NOT - Sole Source Notice 2010

  • YEAR CREATED: 2010
  • ENTITY TYPE: State
  • TYPE OF DOCUMENT: NOT - Public Notice
The document is a notice of intent to make a non-competitive purchase of cloud seeding services by the North Dakota State Water Commission, Atmospheric Resource Board. The board is seeking to procure a contract for cloud seeding services for its 2010-2012 North Dakota Cloud Modification Project (NDCMP). The project is a cloud seeding program for hail suppression and rainfall enhancement conducted annually over six counties in western North Dakota. The board requires eight multi-engine cloud seeding aircraft, two for cloud-top seeding operations and six for cloud-base operations. The intended source for the services is Weather Modification, Incorporated, which has been the only licensed contractor with the state since 1975. The estimated cost for the three-year contract is $1,940,000. The document provides the justification for the non-competitive procurement, stating that there has not been a competing bid submitted since 1980 despite requests for bids from cloud seeding contractors in the US. The response deadline for vendors who believe they can provide the services is January 26, 2010.
