Z -- WHOLEHOUSE IMPROVEMENTS TO FY68 HOUSING UNITS AT JACKSON PARK HOUSING AREA, BREMERTON, WA SOL N44255-96-C-0143 POC Jackie Korchak, Contract Specialist, (360) 396-0234/Catherine J. Collins, Contracting Officer, (360) 396-0234. Under authority of FAR 6.302-1, 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1), the Engineering Field Activity, Northwest, intends to award a sole source contract to Johnson Controls World Services, Inc. (JC) for Wholehouse Improvements to FY68 Housing Units (100) at Jackson Park Housing Area, Bremerton, WA. This is not a request for proposal. The construction contract for the wholehouse improvements to the FY70 housing units at Jackson Park, which are part of the same A-E design and are virtually identical to the units which are the subject of this procurement, was awarded through full and open competition to JC. The Government has determined that awarding the contract for the FY68 units to a contractor other than JC would result in substantial duplication of cost to the Government and would considerably increase the time of performance. These savings are not expected to be recovered through competition. Some of these savings include, but are not limited to, waiving the requirement for the model units, the model building, the model site and submittals because JC has completed and received approval of these items, material quantity discounts, site (soils) balancing, and orderly and coordinated vacating of units, saving moving costs. If another firm believes it can perform the services required under this contract with equal or greater dollar and time savings than anticipated by the Government by going sole source, they need to demonstrate so to the Government. Your documentation should be submitted to Engineering Field Activity, NW, Attn: Code T2JK, 19917 -- 7th Ave. NE, Poulsbo, WA 98370-7570 no later than 4:00 pm local time within 30 days after this notice is published in the Commerce Business Daily. The work required under this contract includes all labor, supervision, materials and equipment required to complete the whole site improvements including demolition, clearing, asbestos removal, potentially hazardous paint work, earthwork, soil disposal, asphalt concrete, storm drainage, play equipment, site furnishings, landscaping, concrete, carpentry, insulation, asphalt shingles, doors, windows, skylights, interior finishes, painting, specialties, kitchen equipment, cabinets, window blinds, plumbing, ductwork, electrical and incidental related work. Additionally, model units, a model building and a model site must also be completed and accepted by the Government before any other work is started or materials for the other units are ordered. During performance of this work, asbestos, hazardous waste, or pollution abatement may be encountered. No other technical information will be given. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed contract based on responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. (0035)
