About this file
This document is a limited source justification for emergency electrical repairs to the visitor center at El Yunque National Forest. The justification cites an urgent need for repairs to the damaged transformer that powers the center's facilities. All work required under the project includes inspecting and assessing the failed transformer, itemizing corrections to restore power, and certifying the transformer is operational once fixes are complete. Due to the emergent need and to maintain normal business operations and safety, the Forest Service determined only one source was reasonably available and competition was precluded. The recommended and sole source contractor is F&B Construction Corp, a local small business familiar with the forest. The estimated price is not provided. The justification supports awarding the sole source contract to F&B Construction Corp under FAR 13.106-1(b)(1) for the urgent repairs.
