the country. Since that milestone, CMTA has been focused on growing its federal market presence, seeking projects that align with its expertise and values.

The Lexington Federal Courthouse project represents a meaningful step forward in CMTA’s engagement with the federal sector. Through expert MEP design, close collaboration with partners, and a focus on delivering lasting value to clients, CMTA remains committed to the successful completion of this project and continued growth in the federal market.
