- THIS IS A NOTICE OF THE GOVERNMENTS INTENT TO AWARD ONE SOLE SOURCE ACTION. Under the authority of FAR 6.302, the Government intends to award one sole-source action to R&M Consultants to provide civil/structural design services under their existing indefinite delivery contract by increasing the contract value from $4,500,000 to $5,500,000. The design services for the current task orders are deemed to be available only from the original source of this contract for the continued provision of highly s pecialized services currently under design when it is likely that award to any other source would result in a substantial duplication of cost to the Government that is not expected to be recovered through competition and unacceptable delays in fulfilling t he agency's requirements for pending AE actions. Any project designed for construction under this contract will be competed. If an AE is interested and believes they are capable of performing this work, they are invited to submit their letter of interest along with an outline of their qualifications (SF330), addressing knowledge or experience of the instant procurement or methodology to provide the designs without unacceptable delays or duplication of costs.
