- Description
- The Internal Revenue Service intends enter into a non-competitive interim (bridge) contract with incumbent contractor, Four Seasons Environmental, Inc, 43 New Garver Road, Monroe, OH 45050 for Facility Operation and Maintenance (O&M) of HVAC systems, building structures, and other systems required for the continuous operation of the Atlanta Tax Submissions Processing Center (ATSPC), located at 4800 Buford Hwy, Chamblee, GA. The proposed contract action is for supplies and services for which the Government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source under the authority of FAR 6.302-1 – Only One Responsible Source and no Other Supplies or Services will Satisfy Agency Requirements. The NAICS is 561210, and Small Business Size Standard is $35.5M annual receipts. Preparation of a competitive solicitation for award of a new long-term contract for Facility O&M services at ATSPC has begun. However, the competitive follow-on contract action is still in the pre-solicitation phase; Facility O&M services must be maintained without disruption during the interim period until the new follow-on contract is awarded. Continuity of the services is imperative for the reasons explained below. This interim (bridge) contract is issued for the period beginning 7/1/2011 through 9/30/2011, plus options to extend the contract term through 6/30/2012, as needed, pending award of the new follow-on contract, which is anticipated for award on or about March 2012. The interim contract term (base plus two options) totals 12 months. Four Seasons Environmental, Inc has performed O&M services for over five years at this location and has the required expertise and experience to provide necessary uninterrupted services. Incoming Facility O&M contractor(s) require time to become familiar with ATSPC’s aging and sometimes obsolete building systems, their operation, and maintenance; obtain required IRS background clearances; obtain training; etc., which is typically accomplished during the 60-day contract start-up or phase-in period prior to the contract effective date. Awarding the interim contract to other than the incumbent contractor heightens the Government’s risk of encountering performance problems, or major system problems at this IRS center responsible for serving thousands of IRS employees throughout the southeast. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals or a solicitation of offers. No solicitation document is available. Interested parties may submit their interest and ability to meet IRS needs. However, responses received by noon May 16, 2011as a result of this notice of intent will be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. A determination by IRS not to open this requirement to competition based upon any written responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of IRS. For information regarding this notice, contact Linda Bender, Contract Specialist, via fax: 404-338-9210 or email: Linda.Bender@irs.gov by e-mail. Telephone inquiries will not be honored or acknowledged.
