3. The anticipated price will be determined fair and reasonable based on one or more of the price analysis techniques described below in accordance with FAR Part 13.106-3(a)(2). (Check one and provide short explanation or description of action taken):

____ _ __ Market Research.

____X___ Comparison of the proposed price with prices found reasonable on previous

Purchases and the IGCE

_________ Current price List.

_________ Comparison with similar items in a related industry.

_________ Comparison to IGCE.

_________ Contracting Officer’s personal knowledge.

___ ___ Other. Explain:

The rates for the dockage permit services have been compared to similar marinas in this small city. The rates at Camachee Cove have been comparable. Market research was conducted for marina dock services within a fifteen minute drive of the National Marine Center (by land) and also within one mile of the Vilano Public Boat Ramp, and was also capable of mooring vessels the size of type utilized by CBP. Camachee Marina was the only marina that met that criteria.

This criteria was used to minimize transportation risk, and to enhance the efficiency of the

Sole Source Determination marine maintenance contractors by minimizing travel time during sea trials. The other marina evaluated is Saint Augustine Marina; however, it is too far and roads leading there increase transportation risks due to traffic, narrow roads, and difficult turns. No other marina meets the governments requirements”.
