Date: ____7/13/2023________________ PR Number: _____ 0040623715____________________

1. Nature and/or description of the item/service being procured and its intended use (include the anticipated cost):

Solid waste (garbage) is collected daily by custodial staff in and about Redwood National Park. Custodial staff depart and return to the park maintenance facility (NOC) in Crescent City, CA. A licensed and permitted waste disposal site with weighing capability within Del Norte County is required to accept and dispose of the waste stream. Dumping of two portable 10 yard compactors is also required one to two times per week. These containers are handled by large NPS trucks. A waste disposal site must have the ability to weigh and accept large garbage/dump trucks.

2. Sole Source Justification rationale (Check one and explain below):

__X___ Only one responsible source.

______ Urgent and compelling circumstances exist. Include critical delivery or performance dates, and when you became aware of the requirement. Provide a specific statement of the impact on Government operations, financial or otherwise, if the required delivery or performance dates are not met.

______ Other _____________________________________________________

Explain:

The supplies or services required by the agency are available from only one responsible source, and no other type of supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements. Del Norte Solid Waste in Crescent City, CA is the only licensed and permitted waste handler with weighing and large vehicle capability to accept solid waste in Del Norte County. It is under two miles to this location from the Redwood National Park Maintenance Facility. Humboldt Sanitation located in Eureka, California (Humboldt County) will not accept solid waste from outside their county. The Humboldt sanitation site is 140 miles round trip. A disposal site – Curry Transfer and Recycling – north of Brookings, OR does not have weighing capability and will not accept large trucks other than their own and cannot accept waste from outside their county or across state lines. Also, Redwood National Park cannot transport solid waste generated in California over state lines. This facility is 80 miles round trip.

3. Market Research. Please explain the results or why one was not performed. State whether any other offers were received or anyone expressed interest:

__Research was conducted by internet and phone calls and site visits to solid waste collection sites.

_There were no offers received and no interest expressed by any other company.
