About this file

This is a Single Source Certificate of Conditions and Circumstances submitted by the Solid Waste & Environmental Protection Management department for the City of Tampa, Florida, authorizing the purchase of replacement parts and components for Siemens Process Instrumentation products currently in service at the McKay Bay Waste-to-Energy (WTE) Facility. The document serves as justification for bypassing the competitive bidding process and designating Siemens Industry Inc. c/o Gilson Engineering Sales as the sole source vendor. Gilson Engineering Sales is identified as the only authorized contracted representative for Siemens Process Instrumentation products in Pennsylvania, Ohio, West Virginia, Kentucky, and Florida. The facility requires ongoing maintenance and repair services for level instrumentation, pressure and temperature transmitters, valve positioners, weighing and feeding equipment, and liquid, gas, and solids flow meters. The request was dated July 1, 2026, with certification completed on July 2, 2026.

The estimated annual cost for replacement parts and components is $30,000.00, with funding sourced from account 41400.240500.552004. The justification for sole source procurement is based on the necessity of Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) parts and components to provide satisfactory repairs to the specialized Siemens instrumentation products at the McKay Bay WTE Facility. All purchase orders are directed to Siemens Industry Inc. c/o Gilson Engineering Sales at 535 Rochester Road, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania 15237. The requisition was processed by Tracy Edwards, Certified Procurement Analyst in the Purchasing Department, with internal coordination involving Christopher Eckert (WTE Plant Manager), Regina Byrd (Chief of Administration), and Donovan Maginnis (Audit & Contracts Supervisor). Approval is contingent upon review for compliance with Purchasing Policies and Procedures, Legal Sufficiency, and Insurance Requirements.
