Description
Mobile District intends to negotiate on a sole source basis with Southern Linc, 555 Glenridge Connector, Suite 500, Atlanta, GA 30342. This is to provide equipment, radio/cell phones, with airtime service for the Mobile District Corps of Engineers. The service area consists of remote locations, such as Parks, and Locks and Dams, throughout Alabama, Mississippi, Georgia, Florida, and Tennessee. The proposed contract action is for supplies and services for which the Government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source under authority of FAR 6.302. The Southern Company (Alabama Power) has existing Towers throughout the Southeast. An in-house study indicated that the use of these radios with Southern Linc Towers provided better coverage t o the remote locations for Park Rangers and Locks and Dams and the U. S. Corps of Engineers Field Office locations in Alabama, Mississippi, Georgia, Florida and Tennessee. To disrupt service with Southern Company would impact the Corps by losing service i n remote locations, and investments in equipment and installations costs for car kits, base stations, repeaters and compatibility problems with current equipment, which would need to be replaced if another vendor were selected. Interested persons may iden tify their interest and capability to respond to the requirement or submit proposals. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals. However, all proposals received within 10 days after date of publication of this synopsis will be cons idered by the Government.
