This notice is not a request for competitive quotes. The Bureau of Reclamation, Great Plains Regional Office intends to award a security and surveillance contract to the Broadwater County Sheriff's Office for Canyon Ferry Dam and Reservoir located in Helena, Montana in Broadwater County. Reclamation has found the Broadwater County Sheriff's Office to be the only source with full arrest authority to successfully complete the required security and surveillance services.

The redacted version of the JOTFOC will be available within 7 days after award at the following web site: http://www.usbr.gov/mso/aamd/doing-business-acquisitions-noncompetitive.html The Government intends to award this requirement on or around May 1, 2012.
