About this file
This notice provides details regarding a sole source award for architect and engineering services. The National Park Service intends to award a contract to Jacobs Engineering to complete design development and construction documents to replace park-wide utility infrastructure at Catoctin Mountain Park in Maryland. As the original designer and engineer of record, Jacobs Engineering has the unique capability to update the existing design to change the water line piping material, whereas another firm would need to duplicate design efforts. The agency cites preventing duplication of costs and unacceptable project delays that would occur if a new firm had to review and re-certify the existing design as justification for the sole source award. Interested parties have until September 11, 2020 to submit a capability statement for consideration. The estimated value of the contract award exceeds the simplified acquisition threshold. The solicitation number for the opportunity is 140P2020R0123.

Notice of intent to solicit and negotiate with only one source under the authority of 6.302. In accordance with FAR 5.203(d), the NPS hereby allows a 30-day response time from the date this notice is posted before issuance of award for architect-engineer services. All responsible sources may submit a capability statement, proposal, or quotation, which shall be considered by the agency.
The National Park Service, Denver Service Center, 12795 W. Alameda Pkwy, Lakewood, CO 80227 intends to solicit and negotiation a sole source requirement with Jacobs Engineering, 9191 S. Jamaica St. Englewood, CO 80112 under the FAR Authority 6.302-1 Only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements. The requirement is to replace Park wide utilities infrastructure at Catoctin Mountain Park, Maryland.
The requirement is for architect and engineering services to complete Design Development and Construction Documents as the Pre-Design and Schematic Design have already been completed and performed by Jacobs Engineering as both the designer and engineer of record. to develop revised plans and specifications to change the piping material of the existing water line that continues to fail. As the designer and engineer of record for the existing design Jacobs Engineering has the unique capability to complete the specifications and drawings, where as another firm would be required to duplicate the entire effort, creating a substantial duplication of cost to the Government that is not expected to be recovered through competition. In addition, the utility infrastructure continues to erode costing the Government additional costs for operations, maintenance and repairs. The time it would take a new firm to assume the current design, review, and re-certify the existing design of the utility infrastructure would create unacceptable delays in fulfilling the agency’s requirements. The estimated costs are above the simplified acquisition threshold and award is expected to be completed on September 11, 2020.
