- Description
- The Department of Homeland Security intends to issue a sole-source Firm Fixed Price contract to Kling Architect and Engineers, Inc. to provide A&E services to support the final completion and acceptance of the existing construction of a power generation facility at the Plum Island Animal Disease Center (PIADC), Plum Island, NY. In 1998, Kling Architect and Engineers Inc. was contracted with by the United States Department of Agriculture on a competitive basis to design a new power generation facility for the PIADC, consisting of generators and boilers to replace the existing structure and its associated equipment. That contract was subsequently transferred to DHS. During the transfer of the contract to DHS there was a delay in the construction of the power generation facility and Kling Architect and Engineers was not able to complete the contemplated effort. No other firm can provide these services and meet the Government?s timeline for completion of the power generation facility without causing considerable delay. Any cost savings that could be potentially gained by using a different contractor would be lost in the expense of the learning curve causing further detriment to the mission. As the designer of record, Kling Architect and Engineers, under the authority of 41 U.S.C. 253(c)(1) is considered the only responsible source and no other service will satisfy the agency?s requirements. See note 22.
