Intents to Sole Source

This is a special notice prepared in accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 5.2 "Synopses of Proposed Contract Actions."
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), Far East District (POF) intends to negotiate/award a sole-source firm-fixed price contract with Thomas J. Davis, Inc. (TJD, Inc. CAGE: 1FDL0).
This contract is for the procurement of A-E services to prepare a complete design-bid-build (DBB) design package for the project. Completing construction of the Corrosion Control Facility (CCF) B-1635 to include critical system repairs on restoration/wash bays, paint/media blast booths, paint mixing room, storage, transition rooms/areas, and HAZMAT to bring the facility's HVAC, electrical/communications systems, and the floor layout to ensure proper function and code compliance of the facility. The project site is located at Osan AB, Republic of Korea.
10 U.S.C. 2304(d)(1)(B) as implemented in Federal Acquisition Regulation 6.302-1(a)(2)(iii). Under this authority only the original contractor is deemed the responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements for follow-on contracts for the continued provision of highly specialized services to the DoD when it is likely that award to any other source would result in substantial duplication of cost to the Government that would not be recovered through competition and/or would result in unacceptable delays in fulfilling the Government's requirements.
Thomas J. Davis, Inc (TJD) was awarded an A-E design contract (W912UM-12-C-0029) on April 10, 2012 to prepare the Architect Engineer Design for CY13 ROKFC In-Kind, SMYU05-3030, F16R600, Corrosion Control Facility, Osan AB, Korea. The contractor completed work and the contract was closed out on October 31, 2016.
Because TJD already performed the Architect Engineer design for this facility and is the designer of record, using the same Architect Engineer's services for the design of the additional work in this facility will avoid substantial duplication in cost. Soliciting a new A-E contract is impractical because other A-E firms would need to perform duplicative effort to evaluate and validate the existing TJD design. Selection of an A-E other than TJD since any other designer would need to perform greater effort to evaluate and validate the existing TJD design and prepare their input towards the design of the additional work. An additional consideration is due to the potential for disputes and liability issues involved with multiple designers of record for one facility.
A SOLICITATION WILL NOT BE POSTED.
The Government intends to proceed with this sole source action. The NAICS code is 541310, Architectural Services.
