Intent_to_Single_Source_for_Dezurik_Butterfly_Valves_and_Parts.pdf

The document is an Intent to Single Source (ISS) from the City of Tampa, Florida, specifically involving the David L. Tippin Water Treatment Facility and Solids Process Facility. The procurement seeks to acquire genuine DeZurik butterfly valves and valve parts through a single-source 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 procurement process, requiring potential vendors to confirm their ability to provide the requested goods and upload documentation of their authorized vendor status.

The estimated 12-month procurement cost is approximately $50,000, covering the acquisition of DeZurik butterfly valves and parts. The single-source approach is justified by the critical need to ensure safe and reliable equipment operation through the use of genuine manufacturer components. The procurement appears to have no specific set-aside designations and is limited to Florida, with exceptions for ten specific counties. Supporting documentation includes a manufacturer's letter verifying Fluid Control Specialties, Inc.'s exclusive representation, emphasizing the specialized nature of the infrastructure components and the importance of maintaining operational safety and reliability in water treatment facilities.
