Commodity purchases for the Hikkaduwa School, including construction material and services for the Sri Lanka Tsunami Reconstruction Program (SLTRP).

USAID/Sri Lanka intends to modify its current contract #386-C-00-05-00166-00 with CH2M Hill International, Englewood, CO, USA. The current ceiling price of the cost-plus-fixed fee (CPFF) type contract is $50,212,325. The intention is to increase the ceiling by $1,205,000 to work within the same period of the existing award to provide for commodity purchases (welding equipment, HVAC equipment and test tools) deemed necessary to make the Hikkaduwa Vocational School functional for the students as well as construction materials (concrete bricks, motor and reinforcing steel) and services for the Sri Lanka Tsunami Reconstruction Program (SLTRP). The proposed contract modification is for purchases and services for which the U.S. Government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source under the authority of AIDAR 706.302.70(b)(5).

This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals. A determination by the U.S. Government not to compete this proposed modification based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the U.S. Government. Information received will normally be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement.
