Sole Source Justification for Simplified Acquisitions over $10,000 and Up To $250,000 Template

Explain:

Stehekin, Washington is a remote wilderness community, located within Lake Chelan National Recreation Area, a unit of North Cascades National Park Service Complex. It is 55 miles up Lake Chelan from Chelan, WA, and cannot be reached by car (vehicles on roadway), but can be reached by boat or plane (usually by ferry or barge service). Coordination with a barging service will be necessary to transport refuse material from the Lake Chelan National Recreation Area to the Chelan/Wenatchee, WA area for disposal as barging is basically the only option for transporting the solid waste/recycle/loose materials. There is only one company that currently provides barging services from Stehekin and they also have been issued a WUTC permit to operate as a business doing Solid Waste Collection Services in the Stehekin area. The entity is:

Mountain Barge Services - WUTC Solid Waste Company Tariff Permit# GOOO 191
