The incumbent contractor, Canny Moves (Canny) is the incumbent contractor, Contract 140P8123P0088 for Trash Services at Katherine’s Landing for Lake Mead NRA. Canny partially defaulted on performance of the contract for section J, of their contract.

The anticipated cost is NTE $9,261.36.

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

______ Only one responsible source.

__x____ Urgent and compelling circumstances exist.

______ Other _____________________________________________________

Explain: Consistent and Continuous trash services are required to ensure that the grounds and surrounding areas at the Government facilities are free from trash and any hazardous waste. The Contracting officer considers this situation an unusual and compelling urgency because delay of contract would result in serious injury, financial or other to the government. Trash services at NV Cove located in Katherine’s Landing Lake Mead NRA requires no break in service because it is high visitor/public visits and if left without trash services for even a few hours, trash will easily pile up and it will increase the air pollution and create a toxic environment for the Public at Lake Mead.

Plastic waste and by Products can harm the earth and species that live in it. Soil runoff from litter can infiltrate the soil. Soil absorbs toxins and humans who eat the crops or animals feeding on the infected agriculture can become ill. Discarded jars and bottles usually do not biodegrade, therefore, litter that remains clogs streets, rivers and fields. The mission of the NPS is to ensure that the Public can enjoy the outdoors safely. Therefore, per FAR 13.106 (b) allows Contracting Officers to solicit from a single source not exceeding the simplified acquisition threshold if the CO determines that the circumstances of the contract deem only one source is reasonably available. Due to the urgent nature of the requirement, there is one source reasonable available, the subcontractor to Canny Moves. Tri-City (sub) who is already onsite providing the 53 receptacle dumpster services and is under contract with Canny. The CO has decided to contract directly, the services for NV Cove to Tri-City Disposal.
