THIS NOTICE IS PREPARED FOR INFORMATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY, prepared in accordance with FAR 5.2- Synopses of Proposed Contract Actions. The U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service (USFWS) Joint Administrative Operations, Acquisition and Property Operations, Construction/A&E Operations located at 911 NE 11th Ave. Portland, OR 97232 is issuing a sole source solicitation for Architect-Engineer Construction Management Services for the Phase 2 Klamath Falls Sucker Fish Hatchery in accordance with FAR 6.302-1. The original firm that was awarded the design services included construction management services as an option line, but funding did not come through to enact that particular line item under the original award. Consequently, these services have to be pursued now through the original design firm. If another firm were to be considered, as a substantial duplication of costs would be incurred as the project requires that an AE sign off and stamp the record documents for the project and the original design firm with the original engineer of record would be required to visit the site, review the documents including submittals before signing off if another firm were to provide construction administration such as shop drawing review and site visits and request for information (RFI's). Therefore, there is no value in soliciting an additional firm to provide construction administration since that firm could not sign of on the design since they are not able to be the engineer of record. Additionally, most services would need to be duplicated by the original design firm before stamping record documents. In addition, it is not recommended to add an additional party to the contractual responsibility (meaning if there is litigation there is now three parties in lieu of two engaged in where the responsibility for fault remains). This notice is NOT a request for proposal/quote or invitation for bid. A solicitation will not be issued in conjunction with this notice of intent. Any vendor that believes it can provide the proposed services can provide supporting documents demonstrating capability for future reference. The Government is not responsible for any costs incurred in response to this notice. Information can be sent to the Contracting Officer, Karl Lautzenheiser, email: karl_lautzenheiser@fws.gov before the notice close date of 07/05/2022. No telephone, mail, or facsimile requests will be accepted.
