Stiff-Legged Derrick Repair at Farallon Islands National Wildlife Refuge

Notice of Intent to Award a Sole Source Procurement Timberland Equipment Limited of Woodstock, Ontario, Canada The U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service (USFWS) in Portland Oregon intends to award a sole source fixed-price contract under authority of Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) subpart 6.302-1, other than full and open competition procedures and FAR Part 13, Simplified Acquisition Procedure, for the acquisition of Stiff-Legged Derrick repair and reinstallation for Farallon Islands National Wildlife Refuge, Newark, CA. Timberland Equipment Limited is the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) of the East Landing Stiff Legged Derrick and retained all exact OEM specifications pertaining to the Crane. Timberland Equipment Limited owns the rights to their specifications, which would not be available to a third party. This would result in any repairs or replication of equipment being conducted in a speculative manner, producing a less than optimal result. Timberland also has the ability for "in-house" sandblasting and galvanizing of the components, which will allow for a higher level quality control. The estimated value of this acquisition is $220,000.00 Any firm that believes it is capable of meeting the USFWS requirements described herein may submit a response no later than 01/20/2010, by close of business to be considered. Responses to this posting must be submitted in writing via e-mail only. A determination not to compete the described purchase order based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Federal Government. Any questions or comments should be directed to Frank Lee via e-mail at [email protected].
