- Description
- Under the authority of FAR 6.302-1, The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), Central Federal Lands Highway Division (CFLHD), Lakewood, CO, intends to negotiate a sole source contract with Okahara & Associates, Inc. 200 Kohola Street, Hilo, HI 96720 for the acquisition of Architect and Engineering (A&E) Services. This notice is posted per FAR 5.201. Background Information Okahara & Associates competively competed for and was awarded an IDIQ contract with the CFLHD. Under that contract a task order was executed to provide engineering services to support the development of contract documents and right of way acquisition support for the planned construction of the Saddle Road project. The task order period of performance was inadvertently allowed to expire on August 28, 2014, even though the contract work requirements were ongoing. A sole source contract was awarded to Okahara & Associates on December 16, 2014 to complete the project development process and expired on November 27, 2015. A brief narrative describing justification for proceeding with a sole source contract with Okahara & Associates for post design services is provided below: (a) It is in the best interest of the government to award Okahara & Associates a follow-on contract to perform post design services. Working relationships have been created and nurtured between Okahara & Associates and the public and partner agencies involved in this project. A change in the point of contact has the potential to cause unacceptable delays to the completion of the work. (b) A new contract with an A&E firm unfamiliar with the work requirements (Okahara is the Engineer of Record) and stakeholders would result in a duplication of work which would cause increased cost, liability, and time on the government as it would take a significant effort for a new contractor to become familiar and up to speed with the complex issues associated with this project. Additionally, the time associated with understanding and resolving project issues would likely cause delays to the project schedule. Summary Desciption of Work Post design services, including right-of-way support, archaeological monitoring, biological monitoring, and supporting construction related activities for Daniel K. Inouye Highway (formerly Saddle Road) East Side. This is not a solicitation. This notice is not considered a Request for Quotation or Proposal. No solicitation document is available and telephone requests will not be honored. No contract will be awarded on the basis of offers received in response to this notice. All responsible sources may submit a capability statement proposal, or quotation, which shall be considered by the agency. If no responses are received by 2 p.m. MST, December 28 the Government reserves the right to execute an award without publishing a solicitation. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed contract is soley within the discretion of the Government. Responses must be submitted to cflcontracts@dot.gov no later than the time and date noted above.
