DETERMINATION TO SOLICIT FROM A SINGLE SOURCE

Pursuant to Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 13.106-1(b)(1)(i), for purchases not exceeding the Simplified Acquisition Threshold (SAT) Contracting Officers may solicit from only one source if the circumstances of the contract action deem only one source is reasonably available (e.g., urgency, exclusive licensing agreements, brand name, or industrial mobilization).

Pursuant to FAR 13.106-1(b)(1)(ii), when a single source is identified to provide a portion of the purchase as a Brand-Name, the documentation in paragraph 3 must state that this determination is only for a portion of the requirement.

1. Agency and Contracting Activity. U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Reclamation, Lower Colorado Region Office

2. Name and Address of Single Source.

Republic Services

2011 College Drive, Lake Havasu City, AZ 86403

3. Description of Supplies/Services and Estimated Cost.

Contractor agrees to provide a 6 cubic yard dumpster with weekly pickup and disposal, also to provide a 40 cubic yard roll off dumpster picked up and disposed of by will call, approximately twice yearly (semiannually). Pickups will be made from the maintenance yard on the California side of Parker Dam.

Estimated Cost:

4. Description of Circumstances, including why only one source is reasonably available.

IAW FAR 13.106-1(b)(1)(i), only one source will be solicited because of the urgency of this requirement. The trash removal must be awarded by 9/20/2024. If the required performance date is not met, then award would have to wait until after the completion of the fiscal year updates to start services (potentially 1-2 months). Service has been in place for several years, however, due to increasing rates and charges it has exceeded our micro purchase limit that can be paid by government purchase card. It is now necessary to solicit a contract to comply with Government purchase requirements for the purpose of not exceeding the Single Limit Purchase for Services of $2500.00 per annum. Removal of the roll off dumpster has also exceeded the allowable amount alongside the monthly amount.

5. Determination of Fair and Reasonable Price.

Market Research Performed by the customer already determined an estimated price for this requirement. Other market research performed by the contracting specialist has confirmed

Solicitation Number: 140R3024Q0156 Page 2 of 2 that quoted prices from the customer are within reasonable expectations of what is to be expected for these services.

6. Description of Market Research.

Research conducted included searching all relative databases for recent contracts for similar requirements, quotes received by the customer, and online research for required services.

After conducting relative research, the Republic Services price and experience for conducting similar works for Parker Dam ah-eady seems to be fair and reasonable for this requirement.
