- Description
- The Navajo Area Indian Health Service, Division of Facilities Management and Engineering intends to award a non-competitive, sole source purchase order to Proposed Contractor, Rock Gap Engineering, LLC, 6759 Academy Rd. NE, Albuquerque, NM 87109, to review and update the Structural Assessment report dated 02/13/2020 made by Rock Gap Engineering, and issue recommendations on the safety of the facility for occupancy in accordance to applicable Building Codes and Life Safety requirements.� The Many Farms Dental Clinic and OEHE Office Facility, which is located in Many Farms, AZ, is currently experiencing various structural problems associated with possible concrete foundation movement resulting in cracking in the flooring, separation of wall panels and suspended ceiling panels and cracking of interior walls.� ��Authority cited 41 U.S.C. 3304(a)(1), FAR Part 6.302-1 - Only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements. � � The Proposed Contractor is the only organization uniquely qualified to provide the required services, for they are the initial Designers of Record and who also went out there earlier, and are being asked to go back to Many Farms, AZ and update their findings and assessments.� The Government is asking the Proposed Contractor to provide a list of recommendations to fix the building along with a cost information. Rock Gap Engineering, LLC, based in Albuquerque, NM, is the Engineer/A-E of record for the Design of the Many Farms Dental and OEHE Office Building that was completed in 2012.� The facility has recently experienced structural problems that has resulted in interior separations in the wall and floor.� Rock Gap Engineering, LLC, at the request of IHS, recently visited the facility on February 06, 2020 to conduct an assessment on the problems and issued a report that outlined the probable cause and repair recommendations.� Due to the severity of the structural problems that continue to worsen, the IHS now requires an assessment update to the 02/06/20 assessment report authored by RGC followed with a full onsite inspection and investigation with a detailed report that will outline the probable cause of the deficiencies along with projected repair costs.� Although there may be other A/E that can perform this work, it would prove beneficial to the government to retain RGE for this project by virtue of their past involvement on this facility and previous assessment work.� Therefore, on behalf of the NAIHS, I hereby recommend the government consider Rock Gap Engineering, LLC for this particular project. � This notice of intent to award a sole source contract is not a request for competitive proposals. There will be no solicitation available for competitive quotes. Any response to this notice must show clear and convincing evidence that competition would be advantageous to the Government. Respondents are advised that the Government is under no obligation to acknowledge receipt of the information received or provide feedback to respondents with respect to any information submitted.� If no affirmative written response is received by August 18, 2021, 5:00PM MST, the contract will be issued without further notice. A determination by the Government not to compete the proposed procurement base upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. Information received will be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement in the future.� Any solicitation resulting from the analysis of information obtained will be announced to the public in Federal Business Opportunities in accordance with the FAR Part 5. However, responses to this notice will not be considered adequate responses to a solicitation. No proprietary, classified, confidential, or sensitive information should be included in your response. The Government reserves the right to use any non-proprietary technical information in any resultant solicitation(s).
