Description

The Army intends to negotiate a modification with San Juan Construction, Inc. under Contract No. DACA83-01-C-0040, FY01 RDT&E IFICS Data Terminal Facility, U.S. Army Kwajalein Atoll (USAKA). A Justification & Approval citing U.S.C. 2304(c)(1), Only One Re sponsible Source and No Other Supplies or Services Will Satisfy Agency Requirements, has been approved. The work involves procurement and installation of a Fenwall FM 200 gaseous fire suppression system. The Fire and Emergency Services at USAKA currentl y service 68 different FM 200 (Fenwal brand) locations within USAKA. They currently have three trained fire alarm technicians who are familiar with the testing and servicing requirements of the FM 200 systems. They have FM 200 spare parts on-island and h ave the knowledge required to order any required parts. Kwajalein is a remote installation located approximately 2,100 miles southwest of Honolulu. Support of multiple fire suppression systems similar to FM 200 would greatly complicate their maintenance a nd repair and increase costs to the U.S. Government. Specifying FM 200 would save the government money by eliminating the need to maintain and repair multiple systems at this remote installation. The cost of maintaining and repairing multiple systems such as FM 200 would be a substantial duplication of cost that the government would not likely recover through competition. San Juan Construction, Inc., the proposed sole source contractor, currently has the construction contract with the U.S. Army Corps of E ngineers. The estimated cost of the proposed modification is between $200,000 to $300,000. See Note 22.
