- Description
- 1. On 4 April 2018, the Nashville District (District) issued Solicitation Number W912P5-18-T-0026 (Solicitation), Cordell Hull Lock Expansion Joint Repairs, for a firm fixed-price contract for commercial services for the District's Fiscal Year 2018. The Solicitation was amended once to correct the NAICS code from 332312 to 238290, the quote due date remained the same. Also FAR 52.252-3 was updated. One (1) quote was received in response to the Solicitation. The quote was evaluated in accordance with the terms of the Solicitation. 2. Sufficient funds were available when the Solicitation was advertised, amended and on the closing date. However, the quoted amount was 200% more than the government's independent cost estimate (IGCE). On 06 June 2018, John Ermer, Maintenance Engineer/COR notified the Contracting Office the quote was not technically acceptable. Since only one quote was received the contract specialists contacted the offeror to clarify the technical portion of their quote and to ask for a breakdown of the materials, labor and equipment in order for the government to have a better understanding of why the price was so much higher than the IGCE. The offeror's response clarified to the government that they did not meet the requirements technically and also their price was much higher than fair market value. 1.

In accordance with FAR 12.209 the contracting officer must ensure that contract terms, conditions, and prices are commensurate with the Government's need. The contractor's quote did not meet the PWS and was not technically acceptable and the quoted price was not considered fair and reasonable. 4. Because only one (1) quote was received and the contractor's quote was not technically acceptable and the price was not considered fair and reasonable the Contracting Officer has decided not to award the Cordell Hull Lock Expansion Joint Repairs.
