This document is an Exemption Revision Form and Sole Source Form from Sarasota County Public Utilities for renewing a sole source procurement with FJ Nugent & Associates Inc. The procurement is for Vaughan Company manufactured Chopper and Triton centrifugal pumps, parts, and service, specifically for units under warranty and for the County's pump and motor maintenance service contracts. The contract will be renewed for a three-year period from 04/06/2025 through 04/05/2028, with no change to the estimated expenditure amount.

The estimated annual expenditure is $50,000.00, with a total expenditure range not to exceed $150,000. FJ Nugent & Associates Inc. is the authorized and appointed representative for Vaughan Company in the State of Florida for sales, service, and parts. The pumps are specialized for handling thick sludges, large or stringy solids, shear sensitive fluids, and delicate or highly abrasive materials flowing through collection systems. The county determined that changing to another system would require a complete redesign, and the current pumps have specific product compatibility with existing equipment, justifying the sole source procurement.
