Intent to award to single source

SPECIAL NOTICE - INTENT TO AWARD ON A SOLE SOURCE BASIS

The National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) operates a dock at 250 Egan Drive in Juneau Alaska to support fisheries related research throughout the state of Alaska.

An engineering analysis completed for the dock determined that the lateral bracing of the piles supporting the dock was inadequate. A procurement package was generated to purchase collars to attach diagonal bracing between 35 pairs of piling. The engineers have determined that the condition of the piling will not support conventional brackets bolted through the piling. A collar must be fitted to the top and bottom of each pile. These piling are broader at the base than the top and require adjustable bands and vary in diameter from 10.5 to 14 inches.

An adjustable collar system was sought that will allow the flexibility to configure each collar to fit the individual piling diameter in the field to that pre-measuring of each pile is not required.

MacLean Power Systems manufactures a universal clip band system that is field configurable that will meet our needs. This procurement is for the purchase of 140 bands to meet our needs along with the balance of materials for band installation.
