54--Provide and Install Dome Covers for Circular Fish Pools at the White River National Fish Hatchery, Bethel, VT

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service intends to award a sole source contract to HWP, LLC (Hansen Weatherport) for removal and replacement of existing 31' circular fish pool dome covers at the White River National Fish Hatchery located in Bethel, Vermont. The configuration of the steel structures and mode of attachment necessitate the use of only Hanson Weatherport covers. Market research shows that it is not feasible at this time to replace with another manufacturers framework and covers. Additionally, we have found that another manufacturer's material warranty is negated when applied to other manufacturer's framework. Any questions related to this procurement can be submitted in writing to; U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Contracting and General Services, 300 Westgate Center Drive, Hadley, MA 01035-9589, Attn: Christopher Murphy. My telephone number is 413-253-8235, and my fax number is 413-253-8450.
