About this file
This document is a Sole-Source Determination and Justification for the procurement of water flow measuring equipment by the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife (ODFW). The justification is made pursuant to Oregon Revised Statute (ORS) 279B.075 and Oregon Administrative Rule (OAR) 125-247-0275. The requested items include 3 acoustic doppler velocimeters (FlowTracker 2), 1 Real-Time Kinematic (RTK) GPS upgrade kit for an existing acoustic doppler current profiler (ADCP), and 1 autonomous vehicle (rQPOD) for the existing ADCP unit, all of which are manufactured by Sontek. The purpose is to expand ODFW's current water data collection capabilities, as the new equipment is compatible with and will integrate seamlessly with their existing Sontek products, allowing for consistent data collection and analysis procedures.
The estimated cost for the sole-source procurement is $60,761. The justification cites compatibility, exchange of software or data, and the need for a pilot or experimental project as the reasons for the sole-source determination, as well as the unique design, availability, and exclusive authorized representation of the Sontek products. This sole-source solicitation will result in a Purchase Order for the water flow measuring equipment, which will be used by the Habitat Division in ODFW's Headquarters Office, serving the jurisdictions of Marion County and the City of Salem.

SOLE-SOURCE DETERMINATION & JUSTIFICATION
FOR SUPPLIES AND SERVICES
To: Contract Services
From: Spencer Sawaske Date: 3/9/23
Sole Source Determination pursuant to Oregon Revised Statute (ORS) 279B.075 and Oregon Administrative Rule (OAR) 125-247-0275 for:
Description of Goods or Services:
3 acoustic doppler velocimeters(FlowTracker 2), 1 Real-Time Kinematic RTK) gps upgrade kit to an existing acoustic doppler current profiler(ADCP) 1 autonomous vehicle(rQPOD) for our existing ADCP unit.
All products are manufactured by Sontek. Please see the attached quote for specific model numbers and other specifics.
Reason for Need:
Expansion of current water data collection capabilities. We currently have several Sontek products and these new items are compatible and will allow for consistent data collection and analysis procedures.
The RTK unit will provide increased gps accuracy and the rQPOD will allow for data collection through remote control – both of which are needed capabilities for future study designs.
Single of Multiple Purchases:
Single purchase of multiple items.
Estimated Cost:
60,761
Research Leading to Determination:
• Source of the information - Internet searches, discussions with manufactures
• Supporting Documentation – Please find sole-source documentation from Sontek
• Compatibility - Current analysis and data formatting procedures are based on Sontek file types. This new equipment will easily be integrated into our existing processing procedures and computer codes developed for use with Sontek file types.
Analysis of Research / Findings of Fact:
Pursuant to OAR 125-247-0275(2)(a): Compatibility.
Sontek is the only manufacturer of these products that will meet our needs for data and processing compatibility and seamless integration of the additional products into our data collection efforts. Use of any other product will not meet our needs and would essentially cause the project to “start over.”
Pursuant to ORS 279B.075 (2)(b): Exchange of Software or Data.
Pursuant to ORS 279B.075 (2)(c): Pilot or Experimental Project.
Pursuant to ORS 279B.075 (2)(d): Other findings that support the conclusion that Supplies and Services are available from only one source may include but are not limited to considerations of:
unique design, availability, geographic location, exclusive authorized representative, cost of conversion, and warranty services.
Please see the attached documentation from the manufacturer.
