NOTICE OF INTENT TO SOLE SOURCE

NAICS Code: 237 – Heavy and Civil Engineering Construction/237310 – Highway, Street, and

Bridge Construction

SIZE STANDARD: $36.5

THIS NOTICE OF INTENT IS NOT A REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS OR QUOTES.

The Department of Energy (DOE), Office of Science, Oak Ridge Office (ORO), intends to issue a

Cost Plus Fixed Fee (CPFF) contract to a single source under the authority identified at FAR 6.302-

1(a)(2)(i)(ii), Only One Responsible Source and other Supplies or Services with Satisfy Agency

Requirements.

This action is necessary to ensure continuity of services until a competitive follow-on contract can be awarded. The small business set aside competitive acquisition for the roads, grounds, and maintenance services support is in progress. It is DOE-ORO’s intent to extend the current contract that provides roads, grounds, and maintenance services support for the Oak Ridge Reservation (ORR) in support of the Facilities, Information, and Reservation Management Division under the Office of the Assistant Manager for Administration. This contract, DE-SC0012828, is cost plus fixed fee, and the contractor is East Tennessee Mechanical Contractors, Inc., 109 Bertrand Street NE, Knoxville, Tennessee, 37917

The Oak Ridge Office requires continued services to maintain approximately 100 miles of roads and several hundred acres of grounds that are not directly under the management of the contractors at major ORR sites (East Tennessee Technology Park, Y-12 National Security

Complex, and Oak Ridge National Laboratory). Specifically, these services include: (1) maintaining Levels 1-6 roadways; (2) maintaining utility lines rights-of-way; (3) operating a heavy equipment maintenance shop; (4) maintaining self-service fuel dispensing stations, including operating a fuel dispensing vehicle; (5) maintaining barrier gates, including lock and key control; (6) maintaining historic cemetery fencing, headstones, and gates; (7) maintaining and operating equipment to support wild land firefighting; (8) constructing and maintaining a fire grid; and (9) providing other support activities as needed, such as earthwork construction, construction advice, and outdoor event support.

The need for on-going contract support from the current responsible contractor until the competitive follow-on contract is awarded is paramount in fulfilling the Department of Energy (DOE) requirements to ensure that the safety of human life, the protection of property, and national security interests are not compromised. The services currently provided under contract DE-

SC0012828 must be provided to ensure roads and grounds are maintained in a condition that ensure they are open and safe for travel as mandated by regulation. Additionally, this will allow the necessary response to events that cannot be predicted, such as fires, inclement weather, emergency responses, and access for national security and law enforcement purposes. Considering the specificity of DOE security and safety requirements (Title 10 Code of Federal Regulations Part 851), along with the established collective bargaining agreements (CBA) in the Oak Ridge Valley, the current contractor is already performing these services under approved DOE safety and security plans/programs and is signatory to the CBA.

A three month base period and 3-three month option periods will be included with a POP for the base and all options of 6/24/17-6/23/18. The option periods will only be utilized until the competitive contract is awarded and a transition period successfully completed.
