The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Mobile District (CESAM) intends to award a modification extending the option year four period of performance for a period not-to-exceed (NTE) one (1) year. Contract W91278-09-C-0020 was awarded as a cost plus award fee contract with a base year and four one (1) year options. The contractor is R&D Maintenance Services, Inc in Hennessey, OK. The contract was awarded as a small business set-aside under full and open competition procedures. The current period of performance covering Operation and Maintenance on the Tennessee-Tombigbee Waterway in AL and MS ends 08 October 2014. The revised period of performance may be extended through 08 October 2015. The program requirements are currently executed by technical provisions which provide general management, supervisor, labor, equipment, materials and replacement parts, transportation and supplies required to efficiently maintain the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Project sites along the Tennessee-Tombigbee Waterways. The project is a vital inland waterway that connects the north-flowing Tennessee River to the south-flowing Tombigbee River. The waterway extends from mile 217 on the BWT near Demopolis, Alabama, to mile 215 on the Tennessee River in the Pickwick Pool near the common boundary of Mississippi, Tennessee, and Alabama. The project is located in west central Alabama and northeastern Mississippi; Sumter, Greene, and Pickens Counties in Alabama, and Noxubee, Lowndes, Clay, Monroe, Itawamba, Prentiss, and Tishomingo Counties in Mississippi. With appropriate Government oversight, the Contractor will be responsible for planning and supervising the day-to-day activities of the contract's technical provision. The original technical provisions stating contract requirements remain unchanged. The contract currently has an overall estimated value of $46 million. It is the Government's intent to issue a NTE one (1) year extension estimated at $6 million revising the overall contract amount to an estimated $52 million. The Government intends to award the modification consistent with the terms identified within this announcement upon the basis of the authority provided in 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1) and implemented by FAR 6.302-1, only one responsible source and no other services will satisfy the requirement.
