About this file
This is a Procurement Exemption Notice issued by Pierce County Planning and Public Works Department for a sole source purchase of OEM maintenance and repair parts for the ABB Uvitec system at the Cascadia Treatment Plant. The county intends to procure these parts from Whitney Equipment, the authorized ABB Measurement & Analytics Industrial Instrumentation distributor for the Pacific Northwest region. The exemption is being granted based on sole source justification, as only OEM-manufactured replacement parts are compatible with the existing ABB Uvitec infrastructure at the Chambers Bay Wastewater Treatment Plant. The exemption will remain in place for 24 months from the date of approval.
The total estimated cost of purchases under this procurement exemption is $100,000 over the 24-month period. Entities wishing to protest this sole source determination must demonstrate authorization by the OEM to sell parts and maintenance for the ABB Uvitec system or the ability to provide parts and maintenance of matching specifications. Protests must be submitted through the OpenGov platform. Questions regarding this procurement may be directed to Andrew Robson at Pierce County Finance Department at (253) 798-7456 or andrew.robson@piercecountywa.gov. Whitney Equipment, established in 1971 and headquartered in Woodinville, Washington, maintains service coverage across Washington, Oregon, and parts of Idaho through its main and Vancouver offices.
