P--Sole Source, one time purchase of salvage service to remove one sunken barge from Ft Pierce Inlet, St Lucie County FL.

On February 25, 2015 SAJ-CT Contracting Office was notified of a sunken barge at Ft Pierce Inlet which was blocking the navigable channel. Emergency response was required for removal. SAJ-CT was informed that the inlet was shut down and the Coast Guard was not allowing passage to any ships. SAJ-CT was informed that a contractor named Resolve, Inc. was operating in the area under contract (BOA) HSCG84-13-A-M00002 Mod P00001 and was available for use on a time-and-materials basis. The BOA had established rates, which was considered in our decision to use this tool. Removal of the sunken barge would require the use of specialized equipment and our technical team determined that Resolve had the necessary equipment for this type work.
