About this file
This is a Request for Information (RFI) supporting documentation issued by Broward County, Florida, regarding DeZurik/APCO valves, parts, and repair services. The RFI seeks to determine whether the specified commodity or service is available from multiple providers or if alternate products could meet the County's operational needs. The document establishes that Controls Specialties, Inc. is currently identified as the exclusive provider of DeZurik/APCO valves and related services. Broward County is requesting information from manufacturers or distributors capable of supplying DeZurik/APCO valves engineered to meet or exceed the requirements of a specific wastewater treatment process, equipped with electric actuators capable of direct SCADA communication, and able to provide comprehensive parts and repair services. Prospective vendors may submit responses and supporting documentation through an electronic bidding system, and the RFI will remain posted until the stated closing date and time.
The RFI explicitly states this is not a request for pricing or a purchase commitment. These valve components are essential for ensuring compliance with the State-issued wastewater disposal permit, with proven performance, compatibility, and reliability being critical to maintaining uninterrupted County operations. The Director of Purchasing retains sole authority in determining whether submitted alternatives are comparable to the specified commodity and meets the County's needs, with this decision not subject to objection, protest, or appeal. Single source designation for Fort Lauderdale, market survey requirements, and additional instructions are noted as not applicable to this solicitation.
