Y -- NEW FAMILY HOUSING REPLACEMENT SOL DACA83-95-C-0019 DUE 070896 POC Contract Specialist KENT A. TAMAI (808) 438-8565. The Army intends to negotiate a supplemental agreement with Hunt Building Corporation under Contract No. DACA83-95-C-0019, FY95 FHNC PN039028, New Family Housing Replacement, Areas ''U'' & ''V'', Schofield Barracks, Oahu Hawaii, pursuant to 10 U.S.C. Section 2304(c)(1), ''Only One Responsible Source and No Other Supplies or Services Will Satisfy Agency Requirements''. Work under the proposed supplemental agreement includes work for an estimated additional six (6) housing units as part of ongoing construction. The Army has determined that it is in its best interest to have the work performed concurrently with the work being performed under Contract No. DACA83-96-C-0019 by Hunt Building Corporation, and that is impracticable to have two prime contractors concurrently working in the same physical location for reasons of maintaining security of the facility and its contents, coordination of the work items, and timely completion of all work. This additional work is based on the State of Hawaii's Housing Finance and Development Corporation's, May 28, 1996 letter to Hunt Building Corporation, approving of exemption from State of Hawaii general excise taxes (GET) for this project provided that the cost savings resulting from the GET exemption shall be used for the construction of additional military family housing units in Hawaii. Hunt Building Corporation will be expected to place subcontracts to the maximum practicable extent with small and disadvantaged firms in accordance with Public Law 95-507. See Note 22. (0156)
