2-SOLCON SS LETTER.pdf

This is a manufacturer authorization letter from Solcon Solutions, LLC verifying ICON Technologies' exclusive distributor and service provider status in Florida for Solcon variable frequency drive soft-start products (RVS-DX, RVS-DXM, RVS-AX, and HRVSDN models) in the water and wastewater industry. The letter confirms ICON Technologies as the sole authorized provider for both product sales and service delivery, including startup, repair, and replacement services for these specialized components used in water treatment and wastewater applications throughout Florida.

This authorization letter supports Hillsborough County's sole source procurement notice recommending award to SJ Electro Systems LLC for ICON, Solcon, and Yaskawa variable frequency drive products and services valued at $6,500,014.38 over a three-year contract term. The procurement includes replacement parts, turnkey retrofit services, repair services, and emergency repair capabilities for use at the County's water treatment plants, wastewater treatment facilities, and lift stations. The County justifies the sole source award under its Procurement Policy Section 3-205(2)(e) based on the vendor's exclusive authorization status, noting that replacing existing variable frequency drive systems with alternative equipment would require operational modifications, increase costs, and delay critical repairs.
