M--Notice of Intent to Sole Source

Bridging Contract - HD Parking/Ticketing - Bridging Contract - HD Parking/Ticketing - The Bureau of Reclamation, Lower Colorado Region, (LCR), Boulder City, Nevada, intends to solicit and negotiate on a sole source basis, a firm-fixed price acquisition with Denison Parking Inc., operations of tour ticket sales and management of parking garage operations at Hoover Dam, Nevada. The inability to award a contract prior to the expiration of the current contract impacted the decision to restrict competition and resulted in the necessity to initiate a sole source bridge contract to the incumbent contractor.

The services provided under this contract are complex and involved and do not provide for the transfer of responsibilities easily. Additionally, Denison Parking Inc. personnel have completed and meet all the required security and identification requirements in order to work on site at Hoover Dam. The new 5 year contract will be a competitive solicitation and awarded during the performance period of the bridge contract. A Justification for Other than Full and Open Competition has been prepared in support of this acquisition.
