Description: United States Department of Commerce (DOC), National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), National Weather Service, Eastern Acquisition Division, (EAD) intends to contract with the University of Alabama, Tuscaloosa (UA) for Utility Infrastructure to the proposed site for the National Water Center, to be located on the campus of the University of Alabama, Tuscaloosa. There is only one electrical feed available to connect to power. Power is being fed from Alabama Power via the new north location substation. All duct banks on campus are university owned and provided. This electrical connection needs to be installed by UA as they can handle any emergency situation (break), are more familiar with the system, and have the fastest response time for possible shutdown and/or repair. The UA requires that the electrical installation meets their standards as well, since they are responsible for all the maintenance of this connection. While the nature of the services may not be complex, it is the university's policy not to permit access to their utility sites by a private contractor. The University has other buildings and equipment which they do not want to put at risk for potential damage. To permit access to the sites by others could pose a liability risk to the University not under their direct contract control. This intended contract action is for this electrical connection, as stated above for which the Government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source, the University of Alabama, Tuscaloosa, under the authority of FAR 6.302-1.
