About this file
This document is a Sole Source Justification from the City of North Miami Beach for the purchase of a Neptune Register from Ferguson US Holdings, Inc., with a specific focus on the Norwood Water Treatment Facility's Automated Meter Reading (AMR) system. The solicitation (Reference #SS-2025-033) was released on May 20, 2025, with a response deadline of May 28, 2025, at 3:00 pm. The procurement is for the installation and retrofit of a potable water AMR system, with Neptune Technology Group designated as the exclusive supplier of meters and materials, and Ferguson Waterworks identified as the sole authorized distributor of Neptune products in Florida.
The justification for the sole source procurement stems from the proprietary nature of the meters, which include a unique Itron ERT connector that makes them incompatible with alternative products. Due to the manufacturer's exclusive distribution arrangement and the need to maintain system compatibility, Ferguson is positioned as the only source capable of fulfilling the requirement without compromising operational integrity. The document emphasizes that this is not a traditional Request for Proposals, and any responses will be considered solely for determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement, under the authority of the City of North Miami Beach City Code Section 3-4.8.
