Description *

The Parks & Recreation Department is looking to refurbish the tree trunks of the soft play, stationary palm trees at the North Port

Aquatic Center. The center has been opened since 2019 and with continued use and exposure to the elements the amenities are in

need of refurbishment.

Section 2-407 of the City of North Port Procurement Code provides guidelines for determining if good(s) or service(s) is/are a sole/single source. All

Sole/Single source requests will be posted on DemandStar & the City’s Purchasing site for seven (7) calendar days.

Exemption Explanation (?) *

Since the amenities are a permanent feature, having a local company provide the service will avoid travel costs from an out of area

vendor.

Steps taken to verify these goods and/or services are not available elsewhere (?) *

A google search was done to look for local vendors as well as reaching out to the original vendor who installed the amenity, and are

located in Colorado. At this time they do not have anyone in-house that could travel to refurbish the items. They did not have any

alternate solutions for the repair except a possible vendor in Tennessee - which would also incur travel costs.

Other vendors that were contacted (?) *

Kalani Napoleon @SoftPlay (original vendor)

Grant? *

Yes No

Technology Related? (?) *

Yes Renewal No

Exemption

Reason *

Attach documentation from the manufacturer certifying the vendor selected is the only distributor/dealer/contractor for the products or services in question and/or holds the

production, unique capability, copyrights, trademark, and/or patent to the item, and check the following applicable statement(s):

Patent, copyright or unique design restrictions. (Sole Source)

Proprietary rights in technical data and/or product formulations (e.g. cleaning compounds, lubricating oils, paint, etc.), which can only be determined through

extensive laboratory analysis and examination. (Sole Source)

Only producer, such as utility supplier or construction material supplier, that will meet the specialized needs of the department or perform the intended function.

(Sole Source)

Direct replacement parts, equipment or supplies that must be compatible with original equipment already installed but available only from the original equipment

manufacturer. Most manufacturers have more than one dealer or distributor for their products. When this is the case, competition between dealers and/or

distributors may be possible, eliminating the “sole or single source” restriction. (Single Source)

When tests and/or demonstrations of equipment, supplies, part, etc. under actual operating conditions reveal superior quality, performance, design or other

characteristics in a brand product(s), which is available from only one source. Testing must be performed as often as practical. (Single Source)

Purchases for a brand product are to be made from one selected supplier, even though there are other suppliers that provide similar products. Options, such as

pricing, availability, servicing, have been vetted and a supplier has been chosen that best meets the City’s needs. (Single Source)

Maintenance, repair services or warranty which require specialized test equipment, procedures, and technical expertise available only from the original

equipment manufacturer or authorized/licensed dealer/field service representative. (Single Source)

The part(s)/equipment are required to permit standardization and operating efficiencies within the organization and the parts and equipment are only available

thorough a sole or single source. If competition is available, the parts and equipment must be competed. For brand-specific items, quotes should still be

obtained. (Standardization)

Other: None or some of the above apply. Provide detailed justification below.
