Control #W912ES-17-JA-0005

JUSTIFICATION AND APPROVAL

FOR OTHER THAN FULL AND OPEN COMPETITION

1. CONTRACTING AGENCY: The Corps of Engineers St. Paul District, St. Paul, MN is the contracting agency responsible for this action.

2. DESCRIPTION OF ACTION: This acquisition is to supply two (2) replacement worm gear speed reducers and associated spare gear reducer seals for the Orwell Dam tainter gate operating machinery.

3. DESCRIPTION OF SUPPLIES/SERVICES OR NATURE OF

CONSTRUCTION:

a. Briefly describe the supplies and/or services and/or construction: Two (2) replacement worm gear speed reducers and spare seals (all to be installed by others) to restore normal operability to the Orwell Dam tainter gate operating machinery.

b. Is this a modification: This is not a modification to an existing contract.

c. Requiring Activity: RNR – MN Flood Control

d. Option quantities and/or performance periods: No options.

4. AUTHORITY CITED: The statutory authority permitting other than full and open competition is 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1), as implemented by FAR 13.106-1(b), Soliciting Competition," which states, “Contracting officers may solicit from one source if the contracting officer determines that the circumstances of the contract action deem only one source reasonably available (e.g., urgency, exclusive licensing agreements, brand-name or industrial mobilization.”

5. REASON FOR AUTHORITY CITED: The worm gear speed reducers are two components of a larger mechanical system (tainter gate operating machinery). Because there is no redundancy on this dam gate, repairs to restore the operating machinery to its normal state of operability are time critical. Installing identical worm gear speed reducers is the fastest and most cost-effective way to accomplish this because the existing geometries would remain unchanged, and no other component of the system would require modification or replacement.

6. EFFORTS TO OBTAIN COMPETITION: Due to the fact that the specific shaft geometries are proprietary information of Delroyd Worm Gear, no one else can perform this task.

7. ACTIONS TO INCREASE COMPETITION: The manufacture and supply of these specific worm gear speed reducers can only be performed by the gear reducer manufacturer.

8. MARKET RESEARCH: None.

9. INTERESTED SOURCES: Nuttall Gear LLC (Doing Business as Delroyd Worm Gear), 2211 Niagara Falls Blvd Ste 17, Niagara Falls, NY 14304-5710

10. OTHER FACTS: Discuss any other facts supporting the use of other than full and open competition, such as the following: N/A
