About this file
This document is a Justification & Approval for Other Than Full and Open Competition (JOFOC) for a simplified acquisition. The National Park Service intends to award a sole source contract to Arrow Lift for repairing the LULA elevator at the Boston Mills Visitor Center for $5,863.98. The urgent and compelling justification stems from the elevator being out of service, which currently prevents the facility from meeting Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) compliance and would impede visitor access during the upcoming summer season.
The contract is justified through an existing service contract between Cuyahoga Valley National Park (CUVA) and Arrow Lift for elevator inspection, maintenance, and testing. Arrow Lift has already investigated the elevator's issues and is deemed most familiar with the needed repairs. The document includes approvals from a Contract Officer Representative and Contracting Officer, with signatures dated 4/21/2025 and 5/5/25 respectively, indicating the urgent nature of the repair and the intent to proceed with a sole source award to expedite the elevator's restoration.

Explain: Currently the LULA elevator at the Boston Mills Visitor Center (BMVC) is out of service and is need of repair. The BMVC experiences a large volume of public visitation and does currently meet Americans with Disability Act (ADA) compliance. If the elevator is not repaired in a timely manner it will prevent visitors with disabilities to experience all the Visitor Center has to offer in the upcoming busy summer season.
3. Market Research. Please explain the results or why one was not performed. State whether any other offers were received, or anyone expressed interest: Currently CUVA has a service contract with Arrow Lift to provide Inspection, Maintenance and Testing (IMT) for all elevators and lifts throughout the park.
