Intent to Sole-Source

This Special Notice from the Department of the Interior National Park Service National Office concerns replacing the waterproofing at the DuPont Circle fountain in Washington D.C. The National Park Service seeks to award a sole-source contract to the incumbent contractor F.L. Pinto Companies LLC due to their existing work and expertise at the project site under a previous task order.

The justification document provides details on awarding the waterproofing work to F.L. Pinto Companies LLC on a sole-source noncompetitive basis. It cites that F.L. Pinto Companies LLC is currently performing related rehabilitation work at the site under a previous task order, and awarding them this additional waterproofing work will prevent delays and protect the one-year warranty for both projects. The contract value is unspecified but will cover demolition of the old waterproofing system, installation of a new liquid membrane, reinforcement fabric, mortar and stones to match existing. Interested contractors have until September 21, 2022 to review the justification and submit any comments to the agency.
