See posted J&A for further information. SINGLE SOURCE DETERMINATION 1. CONTRACTING AGENCY: Kansas City District, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Contracting Division, 601 E. 12th St., Kansas City, MO 64106. 2. DESCRIPTION OF ACTION: A new, singles source, firm-fixed-price (FFP) contract using non-expiring Civil Operations and Maintenance (O&M Civil, No Year) appropriations to acquire and fund law enforcement services for Clinton Lake Project. The period of performance for the contract will not exceed three (3) years, with a base year and a maximum of two option years; the appropriation will support the option period. 3. DESCRIPTION OF SERVICE: Law enforcement services including patrolling the area at specified times, upholding the law, and arresting law breakers for the Clinton Lake Projects in Lawrence, KS. Services will be obtained from the following law enforcement agency, under the Solicitaiton number listed below: Douglas County Sheriff (Clinton Lake Project) 111 East 11th Street Lawrence, KS 66044 W912DQ-15-R-1002 Period of Performance and estimate details: Douglas County - Base plus two option years ( 15 April 2015 to 14 Aprils 2016 for the base, with option periods ending 14 April 2018); estimate of $46,000 per year for a total of $138,000; 4. AUTHORITY CITED: FAR 13.106-1(b), Soliciting from a single source. 5. REASON FOR AUTHORITY CITED: a. BACKGROUND: The NWK Lake Projects require increased seasonal law enforcement services on U.S. Government owned lands within its jurisdiction. Historically, these law enforcement services have been provided by a contract with the local Sheriffs' departments. The predecessor contract for this action is: Douglas County, KS - W912DQ-12-C-0049. The contract costs consist of labor for Sheriff's personnel, vehicle patrols, dispatch services, and administration services. The County Sheriff's Departments shall enforce all applicable Federal, state, county, civil, and criminal laws excluding those contained in Title 36 of the Code of Federal Regulations, Chapter III, nor shall they be empowered to enforce such regulations. The minimum requirements of these services are that the contractor be able to patrol the area at specified times, be able to uphold the law, arrest law breakers and prosecute within the counties, and be able to respond to an emergency in a timely manner. b. JUSTIFICATION: 1. Statutory authority to contract with the County Sheriff's Departments is required by state statutes. 2. The following are facts: i. 42 U.S. Code 1962d-5d - Authorization of Secretary of the Army to contract with States and political subdivisions for increased law enforcement services during peak visitation periods; authorization of appropriations - (a)The Secretary of the Army, acting through the Chief of Engineers, is authorized to contract with States and their political subdivisions for the purpose of obtaining increased law enforcement services at water resources development projects under the jurisdiction of the Secretary of the Army to meet needs during peak visitation periods. (b)There is authorized to be appropriated $10,000,000 per fiscal year for each fiscal year beginning after September 30, 1986, to carry out this section. ii. Kansas State Statute, Chapter 22, Article 24, states that law enforcement employed by consolidated county law enforcement agencies or departments and sheriffs and their deputies may exercise their powers as law enforcement officers anywhere within their county. iii. All previous contracts for the Clinton Lake Project was with the Douglas County Sheriff's Department. iv. The contractor will be required to submit a quote for these services and the price reasonableness will be determined by the Contracting Officer. The Contracting Officer will also verify that the Department of Labor wage determinations are enforced for this contract. v. There is no competition anticipated for this procurement because there is only one (1) Sheriff per county. 3. Alternatives: Since by statute there is little competition, the only real alternative might be to award a contract to the State Highway Patrol. However, the local law enforcement has been more efficient in responding faster to emergencies at the Lake Project. In the past, when the Lake Projects have had to rely on the State Highway Patrol for an emergency, they have been slow in their responsiveness or were unable to support the Lake Project because they were busy with another issue (e.g. highway-type issues).
