About this file
This is a Notice of Intent to Award a Single/Sole Source Procurement issued by the City of Bradenton, Florida for WRF Level Sensors and Controllers. The City intends to negotiate a sole-source contract exclusively with The Avanti Company for the specified equipment. Interested firms may submit written documentation of their capability to meet or exceed the stated requirements by July 1, 2026, at 10:00 AM, with responses due within seven business days of publication. The procurement is based on The Avanti Company's exclusive representation agreement with McCrometer, Inc., the sole manufacturer of the required flowmeters and sensing products for Florida, Alabama, and Georgia, a relationship that has existed since 1990. No formal solicitation is available, and responses will be evaluated solely to determine whether to proceed with competitive procurement; however, the City retains discretionary authority to cancel the sole-source designation and advertise a competitive solicitation if respondents demonstrate capability to supply substantially similar products or services.
The procurement documentation does not specify pricing terms, contract amounts, funding sources, or contract duration in the available materials. The Avanti Company's exclusive sole-source status is supported by a letter from McCrometer's Regional Sales Manager confirming the company as the authorized representative responsible for product sales, commissioning, field repairs, and calibrations. The sole-source letter remains in effect until further notice from the manufacturer. Responses should include the firm's name, address, point of contact, telephone number, email, and a statement of capability regarding the specified procurement requirements, submitted in writing via OpenGov. Questions regarding the procurement should be directed to Nicholas Toth, CPPB, Purchasing Analyst, at Nicholas.toth@bradentonfl.gov.
