AI Contract Overview

The National Park Service’s Denver Service Center intends to award a sole source contract to WSP USA Solutions Inc. for architect-engineer (AE) Title III services related to wetlands restoration at the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area in Bushkill, Pennsylvania. This decision is made under FAR authority 6.302-1, as WSP USA is the only responsible source capable of fulfilling the agency's requirements due to their prior role as the designer of record under a recently expired A/E IDIQ contract. Their unique knowledge and prior work on the project would prevent costly duplication and delays that would result from engaging another firm. The agency has provided a 15-day period for responses or capability statements from other responsible sources before awarding the contract. The requirement focuses on AE Title III services necessary to complete the wetlands restoration design and ensure continuity in project execution. The estimated costs exceed the simplified acquisition threshold, with an anticipated award date of December 29, 2020. This sole source action is justified by the need to avoid significant delays and additional expenses, as a new contractor would need to replicate extensive design efforts already performed by WSP USA. The contract, managed by the Department of the Interior's Dsc Contracting Services Division based in Denver, CO, adheres to the Brooks Act procedures, reinforcing WSP USA’s unique position to fulfill the project’s critical requirements.

Full Description

Notice of intent to solicit and negotiate with only one source under the authority of 6.302. In accordance with FAR 5.203(a), the NPS hereby allows a 15-day response time from the date this notice is posted before issuance of award for architect-engineer services. All responsible sources may submit a capability statement, proposal, or quotation, which shall be considered by the agency. The National Park Service, Denver Service Center, 12795 W. Alameda Pkwy, Lakewood, CO 80227 intends to solicit and negotiate a sole source requirement with WSP USA Solutions Inc., 1250 23rd St NW 3rd Fl, Washington, DC, 20037, under the FAR Authority 6.302-1 Only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements. The requirement is for AE Title III Services for the Wetlands Restoration at the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area, Bushkill, PA. The requirement is for architect and engineering services to provide AE Title III Services for the Project. WSP USA Solutions Inc. was selected the designer of record in accordance with Brooks Act procedures and previously furnished services under a recently expired A/E IDIQ contract. As the designer of record, this is the only firm with knowledge and information to perform required follow-on services while also maintaining contractual responsibility as the designer of record. Another firm would be required to duplicate the entire design effort, creating unnecessary and substantial delays and costs to the Government that are not warranted or recoverable. The time it would take a new firm to design the restorations would create unacceptable delays in fulfilling the agency's requirements. The estimated costs are above the simplified acquisition threshold and award is expected to be completed on December 29, 2020.
