About this file

The document is an Emergency Procurement Request from the Camino Real Regional Utility Authority (CRRUA) to the Dona Ana County Purchasing Department for the immediate procurement of a Trojan Tech UV Screen (PLC, HMI X2 EXTREME 7" HP SC) for the Sunland Park Wastewater Treatment Facility. The UV Screen is a critical component of the facility's UV system, which ensures the removal of harmful bacteria and proper sanitation of effluent discharged into the Rio Grande River. The existing UV Screen has malfunctioned, requiring an emergency procurement as Trojan Technologies is the sole manufacturer of this part. The request cites the urgency to avoid operational disruptions and potential regulatory issues, as the UV system is currently being manually operated which poses risks of system failure.

The supporting documents include a quotation from Trojan Technologies for the required UV Screen, PLC, programming services, and freight, totaling $7,318.88. CRRUA has cited the legal justification for this emergency procurement under New Mexico state law, which allows for the acquisition of goods and services needed immediately to control a serious threat to public health, safety, or the environment when the items cannot be obtained through normal procurement methods.

Emergency Procurement Request

Camino Real Regional Utility Authority is requesting the Purchasing Department for an emergency procurement of PLC, HMI X2 EXTREME 7" HP SC plus programing from Trojan Technologies.

Written authorization from Executive Director:

Approved via email, August 20, 2024 at 5:40 PM MST, attached.

Written justification of the basis for the emergency:

13-1-127. Emergency procurement; required conditions; limitations; notice.

A. The state purchasing agent or a central purchasing office may only make an emergency procurement when the service, construction or item of tangible personal property procured:

(1) is needed immediately to:

(a) control a serious threat to public health, welfare, safety or property caused by a flood, fire, epidemic, riot, act of terrorism, equipment failure or similar event; or

(b) plan or prepare for the response to a serious threat to public health, welfare, safety or property caused by a flood, fire, epidemic, riot, act of terrorism, equipment failure or similar event; and

(2) cannot be acquired through normal procurement methods

Emergency order for CRRUA Sunland Park Wastewater Treatment Facility This emergency directly impacts CRRUA staff, nearby residents of Sunland Park, NM, El Paso, TX and Ciudad Juárez, Chihuahua who live along the Rio Grande. The UV System is a critical component of the facility ensuring the removal of harmful bacteria and for the sanitation of effluent being discharged into the Rio Grande River. CRRUA is requesting an immediate purchase of the UV Lights and related seals for the Trojan System due to these lamps exceeding the 12,000 use hours (currently at 17,000 hours). Having the UV system go down would be a violation of EPA NPDES Permit # NM0031178 on CRRUA Wastewater facility which is currently under an Administrative Order by the EPA due to repairs needed for the rehabilitation of the plant.

Selection of the particular vendor:

The Camino Real Regional Utility Authority is requesting the procurement of goods provided by Trojan Technologies as an emergency procurement. This component is essential for the proper functioning of our UV System at the facility located at 1000 McNutt Rd, Sunland Park, NM 88063. CRRUA’s Certified Operator has identified that the existing Trojan Tech UV Screen has malfunctioned, rendering it inoperative. As Trojan Technologies is the sole manufacturer of this specific part, we are unable to source a replacement from any other provider. The UV Screen is critical for the treatment of effluent wastewater before it is released into the Rio Grande River.

Currently, the operational staff is manually running the UV System, which significantly increases runtime and accelerates the wear on other system components. This manual operation is not recommended and poses a risk of system failure, which could have serious environmental and operational consequences.

CRRUA searched for quotes for screen but informed DAC purchasing Trojan Technologies is the only source to provide the good and the programming.

Re: Emergency Procurement Request for OEM & Sole Source Trojan Tech UV Screen

Sunland Park Wastewater Treatment Facility, operated by CRRUA, urgently requires the procurement of an

OEM & Sole Source Trojan Tech UV Screen (PLC, HMI X2 EXTREME 7" HP SC). This component is essential for the proper functioning of our UV System at the facility located at 1000 McNutt Rd, Sunland Park, NM 88063.

As Trojan Technologies is the sole manufacturer of this specific part, we are unable to source a replacement from any other provider.

Currently, the operational staff is manually running the UV System, which significantly increases runtime and accelerates the wear on other system components. This manual operation is not recommended and poses a risk of system failure, which could have serious environmental and operational consequences.

Given the urgency of this situation, we request and emergency procurement be processed for the Trojan Tech

UV Screen. We appreciate your prompt attention to this matter to avoid further operational disruptions and potential regulatory issues.
