JA for Redacting 9.30_Redacted Final.pdf

This is a Justification and Approval (J&A) document for a sole-source, Firm-Fixed-Price (FFP) commercial services contract to be awarded to Hana Engineers and Consultants, LLC for environmental remediation services at Tobyhanna Army Depot (TYAD) in Monroe County, Pennsylvania. The contract is administered by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), Philadelphia District, under the Defense Environmental Restoration Program (DERP).

The new standalone contract encompasses five base tasks and one optional task focused on the U-Area Monitoring Well Installation, Testing, and Sampling project. Base tasks include: QAPP Addendum revision (CLIN 0001), U-Area Well Installation (CLIN 0002), Borehole Geophysics and Packer Testing (CLIN 0003), Quarterly Groundwater Sampling for New Wells (CLIN 0004), and CSM Update/Addendum (CLIN 0005). The optional task (CLIN 0006) covers annual sitewide groundwater monitoring and fence repairs. The contract has a 15-month Period of Performance from award through December 31, 2027. The total estimated contract value is redacted but consists of a base requirement value and an option requirement value. The RFP is scheduled for release on September 30, 2026, with final evaluations and contract award targeted for the same date. Award authority rests with Contracting Officer Brian W. Cox. The justification cites two FAR 6.302-1(a)(2)(iii) authorities: substantial duplication of cost not recoverable through competition and unacceptable delays in fulfilling agency requirements, given Hana's existing site familiarity, validated hydrogeological models, active PADEP stakeholder relationships, and specialized drilling capabilities essential to prevent regulatory non-compliance and protect adjacent residential drinking water supplies.
