Quick Summary
The National Park Service (Department of the Interior) has issued a Sole Source Award to Busch Bros Elevator Co., a small business, for Elevator Repair services at the William Howard Taft National Historic Site. The contract is valued at $7,131.00. This award addresses urgent and compelling circumstances to restore access for non-ambulatory visitors.
Scope of Work
The awarded services include the provision of proprietary Inclinator elevator replacement parts and installation labor. The primary objective is to repair the elevator, which is the sole means for non-ambulatory individuals to access the upper stories of the historic house, thereby restoring full visitor access and experience.
Contract & Justification
- Type: Sole Source Award (Other Than Full and Open Competition)
- Value: $7,131.00
- Awardee: Busch Bros Elevator Co. (Small Business)
- Regulation: FAR 13.106-1
- Rationale: The procurement was justified due to urgent and compelling circumstances. The elevator's inoperability limited visitor access and experience at the historic site. Market research confirmed that Busch Brothers Elevator Co. is the only service company authorized to service the proprietary Inclinator Elevator Company equipment in the Southwest Ohio region. Other local companies are not authorized for this specialized equipment.
