Y -- NEW FAMILY HOUSING REPLACEMENT SOL DACA83-97-C-0012 DUE 030298 POC Jenny Yatsushiro, (808)438-8569 E-MAIL: click here to contact the contract specialist via e-mail, jenny.Yatsushiro@pod01.usace.army.mil. The U.S. Army intends to negotiate a supplemental agreement with Hunt Building Corporation under Contract No. DACA83-97-C-0012, FY97 FHNC PN 42458, Replace Family Housing Units, Areas "U" and "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 the construction of two (2) additional family dwelling units as part of ongoing construction. The U.S. Army has determined that it is in its best interest to have the work performed concurrently with the work being performed under Contract No. DACA83-97-C-0012 by Hunt Building Corporation, and that it 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 State of Hawaii's Housing Finance and Development Corporation's certification dated July 14, 1997, approving exemption of State of Hawaii general excise tax (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. (0013)
