About this file
This is a Sole Source Certification document filed by the City of Dania Beach, Florida, Department of Public Services, requesting approval for a sole source purchase of Vac-Con truck parts and services from Southern Sewer. The procurement covers a major repair to one Vac-Con truck estimated at $85,000, along with necessary maintenance and repair parts for another Vac-Con truck, with a combined cost estimate of $115,000. The service date range is not specified in the documentation. The city intends to negotiate and award a purchase order or contract directly to Southern Sewer in accordance with Florida State Statute 287.057(3)(c), which permits exemption from competitive solicitation for goods or services available only from a single source.
The total cost estimate for this sole source purchase is $115,000, which exceeds the $10,000 threshold requiring City Manager approval. Southern Sewer has been identified as the sole provider of Vac-Con parts and service in Florida for over thirty years, and the justification for sole source status is based on the unavailability of equivalent pricing and products from alternative vendors. The requestor, Yamil Lobo, submitted the certification on January 8, 2026. The sole source determination is not effective until the certification has been electronically posted for fifteen business days without challenge and subsequently approved in writing by the appropriate authority. The document includes signature lines for the Department Director, Finance Director, and City Manager approval, though the actual signatures and approval dates are not visible in the certification provided.
