A -- INTENT TO NEGOTIATE A SOLE SOURCE CONTRACT WITH HUMBOLT STATE UNIVERSITY FOUNDATION. SOL WASC9-1278 DUE 080499 POC Randall Brown (206) 526-6226/FAX (206) 526-6025 Notice of intent to negotiate a sole source contract with Humbolt State University Foundation (HSUF). Purpose of contract is to have HSUF design and evaluate a downstram migrant fish live trap to minimize predation mortality. Research to be done under proposed contract relates to an exsiting agreement with HSUF but is outside scope of that agreement. Work under proposed contract will be more cost-efficient since work relates to existing research being done by HSUF. Questions concerning this action may be directed to Randall Brown at (206) 526-6226. This is a simplified acquisition with an estimated value of less than $100,000. Posted 07/12/99 (W-SN352824).
