This document is an Arizona State Procurement Office (SPO) Form 101 - Competition Impracticable Procurement Authorization for Arizona Parks and Trails. The requesting agency is Arizona Parks and Trails, specifically for Lost Dutchman State Park. The procurement specialist, Charles Stevens, is seeking authorization for septic pumping services, with 4RB Coopers LLC identified as the supplier.

The contract is for a five-year term with an estimated statewide aggregate cost of $100,000. The procurement was initiated through a statewide solicitation in January 2025, which received no bids for the southern region. The current supplier, Old Pueblo, was unable to submit a timely bid due to technical difficulties. Coopers Septic has worked with Lost Dutchman State Park for the past five years and is familiar with the park. Despite Old Pueblo's pumping price being 40 cents higher per gallon, Coopers Septic was selected due to their proven service and responsiveness. The contract has been approved by the Chief Procurement Officer with an expiration date of August 28, 2030, with the condition of annual reviews and renewals not exceeding the five-year maximum term.
