PR Number: 40665663

1. Nature and/or description of the item/service being procured and its intended use (include the anticipated cost):

Deep cycle batteries supplied and installed by Hydrolynx certified technicians at Remote Flash Flood signal sites across Lake Mead. Additional site visit by Federal Signal siren technician to inspect and diagnosis issues with those components of the system are also required. Total cost of services is

$27,197.00

2. Sole Source Justification rationale (Check one and explain below):

_X_ Only one responsible source.

Water & Earth Technologies (WET) originally installed the flash flood system at LAKE

(140P8120P0105) and is the current contract holder for inspection and maintenance on the flash flood system at LAKE (140P8123P0064). WET is the authorized maintenance and installation contactor of

Hydrolynx equipment (see letter from Hydrolynx in file) and have documented the deficiencies, from the field, to be corrected in the system.

3. Market Research.

140P8123P0064 was issued to WET for inspection, maintenance and testing of the flash flood system at

LAKE. Upon their April site visit, WET discovered multiple deficiencies that were not included in the original contract. The original market research for the 2023 contract included a sources sought effort, which returned 3 responses (2 small business and 1 large business). It was determined to solicit as a total small business set aside. The two small businesses that offered quotes, other than WET, used WET as a subcontractor in their quotes, since WET is the Hydrolynx authorized maintenance and installation contractor.

As this requirement is for more than $25,000, a notice of intent to sole source was posted 7-30-24, per

FAR 5.201(b)(1)(i).

4. If this is a determination for sole source, the contracting officer certifies:

a. Only one source is available, or urgent and compelling circumstances exist.

b. The anticipated price will be determined fair and reasonable using the price analysis techniques described in FAR Part 13.106-3(a).
