Description of Requirement: Emergency Repairs to repair chiller #4 piping as an emergency service at the Loma Linda VAMC, 11201 Benton Street, Loma Linda, CA 92357. Statutory Authority permitting other than full and open competition: Urgent and Compelling Circumstances IAW FAR 6.302-2, 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(2) or 41 U.S.C. 3304(a)(2). Circumstances and Support for Urgent and Compelling Requirement: VA Loma Linda has four (4) chillers. Two for primary operation and two back-ups. While chiller #1 is already down for repair, Chiller #4 went down on low flow due to failed condenser valves together with existing piping that causing an obstruction to properly operate one of the valves. Without a backup chiller, the medical center could lose another chiller which will leave the entire building without cooling and put patients at risk. This lends itself to an emergency in accordance with FAR 6.302-2. A local vendor capable of providing the remediation and repair on short notice is D Square construction, LLC. Description of Solicitation Efforts and Exemptions This contract action is made under the conditions described in FAR 6.302-2 Urgent and Compelling circumstances. Furthermore, this acquisition is posted IAW 5.202(a)(2). Market Research and Price Reasonableness: Due to the urgency of this acquisition, a limited, informal query was conducted of the Federal Procurement Data System (FPDS-NG), System of Award Management (SAM), as well as Vetbiz.gov for potential sources. The Independent Government Estimate (IGE) referenced one vendor with estimated pricing based on previous acquisition history for the same or similar services. Due to the urgency, and stressed timeline of the requirements, D-Square Construction, LLC was able to provide services that met the urgency of need and stressed timeline of this requirement.

Furthermore, the contractor has successfully completed similar requirements with other VA medical centers and commercial entities on previous acquisitions. Price Reasonableness Determination: It is determined the price is fair and reasonable per FAR I5.404-1(b)(2)(v), the price is fair and reasonable in comparison to the Government estimate.
