About this file

This is an internal email communication chain from Pinellas County Utilities Department regarding the renewal of a sole source contract for sewer inspection equipment replacement parts, repairs, and software maintenance services. The contract (21-0038-N-BW, BPA 442958) is with CUES Inc., an Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) of CCTV equipment and related components. The current contract expires on January 31, 2026, with a proposed one-year renewal extending through January 31, 2027. The county requires genuine CUES Inc. OEM equipment, replacement parts, services, and Granite Net Sewer Software maintenance and support that are directly compatible with existing county infrastructure. Key correspondence dates indicate that Pinellas County initiated renewal discussions with CUES in early October 2025, requesting updated service quotes and sole source justification documentation. The Notice of Intent to Sole Source (Contract No. 26-0099-N) requires interested contractors to submit responses via OpenGov by Tuesday, November 28, 2025, at 3:00 pm.

The contract carries a budgeted allocation of $130,000.00 for FY26, with an additional $36,924.41 already encumbered on FY25 Purchase Order 465587. As of the correspondence date, $23,862.22 remained available on the existing contract. CUES Inc. is the incumbent sole source provider, having maintained this relationship with Pinellas County since July 18, 2006. The sole source justification is based on CUES Inc. being the exclusive manufacturer of compatible equipment and the only authorized provider of genuine replacement parts and technical support services for the county's existing sewer inspection systems. The procurement is classified under NIGP code 89064, with no apparent set-aside designations or organizational restrictions for responding vendors. County staff determined that additional funding would be necessary to sustain operations through the proposed renewal period ending January 31, 2027.
