This is an Intent to Single Source document from the City of Tampa's Wastewater Department regarding Hydro Instruments Products and Service. The document outlines the city's intention to procure products and services from Hydro Instruments on a single-source basis, bypassing the competitive bidding process. The procurement covers Hydro Instruments' specialized equipment and related service offerings for wastewater operations. The document establishes the procedural basis for this non-competitive procurement approach and identifies Hydro Instruments as the sole source capable of meeting the city's specific technical requirements. No specific response dates, bidders' meetings, or award dates are detailed in this notice; rather, it serves as a formal declaration of intent to pursue single-source contracting with the identified vendor.

The single-source justification is based on Hydro Instruments' unique capability to provide the required products and services for the city's wastewater department operations. This approach allows the city to proceed directly with the vendor without soliciting competitive bids, provided that the single-source justification meets applicable procurement regulations and oversight requirements. The document does not specify pricing terms, contract duration, renewal options, or funding amounts in the summary materials, as these would be established through subsequent negotiations and contract execution between the City of Tampa and Hydro Instruments.
