- Description
- This notice replaces notice #24362520N0003, issued September 21, 2020. The Office of Personnel Management (OPM) intends to award on a sole source basis for reimbursement of its prorated share of the total cost of shared shuttle bus services provided by the lessor to all occupants of the Boyers PA facility.� The authority for this action is Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) FAR 6.302-1 - Only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements.� The intended recipient of this award is Iron Mountain Information Management LLC (facility lessor), of One Federal St., Boston, MA, 02110-2012.� Award will consist of a five-year Blanket Purchasing Agreement (BPA) to Iron Mountain, and individual BPA Calls to be issued annually for funding and payment.� Contractor will provide Shuttle Bus Service between the outside upper parking areas and work areas inside Iron Mountain Mine during the designated hours of operation.� Shuttle service consists of one standard, i.e., school bus-type, with seating capacity of approximately 26-28 passengers and one ADA-compliant low-floor bus of approximately 12-14 passenger capacity, equipped with retractable ramp able to be used by persons riding in wheelchairs and/or using mobility-assistive devices such as canes or walkers. Hours of Operation: Both vehicles will operate weekdays Monday through Friday except Federal holidays during the hours of 5:30 � 9:00am and 2:30 � 6:10 pm.� Iron Mountain LLC is the lessor of this facility, which is a former mine.� The General Services Administration (lessee) leases part of this facility from the lessor on behalf of its federal customers.� OPM is among the government entities in the GSA-leased space.� As a former mine, there are special considerations with regard to safety and security which do not apply to a regular federal building.� The lessor of the facility (Iron Mountain) has retained all rights to provide shared services to any/all lessors and controls the authorization of access to the facility.� Shuttle bus services are considered a shared service which requires facility access, and as such may only be provided by the lessor, Iron Mountain.� These services cannot be included in the GSA lease however, because of their nature as transportation, not facility operation and maintenance. This notice of intent is NOT a request for competitive quotations. Any response to this notice must show clear and convincing evidence that a prospective Offeror can fulfill the requirements, that competition would be advantageous to the Government and would not violate the occupancy lease or ownership rights of the lessor. A determination by the Government not to compete this procurement is solely within the discretion of the Government.
