Special Notice_Postwide Refuse (Bridge)_021624.pdf

This is a Special No�ce to announce the intent of the Mission Installa�on Contrac�ng Command, Fort Liberty (MICC-FL), North Carolina’s need to procure Post-wide Refuse Collec�on, Disposal, and Recycling Services in support of the Department of Public Works (DPW) without compe��on as prescribed in FAR 6.302-2, Unusual and Compelling Urgency and 13.501(a)(1)(iii), Special Documenta�on Requirements.

The proposed contract will manage Post-wide Refuse Collec�on, Disposal, and Recycling Services for Fort Liberty, North Carolina (NC). The contractor shall provide all personnel, supplies, supervision, tools, materials, equipment, transporta�on, fuel and other items and non-personal services necessary to perform the full range of services in accordance with the Performance Work Statement (PWS), contractual s�pula�ons to include all local, state, and federal regula�ons, except for those items specified as Government furnished property and services or acts of God.

This requirement is for an es�mated 17,000 tons per year of Municipal Solid Waste collec�on, transporta�on, recycling, and the disposal thereof in designated licensed surrounding landfills. The service areas shall cover Fort Liberty, North Carolina, including the Special Forces Opera�ons Training Facility, Smith Lake Travel Park, Simmons Army Airfield, Camp MacKall, the Airborne Special Opera�ons Museum, and Linden oaks Housing Areas (excluding quarters).

Currently there is an Unusual and Compelling Urgency which precludes full and open compe��on, as a delay in award of a contact would result in serious injury, financial or other impediments, to the Government. Therefore, the plan to procure these services are IAW statutory authority 41 U.S.C.

3304(a)(2) pursuant to FAR 6.302-2 which permits other than full and open compe��on.

Full and open compe��on and delay in award of a contact would result in serious injury, financial or other, to the Government. Compe��ve procedures are an unacceptable risk to the health and welfare of our warfighters, dependents, and civilians. Addi�onally, trash travels caring harmful habitats, chemical pollutants, threatens aqua�c life, and interferes with human health. Improper disposal can lead to adverse health outcomes, for example through water, soil, and air contamina�on. Hazardous waste or unsafe waste treatment directly harm waste warfighters, dependents, and civilians exposed to unsafe waste management. Vulnerable groups such as children are at increased risk of adverse health outcomes. Poor waste collec�on leads to environmental and marine pollu�on and can block water drains. Resul�ng flooding and other standing waters in waste items favour cholera and vector-borne diseases such as malaria and dengue. Ul�mately improper waste management utopia for rats and mice.

This current requirement is a one-�me contract ac�on to meet the urgent need of refuse services on Fort Liberty to prevent a break in service. This will be competed at a later date.

This announcement fulfills the synopsis requirements under FAR 5.203(a). MICC-Fort Liberty intends to publish a solicita�on no sooner than five (5) days or less a�er the publishing this synopsis.
