The services to be acquired under this intended contract action are necessary to complete the efforts begun under the above listed task order. The current proposed contract is for Building 31 only. The follow-on design contract and subsequent construction contract for the Building 32 roof repair were separately awarded in Fiscal Years 2024 and 2025 respectively. This Notice of Intent is published in accordance with FAR 5.201. All responses received within 15 calendar days of posting this notice will be considered by the Government. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed contract base on responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. Information received will be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. Woolpert-RS&H LLC is the Designer of Record for the original design of the DSCR Building 31 Roof Repair. The separate construction contract will be executed using a Design-Bid-Build (DBB) delivery method. The services to be acquired under this contract will be completed in accordance with all applicable engineering requirements and consistent with the design intent reflected in the construction documents previously prepared by the DOR. The work performed under the intended contract action represents a continuation of the services originally provided by Woolpert RS&H LLC, ensuring consistent application of the DOR’s design intent and maintaining DOR responsibility throughout the construction phase. Because Woolpert RS&H LLC possesses extensive project-specific knowledge, experience, and expertise, awarding the intended contract to another firm would introduce significant risks, including: Increased costs due to revalidation of design and calculations Potential project delays while a new firm familiarizes itself with the existing design Loss of design continuity and technical inconsistencies As a result, Woolpert RS&H LLC is the only firm capable of performing these services without unacceptable duplication of effort, cost, or delay.
