U. S. Army Corps of Engineers, Nashville District, Kentucky Lock A-E Engineering During Construction Services

The Nashville District U.S. Army Corps of Engineers intends to sole source a firm-fixed price contract to Black & Veatch Special Projects Corp, 6601College Blvd, Shawnee Mission, KS 66211-1504, under the authority of FAR 6.302-1 (a)(2)(ii). The Nashville District is in the process of constructing a new replacement lock near Grand Rivers, Kentucky. Designs of major components have been completed by Black & Veatch Special Projects Corp. The project will be constructed in accordance with Black & Veatch Special Projects Corp designs. The government wishes to maintain the designer, Black & Veatch Special Projects Corp, as the engineer of record. If during construction activities changes to the design are required, due to unforeseen circumstances, it would be difficult, if not impossible to maintain Black & Veatch Special Projects Corp as the designer of record if they were not under contract to the government to provide EDC services.
