Quick Summary
The National Park Service (NPS), under the Department of the Interior, has issued a Justification & Approval (J&A) for a sole-source procurement to replace two failed hydronic boilers at the Lodgepole Visitor Center in Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks, CA. This action is deemed urgent and compelling due to the critical failure of both existing boilers, posing a significant risk of freeze damage and facility closure at 6,700 ft elevation. The estimated cost for this replacement is $117,480. This is a justification document, not a solicitation for proposals.
Purpose & Justification
The J&A outlines the necessity for a brand-name, limited-source procurement of two (2) Laars NeoTherm NTH-285PXX3 hydronic boilers. The existing boilers, also Teledyne Laars NeoTherm NTH-285PXX3 models, have both failed, creating an urgent need for replacement to prevent catastrophic damage and operational disruption. Market research indicated that no other manufacturers produce a direct replacement compatible with the existing infrastructure (gas, venting, hydronic, electrical, and control systems) without significant and costly reconfiguration, which would cause unacceptable delays.
Scope of Work
The requirement is for the direct replacement of the two failed Teledyne Laars NeoTherm NTH-285PXX3 hydronic boilers. The new units must seamlessly integrate with the existing building systems to ensure immediate restoration of heating services.
