About this file
This is a Sole Source Procurement Justification Form (MMO#102) submitted by the South Carolina Department of Transportation to the State Fiscal Accountability Authority on August 9, 2021, for the acquisition of equipment and services from Keystone Engineering. The agency seeks to procure the Keystone Engineering Flatliner Precision Grinding Attachment, a skid-steer mounted device designed to perform precision grinding on asphalt and concrete pavement at multiple locations throughout District Six. The Flatliner features 100% grinding tooth coverage, enabling it to function as both a profilograph and bump grinder in a single unit, addressing the agency's need to level bumps and irregularities on pavement at several high-profile locations. The vendor will supply the attachment, replacement teeth as needed due to wear and tear at an additional cost, and provide training for the agency's mechanics and operators upon initial delivery.
The justification for sole source procurement is based on market research confirming that the Keystone Engineering Flatliner is the only precision grinding skid-steer attachment available on the market that meets the agency's specific requirements. The agency determined that precision grinding represents a more economical solution compared to full-depth patching at each location, with solutions and proposed locations previously coordinated between District Six Maintenance and the Director of Materials office. The procurement was authorized by Madeleine Hendry, Acting Deputy Secretary for Finance and Administration. If the procurement value exceeds $50,000, the agency is required to obtain Drug-free Workplace certification from the vendor.

JUSTIFICATION FOR
SOLE SOURCE PROCUREMENT
Agency: South Carolina Department of Transportation
SoleSourceVendor: KeystoneEngineering
Basedupon the following determination, Agency proposes to acquire the supplies, construction, information technology, and/or servicesdescribed herein from the Vendor named above per S.c.Code Ann. §11-35-1560 and S.c. Regulation 19-445.2105, SoleSourceProcurement.
Description of the Agency need that this procurement meets: District Six has numerous locations that require precision grinding, several of which are high profile locations. The only alternative to using the Flatliner would be to do a full-depth patch at EACHlocation and, depending on the quality of the patch, may not eliminate the issues. These locations and the proposed solutions have been discussed between D6 Maintenance and the DOM office. It was agreed that precision grinding is a more economical solution than full-depth patching.
Description of market researchAgency performed to determine the availability of products or services that would meet the Agency's needs:The Keystone Engineering Flatliner Precision Grinding Attachment is the only precision grinding skid-steer attachment on the market. Unlike a typical milling attachment which grinds grooves into pavement, the Flatliner has 100% coverage by the grinding teeth which precisely levels bumps and other irregularities in asphalt and concrete pavement. It acts as a profilograph and bump grinder in one.
Description of supplies, construction, information technology, and/or servicesVendor will provide under the contract: Vendor will supply the attachment itself, replacement teeth asneeded from wear and tear (at an additional cost), and training for our mechanicsand operators upon initial delivery.
Detailed explanation why no other vendor's supplies, construction, information technology, and/or serviceswill meet the needs of the Agency: No other manufacturer hasa product that will act as both a profilograph and bump grinder in one. This is the only machine on the market that performs the tasks we need in D6.
