Acquisition Plan Action ID: 36C261-24-AP-4169

1. Contracting Activity: Department of Veterans Affairs, VISN 21, VA Palo Alto Health Care System, Menlo Park, CA; Purchase request number 640-24-3-5070-0261.

Estimated Value $41,048.00

2. Brief Description of Supplies/ Services required and the intended use/Estimated Amount:

Engineering is requesting an emergency contract to repair a failed 8 -inch domestic water line located in the loading dock area of B329 and B334 at Menlo Park Division. The 8-inch water line is part of the domestic water distribution loop on Menlo Park Division supplying water to the campus.

3. Unique characteristics that limit availability to only one source, with the reason no other supplies or services can be used: Suggested Source: Pargon Mechaninical This is an urgent request. On 22 May 2024, Engineering Service was notified of a large water leak in the driveway of Building 329 and Building 334. The Engineering Plumbing Team secured valves around the leak and reduced the water flow to a minimal volume of water. The secured sections of water line are causing impact to campus operations due to reduced water pressures. Repairing the leaking pipe will return the water distribution to normal condition for the Menlo Park Campus.

Pargon Mechaninical is currently on site for another emergency project with resources required to complete both emergency repairs.

4. Description of market research conducted and results or statement why it was not conducted:

Market Resuearch was done only to the extent of reviewing the previous procurement, as acquiring a previously used and known contractor from the area and, as stated above, Paragon is currently on stie working another emergency repair.

5. Contracting Officer's Certification: Purchase is approved in accordance with FAR13.106-1(b). I certify that the foregoing justification is accurate and complete to the best of my knowledge and belief.
