- Description
- Notice of Intent: The Bureau of Reclamation intends to award a requirement for a specialized Consultant Review Board (CRB) to review the seismic source characterization of the Foothills fault system (FFS). The FFS is the closest potential fault source to Folsom Dam and at low annual probabilities of exceedence may be the controlling seismic source. The CRB will provide an independent review of the seismic source characterization of the FFS that is being developed and used in the probabilistic seismic hazard analysis (PSHA) and ground motion evaluations for Folsom Dam. Folsom Dam and Reservoir are located on the American River, approximately 15 miles east of downtown Sacramento, California at the western edge of the Sierra Nevada Foothills. Reclamation's Seismotectonics and Geophysics Group is revising the probabilistic seismic hazard analysis and ground motion parameters for the dam as part of the Corrective Action Analyses (CAA). As such, Reclamation has the requirement for an independent review of the seismic source characterization of the FFS to ensure Reclamation has the latest, most up-to-date, best interpretation of the available data. This procurement is being conducted under the Simplified Acquisition Procedures (SAP) FAR Subpart 13 and Acquisition of Commercial Items, FAR Subpart 12. The proposed action is for services for which the Government believes that there is only one responsible source and no other service will satisfy the agency's requirement. The source is comprised of: [Dr. William Lettis, William Lettis and Associates; Dr. James McCalpin, GeoHaz Consultants; Mr. Thomas Sawyer, Piedmont Geosciences; Dr. Frank H. (Bert) Swan; and Dr. Robert Youngs, Geomatrix Consultants.] Reclamation prepared a Justification for Other than Full and Open Competition to support this acquisition. Any individual or firm who believes it can provide the required services, described above, are encouraged to identify themselves and give written notification to the Contracting Officer. However the individual or firm believing it can provide similar services must provide supporting evidence that they can furnish the services identified above, in sufficient detail, to demonstrate the respondent's ability to meet the stated requirements. THIS NOTICE IS NOT A REQUEST FOR COMPETITIVE QUOTES. The Government will consider all responses received within 5 days of the date of publication of this notice. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed action based on responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. Information received will be considered strictly for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. Inquiries will only be accepted by Fax at 303/445-6345 or e-mail at jcollins@do.usbr.gov. Responses should include the firm's Dun and Bradstreet (DUNS) and Tax Identification (TIN) numbers. Firms should identify themselves as either small business, or other than small business, in accordance with the size standard for North America Industrial Classification System (NAICS) Code 813920, which is 6 Million.
