1. Summary

Supplier: Technical Sales Corporation

Description: TSC Pre-Fab Pump Solutions

To date, the listed supplier has been identified as the exclusive source for this product/service. Notice is hereby provided that this product/service may be a single source.

Any supplier that believes they are capable of providing the same type of product/service should submit product information, statement of qualifications, and/or capabilities, as applicable, by the due date.

This posting will remain active for fifteen (15) business days pursuant to Florida Statute 287.057.

2. Notice

It is the policy of the City of Winter Park to consistently purchase goods and services by full and open competition. The taxpayers of Winter Park are best served when we make sound business decisions based on competitive bids or proposals. Early acquisition planning, including the Procurement Division, can help to avoid delays and facilitate effective market research. However, there may be instances in which a method other than full and open competition can be justified. If a user department determines that a method alternative to full and open competition is necessary or in the best interest of the City of Winter Park, appropriate justification for that course of action must be submitted to the Procurement Division for approval in order to waive the competitive procurement process.

Request For: Single Source

Single Source (use for single purchases only): The supply of a product or service is so uniquely* qualified that is only available from a solitary source.

*Definition of Uniquely:

1. Explain why the product/service requested is the only product/service that can satisfy your requirements.

Be specific with regard to specifications, features, characteristics, requirements, capabilities and compatibility. Describe what steps have been taken to make this determination:

Technical Sales Corporation provides engineered pre-fab lift stations that the City currently has at parks, venues, and City owned buildings that are not directly attached to the City's gravity sewer system. TSC is used to maintain and replace these package lift stations.

2. Explain why this service provider, supplier or manufacturer is the unique available source from which to obtain this product/service. Describe the efforts that were made to verify and confirm the validity of a distributor’s claim to be the only available source. (Obtain and include a signed letter from the manufacturer confirming claims made by distributors of exclusive distributorship):

The City is standardizing the package lift stations to be used at City facilities to the ones provided by

Technical Sales Corporation. This company is the sole manufacturer of the equipment used within these existing lift stations located throughout the City.

3. Will this purchase obligate the City to a particular vendor for future purchases? (Either in terms of maintenance that only this vendor will be able to perform and/or if we purchase this item, will we need more “like” items in the future to match this one?):

Yes

4. Please describe your market research and the results thereof, including a description of other similar sources or products available and why they are not acceptable:

Technical Sales Corporation is the only authorized distributer for all TSC Pre-Fab Pump Solutions which are already installed and used at several City owned facilities. This vendor is the only vendor capable of providing parts and repairs on these existing package lift stations.

I certify that the above statements are true and correct to the best of my knowledge, and that prices obtained are fair and reasonable. I also certify that neither I, nor my family members, will gain or receive any additional benefit because I have recommended that this acquisition be obtained solely from a designated vendor or contractor.
