About this file
This is a Justification for Sole Source Procurement form (MMO#102) submitted by the South Carolina Department of Transportation to the State Fiscal Accountability Authority dated August 9, 2021. The agency seeks to procure six aerial scaffolds (Hydra Platforms) from Anderson Hydra Platforms, the sole original equipment manufacturer of this equipment. The procurement is driven by a request from Districts 1 and 3 to support bridge maintenance crews. The agency determined that purchasing equipment would be more economical than continuing to rent units under the existing state contract. Anderson Hydra Platforms will provide certified operator training with certificates, pocket cards, hard hat stickers, 24/7 service support, operators manuals, parts manuals, a one-year warranty, and direct access to executive management.
The justification for sole source procurement is based on Anderson being the only original equipment manufacturer of Hydra Platform equipment; alternative options would require purchasing used units, which the agency does not intend to pursue. Madeleine Hendry, Acting Deputy Secretary for Finance and Administration, authorized the sole source determination. The agency notes that if the procurement exceeds $50,000, a Drug-free Workplace certification must be obtained from the vendor.
