Notice of Sole Source Intent This notice is not a request for competitive quotes. The Bureau of Reclamation, Great Plains Regional Office intends to award a contract for Security Surveillance Patrol services for Chain of Lakes Recreation Area located in Ramsey County, North Dakota. Reclamation has authority to establish contracts with local law enforcement agencies to enforce state and local regulations, as appropriate. Reclamation has found the McLean County Sheriff's Office to be the only source with full arrest authority in order to successfully complete the required security and surveillance services.
