About this file
This is a Standardization of Conditions and Circumstances form from the City of Tampa Parks and Recreation Department, seeking to purchase and install Lochinvar pool heaters for city pools. The document indicates a need to bid for two pool heaters, with potential for additional purchases based on future funding and needs. The City has been using Lochinvar pool heaters for 20 years, initially standardizing with a single source vendor in 2018, and now expanding to allow multiple vendors to supply their commercial pool heaters.
The standardization request highlights the benefits of continuing with Lochinvar heaters, including continuity in staff training, consistent repair processes, safety operations, and standardized inventory of parts and fittings. The form indicates that the product is now available from multiple sources, rather than being a single-source product. The purchasing department plans to proceed with a competitive bid process, with the potential for additional purchases contingent on future funding and departmental requirements. The document is dated with a request date of 8/28/2024 and a purchasing department action date of 9/12/24.

Conditions and special circumstances for the standardization. Please be specific:
The City of Tampa Parks and Recreation has been purchasing Lochinvar pool healers for the past 20 years with outstanding performance. Lochinvar heaters have been installed at all of our year round pools and were standardized in 2018 with a single source vendor. Since then Lochinvar has begun allowing other vendors to sell their commercial pool heaters. This standardization request is an update to only include the Lochinvar pool heaters.
As a result of using Lochinvar heaters city wide, we have gained continuity and applicable consistency in staff training for making repairs, safety and operation, and inventory of parts and fittings.
