LIMITED SOURCE JUSTIFICATION

June 3, 2020

In accordance with FAR 7.104 (a) and GSAM Appendix 507.103(c), all scope and pricing information concerning GSA NCR is being included within this Limited Source Justification.

1. Contract Number: TBD

Identification of the Justification Rationale: Only One Source is Capable of Responding – FAR

6.302-1 Only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements.

2. Estimated Cost: $78,000.00

3. Project Address: 726 Jackson Place Entrance DC0122AA

726 Jackson Place, NW

Washington, DC 20502

4. Project Identification: 726 Jackson Place Entrance Renovation

5. Description: Several Architectural firms were on a 2014 IDIQ and after exhausting reviews we choose Quinn Evans Architects (QEA), formally known as (Cho, Benn, Holback & Associates, Inc.) to do our concepts and design work for the NEOB and Jackson

Place. The IDIQ Design contract was for two deliverables, 1. NEOB Entrance and lobby refresh and 2. Jackson place entrance lobby refresh. The design is meant to consider both buildings into the overall concept. Since QEA has completed the first deliverable and has completed approximately 35% of the second deliverable. They have received the review agencies comments from the 35% submission and have started incorporating these into their concepts. It has become apparent that the structural drawings have become classified.

To that end the structural sub-contractor has a cleared site facility and the required security clearances to work on the drawings. We plan to sole source directly to Thornton Tomasetti

Engineers (TT) to provide the required structural drawings to be classified up to the

SECRET level. We want the TT to work closely with the Quinn Evans Design team to complete the new entry sequence from the Jackson Place entry through the NEOB

Courtyard to the NEOB lobby. The intent of this design is to revive the Historic significance of Jackson Place to better meet circulation and Security Requirements for entry into NEOB. The TT will be required to complete a DD254 form to accomplish this work.

6. Statutory Authority: This justification is conducted under the authority of Only One

Source is Capable of Responding – FAR 6.302-1 Only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements.

7. Nature of Acquisition Requires Use of Authority Cited: This justification is conducted under the authority of Only One Source is Capable of Responding – FAR 6.302-1 Only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements.

8. Solicitation of Offerors: No other offers were solicited due to the need of the structural drawings being classified and the contractor TT knowledge of the project since inception.

To have another firm complete this work would be vastly more expensive as it would require duplication of the current drawings and very time consuming gathering all of the pertinent information from the customer agencies.

9. Reasonableness of Costs: In accordance with FAR 6.302-1 the contracting officer determines by certifying this document that the anticipated contracting cost, listed above is fair and reasonable and is supported by the Independent Government Estimate, attached.

10. Market Research: The A&E team has been working on this project since 2013 and no other firms would have such knowledge and background.

11. Technical Requirements Personnel Certification

I certify that the supporting data used to form the basis of this justification is complete and accurate.
