Sole_Source_Justification__Andritz.pdf

This is a Sole Source Justification document prepared by the City of Holly Hills, Florida, establishing the rationale for a sole source procurement of equipment and parts from Andritz Separation, Inc. The City intends to purchase pumps, brushes, and spray nozzles specifically for a 400394583 Heavy Duty Belt Press Model Pilgrim 2.2M EG-5 equipment. Andritz Separation, Inc. is designated as the original equipment manufacturer holding sole rights and ownership to multiple product lines including Andritz-Ruthner, Bird Machine, Netzsch, R & B, and Humboldt. The justification supports a seven-day public notice period for the sole source procurement, after which no competitive bid opening will occur.

The sole source justification is based on the proprietary nature of the equipment and the exclusive manufacturing rights held by Andritz Separation, Inc. for the specified liquid/solid separation equipment and associated components. Because the City requires replacement parts and accessories that are manufactured exclusively by Andritz, competitive bidding is not feasible, as no other vendor can provide compatible products for the existing Pilgrim 2.2M EG-5 equipment. This procurement structure allows the City to expedite the acquisition of necessary maintenance and operational components while maintaining equipment compatibility and performance standards.
