1. Nature and/or description of the item/service being procured and its intended use (include the anticipated cost):

Urgent repairs to domestic water backflow devices

2. Sole Source Justification rationale (Check one and explain below):

______ Only one responsible source.

___X__ Urgent and compelling circumstances exist. Include critical delivery or performance dates, and when you became aware of the requirement. Provide a specific statement of the impact on Government operations, financial or otherwise, if the required delivery or performance dates are not met.

______ Other

Explain: There are four (4) domestic backflow devices that failed inspection. The local water authorities (Hudson and Akron) are aware of the situation, and we must repair these devices immediately or they will shut down our water supply in fear of contaminating the entire water supply.

3. Market Research. Please explain the results or why one was not performed. State whether any other offers were received or anyone expressed interest:

The required annual inspection was performed under contract by a local vendor, they discovered the problem. This contractor has given an estimate to repair the devices. The estimate is broken down by labor hours and material. The repair kit costs are like online pricing and labor rates are in line with the original contract. The cost to repair each device is fair.
