Notice of Intent - West Virginia Ordnance Works, Long Term Management of Operable Unit 1, 2, and 3

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), Louisville District, hereby provides a notice of its intent to award a sole-source contract modification to SRS-Alliant JV (CAGE: 866A1, UEI: C31QGN9M27Q7) under Contract No. W912QR21D0043, Delivery Order No. W912QR25FA020.

The Former West Virginia Ordnance Works is a Formerly Used Defense Site (FUDS) requiring ongoing Long-Term Management (LTM) for Operable Unit (OU) 1, OU-2, and OU-3. Current LTM activities include monitoring and sampling of groundwater, surface water, and sediment; reporting; and regulatory support in compliance with the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA).

The purpose of this modification is to procure environmental services at the Former West Virginia Ordnance Works (WVOW) Formerly Used Defense Site (FUDS). Due to unforeseen private land development at the site, several compliance groundwater monitoring wells in the Long-Term Management (LTM) network have become inaccessible. To ensure the project remains in compliance with its Record of Decisions, the following additional services are required:

1. Redevelopment of existing, inactive groundwater wells and construction of new well pads to serve as replacements in the LTM network.
2. Site and soil cover/cap maintenance (mowing).
3. Project document organization.

AUTHORITY AND JUSTIFICATION

This action is being procured pursuant to 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) as implemented by Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 6.103-1, Only One Responsible Source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements.

SRS-Alliant JV is the incumbent contractor currently performing the LTM services at the site. Awarding this requirement to any other source would result in:

1. Substantial Duplication of Cost: A new contractor would be required to replicate project management plans, safety plans, and quality control plans already developed by SRS-Alliant, resulting in a significant and unrecoverable duplication of cost to the Government.
