This is an Exemption Revision Form and Sole Source Form from Sarasota County's Public Utilities Department for renewing a sole source procurement with CL2 Solutions LLC for YSI IQ SensorNet wireless monitoring equipment. The procurement covers YSI IQ SensorNet wireless monitoring equipment for utility tanks, including detection electrodes, digital probes, and radio telemetry module units for wireless communications. The monitoring equipment is used at utility treatment plants to detect chemical levels in utility tanks, with each tank having a YSI sensor connected to a central dock inside the main office. The contract is being renewed for a three-year period from 11/17/2024 to 11/16/2027, with no changes to the estimated expenditure amount.

The estimated annual expenditure for this sole source procurement is $150,000, with a range not to exceed $150,000 per fiscal year. CL2 Solutions LLC is identified as the exclusive authorized representative of YSI for these specialty products in Florida, specifically for municipal wastewater, industrial wastewater, and municipal drinking water markets. The justification for sole source status is that CL2 Solutions is the only authorized vendor or distributor, and the County already uses this monitoring equipment across its utility treatment plants. The procurement is designed to ensure continued maintenance and potential replacement of the existing system network, with all YSI sensors, docks, and ancillary equipment already integrated at each site.
