Justification for Soliciting to Single Source The purpose of this procurement is to diagnose and repair Infilco Trash Racks that have been installed at the Dwyer Pump Station. Infilco Degremont Inc. manufactured the trash racks and they were installed by a separate contractor (builders of the pump station). The trash racks have been damaged by Hurricane Katrina and are currently inoperable. An inspection was done to insure operation of the racks; however, the racks did not function correctly. As a result of the inspection, it has been determined that the first step in the repair of the trash racks is to insure the six (6) motors are working properly. This will help determine what additional repairs are necessary to complete refurbishment of the inoperable equipment. Infilco's knowledge as the manufacturer of this proprietary equipment makes them the only source reasonably available to repair/refurbish this equipment to ensure the ultimate operability of the trash racks. In accordance with FAR 13.106-1 (b)(1) - Soliciting from a Single Source, the Contracting Officer has determined that the circumstances of the contract action deem only one source reasonably available.
