This document is a Single Source Certificate form from the City of Tampa, specifically for the Howard F. Curren Advanced Wastewater Treatment (AWT) Plant, requesting to procure Hydro Instruments products and services through Guardian Equipment, Inc. The document details the need to replace existing chlorine and sulfur dioxide equipment to meet NPDES Permit requirements for disinfection and dechlorination, with the current plant configuration involving 4 chlorine evaporators, 5 chlorinators, 3 SO2 evaporators, and 3 sulfonators.

Guardian Equipment, Inc. is identified as the exclusive representative for Hydro Instruments in Florida, which necessitates a single source procurement approach. Replacing the equipment would require changing out 3, 4, or 5 units of each type and reconfiguring piping and controls, making it impractical to use another manufacturer's equipment. The form is intended to be submitted to the Purchasing Department for consideration and approval, highlighting the specific technical and logistical challenges that justify the single source selection for this specialized wastewater treatment equipment.
