Project Description: Notice of Intent to Designate Sole Source/Sole Brand:
This Request for Information (RFI) (Notice of Intent to Designate a Sole Source is to determine if the specified commodity or service is available from multiple providers, or if an alternate commodity or service is available that would meet the County’s needs. This is not a request for pricing or a purchase commitment.
The following commodity or service is thought to be available from only a sole source (or reasonable source) and is the only commodity/services that meets the County’s needs:
The Boilers are proprietary to Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM), Hurst Boiler & Welding Co., Inc. (Hurst), and must be repaired by Hurst's certified contractor, Engineered Energy Equipment. The continuous operation of the Hurst boiler units at North Regional Water and Wastewater Treatment Plant (NRWWTP) is crucial to support anaerobic digestion heating of the digester. The boilers heat water, which is then circulated through heat exchangers to transfer heat to the sludge within the anaerobic digester tanks. This equipment must be in optimum working condition to ensure that the process is not interrupted due to equipment failure and preventive maintenance must be performed per OEM recommendations and by manufacturer-authorized contractors for warranties to remain valid. The loss of critical equipment presents a credible risk of facility non-compliance, and systematic break down of environmentally safe wastewater disposal.
This RFI will remain posted until closing date and time.
Prospective Vendors are requested to provide information regarding their ability to provide the commodity or service described or written explanation or other documentation contesting the proposed RFI designation.
If you are capable of meeting or exceeding the County’s requirements for the specified commodity or service, respond to this RFI through the electronic bidding system. Vendor should upload any supporting information in the electronic bidding system as part of its response to assist the County in determining if commodity or service is comparable, is available from multiple suppliers, and meets the County’s needs. The Director of Purchasing shall have sole authority in deciding what is comparable.
The Director of Purchasing shall consider such submittals and notify all submitting vendors (thru the electronic bidding system) of the decision whether to designate as a Sole Source/Brand, which decision shall not be subject to objection, protest, or appeal.
