If no affirmative written response is received, the service contract will be awarded without further notice. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Albuquerque District (SPA) intends to award a contract for the modification of the existing AfterWildfireNM.org web portal. This web portal was originally developed in by the New Mexico Forestry Department, SPA, and other partners. It is a well-organized, central repository of easily-accessible and up-to-date information for impacted communities. This complex, database-driven website is designed as a portal that provides communities with a single entry point into a large array of state and federal programs that can assist communities to recover, protect both public and private land from severe post-fire flooding, and guide communities in possible means of restoring upstream, fire-altered watersheds. The service provided by AfterWildfireNM.org is unique and critical. Our intent is to award a Sole Source contract to the Ferguson Lynch, LLC. Per FAR 6.302-1(b)(1)(i), Ferguson Lynch, LLC. has inherent knowledge of the AfterWildfire.org Website. This website is currently being hosted and maintained by Ferguson Lynch, LLC. To date, all website programming has been completed by Ferguson Lynch, LLC. This contractor is currently hosting and maintaining this website under a New Mexico State Forestry contract, which is valid for another year. Our intent to sole source to Ferguson Lynch, LLC. is due to their inherent knowledge of the existing website and their proven excellence under the New Mexico State Forestry contract. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed requirement is based upon the fact that Ferguson Lynch, LLC. meets the requirement as dictated under FAR 6.302-1. Detailed capabilities of interested vendors must be submitted to the following email addresses no later than 3:00 PM (Mountain Time) 06 February 2015, contact@example.gov.
