Justification and Approval_CVD Wastewater Treatment Redacted.pdf

This is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (J&A) for a contract modification.

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), San Francisco District, seeks approval to extend services under contract W912P722C0002 for the Coyote Valley Dam Water and Wastewater Treatment Contract for six months, from November 8, 2026, through May 7, 2027. The modification will exercise the FAR 52.217-8 Option to Extend Services and obtain option pricing for the remaining contract duration. The original contract was awarded on November 5, 2021, as an 8(a) sole source award with a one-year base period and four one-year option periods, all of which have been exercised. Services include Water Quality Monitoring, Potable Water Supply operations and maintenance, and Wastewater Treatment at Lake Mendocino infrastructure. The extension is justified under 10 U.S.C. § 3204(a)(2) citing unusual and compelling urgency due to unforeseen circumstances preventing establishment of a replacement contract before the November 7, 2026, expiration date. The Government must maintain continuity of operations to comply with California Regional Water Quality Control Board Monitoring and Reporting Program No. 87-17 requirements and to prevent interruption of critical water-quality sampling and testing necessary for safe potable water and permit compliance. The estimated cost for the six-month extension is redacted from the document. Market research identified small businesses capable of performing the work; however, the compressed timeline (fewer than 60 days available for solicitation, evaluation, and award) precludes full and open competition. The replacement contract will be competitively solicited and publicized through SAM.gov to maximize opportunities for small business participation.
