MT - lewis and clark county LE contract

NOTICE OF SOLE SOURCE INTENT

THIS NOTICE IS NOT A REQUEST FOR COMPETITIVE QUOTES.

The Bureau of Reclamation¿s Missouri Basin Regional Office intends to award a contract for Law Enforcement and Security Surveillance Patrol Services for Canyon Ferry Reservoir and the lands immediately surrounding, including the Recreational Complex, and the Dam, Powerplant and Office complexes. Canyon Ferry Reservoir is located approximately 21 miles East of Helena, Montana. Reclamation has authority to establish contracts with local law enforcement agencies to enforce state and local regulations, as appropriate. Reclamation has found the Lewis and Clark County Sheriff¿s Department to be the only source with full arrest authority in the area of Canyon Ferry Reservoir, Montana, to successfully complete the required security and surveillance services and meet the requirements of Reclamation¿s Threat Condition Protective Measures.

Reclamation anticipates Request for Quote (RFQ) No. 140R6022Q0028 for this requirement will be issued to the System for Award Management (SAM) website on or around April 11, 2022, as a sole source requirement. Proposals will be due approximately 15 calendar days after the solicitation is issued. The resulting contract will be for a 5-month base period and include four additional 5-month option periods. The Government anticipates an award on or around April 29, 2022, and services to begin May 1, 2022.

Since Reclamation¿s experience is that only one responsible source can fully provide the services that will satisfy the agency¿s requirements, a Determination to Solicit from a Single Source is being prepared.
