Intent_to_Single_Source_for_Plattco_Corporation_Replacement_Parts_and_Components.pdf

This is an Intent to Single Source document issued by the City of Tampa Solid Waste & Environmental Program Management Department for the procurement of Plattco Corporation replacement parts and components for the McKay Bay Waste to Energy (WTE) Facility. The procurement encompasses OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) parts and components specifically designed for the facility's existing valve systems, which include 24 fabric filter double dump valves, 16 super heat single dump valves, and 4 SDA slide gate valve sets currently in operation. The single source justification is based on the requirement that only OEM parts and components can provide satisfactory repairs to these specialized valves, with Plattco Corporation being the sole distributor and direct marketer of these products.

The procurement is justified under single source authority due to the technical specifications and compatibility requirements unique to the WTE facility's equipment. Plattco Corporation's status as the exclusive OEM distributor eliminates the ability to obtain equivalent replacement parts from alternative sources, making competitive bidding impracticable. No specific pricing, contract term, award date, or response deadline information is provided in this intent notice, which serves primarily to document the City's rationale for proceeding with a non-competitive procurement action with the sole qualified supplier.
