This is a sole source procurement IAW FAR 6.302-1 and 10 U.S.C. 2304 (c)(1). An approved justification and approval is on file in Contracting Division. The Huntington District intends to negotiate a contract with Evans, Mechwart, Hambleton & Tilton (EMH&T) to complete portions of the Mason Run Watershed (Whitehall) Special Study. A storm water improvement study for the Mason Run Watershed was completed by EMH&T in June 2006 under the Section 594 Environmental Infrastructure program. In this study, EMH&T refined the hydraulic and hydrologic models for the entire watershed and also determined the locations within the watershed where the flows were contributing to flooding in the city of Whitehall. The majority of the emphasis for this work will be a continuance of the Hydrological and Hydraulic modeling of the Mason Run Watershed. EMH&T will be asked to develop different flood reduction measures focusing primarily on detention within the watershed and will be required to work closely with the City o f Whitehall, Columbus, Defense Supply Center Columbus (DSCC) and the Columbus Airport Authority. The planning portion of the study will be completed primarily by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers; however most of the engineering analysis and a significant portion of the coordination with local interests will be completed by the contractor.
