About this file
This document is a Public Notice of Intent to Enter into a Single Source Purchase issued by the City of Sanford's Finance Department Purchasing Division in Florida, dated March 11, 2025. The procurement is for the Public Works-Utilities/Plants department and involves acquiring a 35" Jackbolt Clarifier Drive from Ovivo USA, LLC for an 85 diameter clarifier. The equipment package includes a clarifier drive base with a 35" PD bearing ring gear, tower drive ½ HP 480/3PH/60HZ size 107 gear motor reducer, and torque sensor switches for alarm and shutdown functions. The contract is structured as a blanket order with a one-year term, and the procurement notice will be posted from March 11, 2025, to March 25, 2025.
Ovivo USA is identified as the sole source manufacturer with a geographically structured product distribution channel. The procurement uses commodity codes 890-013 and 890-066 and invites qualified suppliers to submit statements of qualifications to Frank Mascola in the Purchasing Division. The primary requestor is Richard Casella from the Utilities/Plants department. The notice emphasizes Ovivo USA's exclusive status for the equipment and replacement parts, suggesting that alternative vendors would need to demonstrate substantial technical equivalence to challenge this position. No specific award value or detailed budget range is provided, though the blanket order structure implies flexibility in potential purchase volumes.
