Sole Source Justification Public Safety Radio Tower Configuration Modification Project

DHS/FEMA Region 1, Maynard, MA August 2018

Contracting Officer's Representative (COR):

Grant Fournier, Telecommunications Specialist

Project Engineers:

Robert J. Reinke, Jr, Telecommunications Specialist John F. Robinson, Jr, Telecommunications Specialist

LOCATION:

DHS-FEMA Region 1 Federal Regional Center 63 Old Marlboro Road Maynard, MA 01754

Justification:

FEMA Region 1 recently had a certified tower analysis conducted on our 190’ Rohn Model-80 guyed public safety tower at the Federal Response Center (FRC) located in Maynard, MA. Analysis and certification was conducted by the following company:

Tower Engineering Professionals 326 Tryon Road Raleigh, NC 27603

This phase of the project is an update to an engineering certification document. Suggested sole-source contractor is the originating entity for the actual document that requires updating. Failure to use this company typically would require the new awardee to recreate the engineering analysis previously performed, thereby adding significant cost to the contract and ineffectual use of federal funds.

Thank you, Grant J. Fournier, COR
