- Description
- This procurement has been approved for other than full and open competition under the authority of 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1), Federal Acquisition Regulation 6.302-1- Only One Responsible Source and No Other Supplies or Services Will Satisfy Agency Requirements. Highly specialized Architect-Engineering (AE) services to review and update their original design and perform Engineering during Construction services in support of Blair Street Bridge Construction are needed form Vaughn & Melton Consulting Engineers Incorporated (V&M). This work will require the AE firm to review and update the completed Blair Street Bridge design, prepare Engineering Considerations and Instructions for Field Personnel, prepare an Operation and Maintenance Manual, and submit a Design Documentation Report. V&M is the current designer of record and in order to maintain this status they must perform this review and update. It is against industry practice for an alternative AE to assume liability for another AE's design and this sole source contract will allow us to eliminate any issues with a second AE assuming AE liability for V&M's design. An alternative AE would request a lengthy review to verify the original drawing, equivalent to a redesign and a duplication of effort. While USACE will perform much of this review and oversight to ensure it meets contractual requirements, if design changes occur the designer of record must approve any changes or else they are no longer the designer of record. It is therefore in the best interests of the Government to obtain the services described above by procuring from V&M.
