Award Details Contract Award Date: Dec 01, 2022 Contract Award Number: 80MSFC23DA005 Task/Delivery Order Number: Contractor Awarded Unique Entity ID: MKCAUUG2K7H6 Contractor Awarded Name: JACOBS ENGINEERING GROUP INC Contractor Awarded Address: Dallas, TX 75201 USA Base and All Options Value (Total Contract Value): $92456581.00 NASA MSFC has a requirement for continuation of Architect-Engineer (A-E) Environmental Engineering Services at Santa Susana Field Laboratory (SSFL) located in Ventura County, California for environmental remediation, compliance, and monitoring services at SSFL. NASA MSFC intends to procure these services from Jacobs Engineering pursuant to FAR 6.302-1(a)(1), which implements the authority of 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1), when an Agency's need for supplies or services is available from only one responsible source that will satisfy Agency requirements and FAR 6.302-1(a)(2)(iii)(B), unacceptable delays in fulfilling the Agency's requirements. For over fifty years, the SSFL was utilized for the development, test and validation of various rockets engines, fuels, and solvents. The fuels and solvents were used to test and maintain the propulsion systems and testing facilities which have over the years collected in the ground water and caused contamination. Federal and State environmental laws require remediation of the affected areas followed by a period of monitoring. California law requires that remediation be sustained, without cessation, through completion. This effort will provide professional engineering with experience in investigation and clean-up, natural resources specialists, cultural resources specialists, chemists, risk assessors, community relations specialists, hydrogeologists, regulatory compliance, remediation services needed to maintain compliance with state and federal environmental regulations and respond to legally enforceable Consent Orders signed with Department of Toxic Substance Control (DTSC). Competition is impractical for the following reasons: Jacobs has successfully established trusted and respected relationships with remediation regulators, namely DTSC, Los Angeles Regional Water Quality Control Board (LARWQCB), U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Region 9, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, California Department of Fish and Wildlife, Ventura County Certified Unified Program Agency (CUPA) [a.k.a. Hazardous Materials Program], Ventura County Air Pollution Control District, and Ventura County Planning Department. These relationships are essential prerequisites to NASA achieving the remediation standards and requirements. Jacobs holds historical, relevant, institutional knowledge and competence that is exclusively unique to NASA's SSFL remediation circumstances. Moreover, Jacobs' personnel have seasoned relationships with the regulator's technical staff, which facilitates effective, expeditious communication since expectations and objectives are well known and understood. It would take years to re-develop the relationships with the regulators and for a new teamto fully learn: (1) the data from prior sampling and analysis, (2) the nature and extent ofthe contamination, and (3) the feasibility of specific cleanup technologies suitable toSSFL conditions. Award to any other contractor would cause NASA to incurunacceptable delays to performance and schedule while duplicating cost in many areas,jeopardizing the goal of achieving an agreed upon remediation standard with DTSC.
