Water Tank Repair (GST)

The Department of the Interior National Park Service Midwest Region has issued a Limited/Sole Source Justification Notice for emergency structural repair and maintenance of a 100,000-gallon prestressed concrete Ground Storage Tank (GST) at Padre Island National Seashore. The contract will be awarded to Mobile Enterprises Inc located in Fort Worth, Texas, as the sole source vendor for this critical water infrastructure repair. The agency justifies the sole source award by citing the urgent nature of the repairs needed to prevent health and safety risks from potential water contamination, avoid regulatory noncompliance with TCEQ and AWWA standards that could result in fines and operational restrictions, and eliminate delays that would occur through competitive procurement. The procurement falls under NAICS code 238110 for Poured Concrete Foundation and Structure Contractors and PSC code J046 for maintenance and repair of water purification equipment. The notice emphasizes that delays in completing these repairs could lead to water contamination issues, regulatory violations, increased costs, and the need for alternative water sources, making expedited sole source contracting the most appropriate procurement method. No award value is specified in the notice, and inquiries must be directed to the contracting officer via email only.
