About this file
This document is a sole source justification for the purchase of Strongwell Duragrid T-1800 grating panels, square tubing, insert clips and socket head cap screws from the Ashley National Forest. The Forest Service requires these materials by June 1, 2024 for the final phase of the Little Hole Boardwalk Restoration Project. The project design from 2017 specified the use of Strongwell grating to ensure consistency, and multiple purchases have been made over the past seven years. No other manufacturer's materials were found to meet the design requirements. While new designs could use more readily available supplies, this purchase is needed to complete the existing infrastructure as designed.
