- Description
- By way of this Notice and in accordance with the provisions of FAR 6.302-1, the Chicago District, US Army Corps of Engineers, announces its intention to award a sole source contract to Smith Root Incorporated (SRI) of Vancouver, Washington, for the purpose of providing technical consulting services to assist USACE during the design of the Dispersal Barrier I, by supplying documentation such as technical data, drawings, specifications, and control programming for patented and proprietary equipment to be installed and be a permanent part of the new Dispersal Barrier I project. Further, SRI has research, proprietary arts, trade secret technology not open to the public that they use in fish barrier designs and components therein; thereby making SRI the only source capable of satisfying the government's requirements of this proposed contract. In this regard, it is deemed necessary to obtain the services from the original source (SRI) to continue an agile operation of the Barrier without disruption and to avoid a substantial duplication of cost that is not expected to be recovered by way of competition. In addition, the government cannot afford any delays in fulfilling the agency's requirements since the Barrier project protects the ecosystem from two species of Asian carp. The massive and voracious fish, which can grow to 4 feet long and weigh 100 pounds, are known for their ability to leap up to 8 feet out of the water as motor boats speed by, injuring fishermen. Scientists fear that the fish, which can eat the equivalent of 40 percent of their body weight every day, could damage the ecosystem of the Great Lakes, which is the largest fresh water system on earth. Under the proposed contract, all work will be completed by September 30, 2012. The contract will result in a firm-fixed price services contract. This notice does not constitute a solicitation for offers, proposals, etc. However, interested firms may send a capabilities statement NO LATER THAN the close of business on December 29, 2011. Statements should be sent to the attention of Anita R. Simpkins at anita.r.simpkins@usace.army.mil; ensure that the subject line of your email includes the title/description of this announcement. Award is anticipated on or about January 30, 2012. This announcement is in accordance with FAR 5.101(a)(1). The point of contact is Anita Simpkins at (312) 846-5372.
