Quick Summary
The Federal Bureau of Prisons (BOP), under the Department of Justice, has issued a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (JOFOC) for emergency asbestos demolition and debris removal services at the Federal Correctional Institution (FCI) Marion, IL. This sole-source procurement addresses urgent hazards from seven staff housing structures destroyed by a tornado.
Scope of Work
The required services are critical for restoring the site to a safe condition and preventing further environmental and occupational exposure to widespread asbestos-containing materials. Key tasks include:
- Wet demolition of remaining structural elements.
- Removal of asbestos-containing debris.
- Cleanup of scattered asbestos-containing material (ACM)-contaminated materials.
- Mastic removal.
- Asbestos air monitoring.
- EPA-required demolition notifications.
Contract Details
This procurement is conducted under FAR 6.103-2 (Unusual and Compelling Urgency). The total value is below the Simplified Acquisition Threshold, and FAR Part 12 applies. The emergency action is strictly limited to immediate hazard mitigation. Future reconstruction or follow-on environmental work will be competed to the maximum extent practicable.
Set-Aside
Not applicable, as this is a sole-source justification.
Award & Justification
This document is a justification for a sole-source award to Summit Environmental Services, Inc., not a solicitation for proposals. Summit Environmental Services, Inc. was identified as the only contractor capable of immediate mobilization to meet the urgent requirements, as other vendors contacted were unable to respond within the necessary timeframe. The Contracting Officer will determine the price fair and reasonable through comparison to historical pricing, independent estimates, and evaluation of labor, equipment, and disposal costs.
