Intent_to_Single_Source_for_Dezurik_Butterfly_Valves_and_Parts.pdf

The document is an Intent to Single Source (ISS) issued by the City of Tampa, Florida, specifically for the Water Department at the David L. Tippin Water Treatment Facility and Solids Process Facility. The procurement seeks to acquire DeZurik butterfly valves and parts through a single-source procurement method, with Fluid Control Specialties, Inc. identified as the sole authorized manufacturer's representative for DeZurik in Florida's water and wastewater industries. The document outlines the necessity of using genuine DeZurik valves and parts to ensure safe and reliable equipment operation, with a vendor response section requiring potential vendors to confirm their ability to provide the specified goods and upload documentation of their authorized vendor status.

The procurement is focused on maintaining equipment integrity by sourcing directly from the authorized representative, which suggests a specialized technical requirement that prevents competitive bidding. The single-source approach indicates that Fluid Control Specialties, Inc. has unique capabilities or exclusive rights to distribute these specific valve and parts products within Florida's water infrastructure market. The document does not specify quantities, pricing, or contract duration, but instead emphasizes the critical nature of using authentic manufacturer components for the water treatment facility's operational safety and reliability.
