Title

A Resolution accepting a recommendation of the City Manager to waive the competitive process of the Procurement Code for the purchase of a Wastewater Pumps for Pump Station E from Barney’s Pumps Inc. as a “Sole Source Procurement”, pursuant to Section 2-689 of the City’s Procurement Code.

Body

The pumps at Pump Station E need replacement due to damage resulting from Hurricane Irma. 

 

This pump is a component of a larger pump station system that is specifically designed to operate within parameters which are unique to that station.  The pump that requires replacement is a 47 HP HOMA Pump Technology Inc. brand and must be replaced in-kind with the same brand. The replacement cost for this pump is $52,000. Any other brand will result in additional cost for design and other changes to the pump station system that would not be in the best interest of the City.

 

Barney’s Pumps, Inc.is the exclusive supplier of HOMA Pumps Technology, Inc. equipment for the State of Florida.

 

Under Section 2-689 of the Procurement Code, entitled “Sole Source Procurement,” an award may be made without competitive bids when there is only one source available to fulfill the needs of the City.
