By way of this Notice and in accordance with the provisions of FAR 6.302-1, the Chicago District, US Army Corps of Engineers, announces its intentions to award a sole source contract to Smith Root Incorporated (SRI) of 14014 NE Salmon Creek Avenue, Vancouver, Washington, for the purpose of acquiring the technical assistance and consultant services of SRI. Under the contract, SRI will be primarily responsible for providing technical assistance to the USACE during the Chicago District’s undertaking of the design and construction phases of the Chicago Sanitary and Ship Canal Aquatic Nuisance Species Electric Dispersal Barrier IIB. SRI is the only contractor that currently has the technical and management expertise needed to complement the mechanical and electrical systems of the Barrier. To its credit, SRI has a broad knowledge base in Dispersal Barriers. As a sole source provider to the Chicago District-USACE, SRI designed and built Barrier IIA; the proposed Barrier IIB will have identical functions and similar design features as Barrier IIA. The electrical components of these facilities (Barriers IIA and IIB) relate to one or more patents held by SRI, who maintains all licensing rights. As the design of Barrier IIB is developed, it will be critical to consult with SRI to insure that features are consistent with the functioning of the patented electrical components. The period of performance is for approximately 24 months (to include: one 12-month base period, with one 12-month option period). It is anticipated that the resultant contact will be a firm-fixed price contract. This notice does not constitute a solicitation for offers, proposals, etc. However, interested firms may send a capabilities statement NO LATER THAN the close of business on April 23, 2008. Statements should be sent to the attention of Anita Simpkins at [email protected]; ensure that the subject line of your email includes the title/description of this announcement. Award is anticipated on or about May 16, 2008. This announcement is in accordance with FAR 5.101(a)(1). The point of contact is Anita Simpkins at (312) 846-5372.
