Section A: General Contract Information

Is this a Bridge Action as defined in the AF Bridge Action Reduction Plan? Yes No

Contracting Activity: AEDC White Oak

Project/Program Name: Building 430 Sewage Ejector Pump Project

Purchase Request / Local ID Number:

Estimated Contract Cost (including Options):

Section B: Description of the Supplies/Services Required

The contractor shall supply all labor, equipment and materials to demo and remove and dispose of 2 existing vertical sewage pumps, and replace with 2 WEIL 2228 Vertical Sewage Pumps w/4” ANSI Discharge, 230/460 volt, intermediate bearings, 950 Series Iron Impellers, and 15hp motors.

Section C: Justification for Soliciting from a Single Source or Brand Name

The existing WEIL sewage pump system has several components which consist of pumps, control panel, wiring and piping. The specified WEIL 2228 vertical sewage pumps are direct replacements for the existing WEIL pumps. A direct replacement is recommended to cut cost. If a different pump manufacturer is selected the existing wiring, control panel and piping will have to be demolished and replaced which will increase the cost of the project . Therefore replacing the pumps with the same brand and type will be more cost effective.

Section D: Efforts to Obtain Competition

Market research did not reveal any alternative brands that will satisfy the requirement. Due to the circumstances stated above, the proposed brand name is the only known brand compatible with existing equipment.

Section E: Steps to Preclude Future Single Source or Brand Name Awards

AEDC will continue to engage with industry to ensure that all sewage pumps are considered for future awards.
