This document is a Single Source Certificate of Conditions and Circumstances for the City of Tampa's McKay Bay WTE (Waste-to-Energy) Facility, specifically for Rockwell Automation and Allen-Bradley products. The document requests approval to purchase replacement parts and components for Allen-Bradley/Rockwell Automation products and software from Rexel USA Inc., the only authorized distributor in the Tampa geographic area. The estimated expenditure is $75,000.00, and the procurement is justified by the facility's existing Allen-Bradley PLC systems for cranes, soot blowers, gas burners, and grate systems, which require only Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) parts for satisfactory repairs.

The letter from Rockwell Automation further elaborates that REXEL USA INC in Tampa is the sole authorized distributor to sell Allen-Bradley and Rockwell Software products, with associated services including technical support, training, and warranty coverage. Rockwell Automation strongly discourages purchasing from unauthorized sources and emphasizes that products not purchased directly from them or their authorized distributors may not be covered by the standard manufacturer's warranty, which typically provides one year of coverage from the invoice date. The documentation underscores the importance of working with authorized local distributors who can provide inventory access, technical assistance, knowledgeable staff, and ongoing manufacturer support.
