NOTICE OF INTENT THIS IS FOR INFORMATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY. Under the authority of FAR 6.302-1, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Norfolk District, intends to award a contract, on a sole source basis, to Jones Lang LaSalle Inc. (the Original Appraisal and Survey Services Firm). This is a follow-on contract action updating original appraisals and surveys previously submitted, reviewed, and accepted by the Government. The quantity of work is approximately one revised survey map and up to six updated appraisals, if needed. The Government will save funds with this sole source action by having the existing contractor make the required modest edits needed in a short time horizon as opposed to awarding a contract to a new contractor that would result in a duplication of effort and contribute to unacceptable delays on the Deep Creek Bridge Replacement Project. Starting the work over is not in the Government's best interest and will not meet the project deadlines. This sole source contract action is required for completion of the following scope of work: Updating values in previously completed appraisals, performing minor edits to previously completed survey maps, providing court testimony on previously prepared appraisal reports in condemnation cases if required. All potential responsible sources may submit a capability statement, proposal, or quotation, which if timely received, will be considered by the agency.
