The existing contract must be used for the following reasons: 1) A detailed scope of work can not be prepared. The extent of the work and the resources needed can not be fully determined prior to starting the work, because conditions are different at each location 2) The contractor is responsible for the complete inspection, maintenance, and repair of all project buildings and structures in 10 recreation areas, three operations areas, and the Project Management Office. 3) The scheduling, coordination, quality assurance and/or subcontracting for the work to be performed are within the scope of the original contract technical provisions and must be accomplished under the terms of the existing contract.

The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) contain specific acquisition requirements that must be met when using funds appropriated by the Act. Acquisitions must comply with FAR, and to the maximum extent practicable, be awarded under competitive procedures as fixed-price (FP) contracts. The Mobile District intends to use the current CPAF contract to meet it requirements. The contract type was selected to provide the contractor with the greatest incentive for efficient and economical performance, given the types of services to be performed. Furthermore, the existing Operation and Maintenance contractor has experienced personnel that are already on site and ready to perform the work. Accordingly, it is deemed to be in the best interest of the government and in compliance with the goals of the Recovery Act to use the existing Operation and Maintenance contract to accomplish the requirements listed above.
