Incorporated by Reference: Rule 60A-1.045, F.A.C.

Estimated Dollar Amount:

$250,000

Justification for single source acquisition (what is necessary and unique about the product, service or source; steps taken to confirm unavailability of competition, as appropriate):

CPI has separate individual bladders within each chamber that can be changed in the field by

FWC employees in the event of puncture. Conventional air collars are a tube that holds air within a singular chamber and are not able to be repaired in the same manner. The CPI bladders if punctured or damaged will only lose air in a section at the time, and not the entirety of the vessel.

This will allow the vessel and officers to continue their job functions without the downtime needed to remove the vessel from the water. Individual bladders can be purchased in advance to give the ability to quickly repair or replace air bladder while vessel is still on the water mitigating the need to remove the vessel from the water for repair.

Approved By (names & titles, as appropriate, e.g., requestor, requestor management, information systems, budget, purchasing):

Rick Ulrich, Government Operations Consultant I

Daryl Matthews, Operations Management Consultant

Grant Burton, Major

Matthew Carroll, Purchasing Specialist Supervisor, Office of Executive Director

Rachel Korade, General Services Purchasing Manager, Office of Executive Director
