There is NO solicitation. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, CGS Division in Portland, OR have a requirement at the Stillwater National Wildlife Refuge to replace old deteriorated water control structures located at the 3-way and 4-way bridges, and the Goose Lake Bypass Canal. Included is the replacement of a washed out CMP located under North Nutgrass Road, which is creating a safety hazard for the visiting public. The structures will consist of concrete flashboard risers with Hancor high density polyethylene (HDPE) pipe and will be installed by USFWS Refuge staff. Brigg's Manufacturing is the only known source that can currently meet agency requirements to supply concrete risers and HDPE pipe that meets engineering standards for this project. Brigg's has supplied materials for several Ducks Unlimited wetland restoration projects throughout California and Nevada and has an excellent reputation for providing high quality materials. The Service intends to award Sole Source to Brigg's Manufacturing. This synopsis is a notice of intent to issue award using other than full and open competition and is not a request for competitive proposals. The determination of the Government is not to open the subject requirement to full and open competition IAW FAR 6.302-1.
