About this file

This document is a Sole Source/Single Source Justification and Approval Form from the Brevard County Board of County Commissioners Purchasing Services for the Utility Services Department. The form requests approval to purchase internal mechanical equipment from WesTech Engineering, LLC for two solids contact clarifiers at the Mims Water Treatment Plant (WTP), with a total purchase amount of $1,316,000.00 as a one-time purchase. The procurement includes internal mechanical equipment, technical assistance during installation and start-up, and spare parts for maintenance.

The justification for selecting WesTech as a sole source vendor is based on the existing clarifier structures and equipment at the Mims WTP being originally manufactured by WesTech. Utilizing WesTech reduces the amount of modifications needed during replacement and minimizes changes to maintenance procedures and plant operations. Brevard County staff consulted with another vendor (ClearStream) and the utility services department's Black & Veatch consulting firm, who confirmed that using WesTech's clarifier equipment reduces the risk of structural changes during installation and will improve overall construction time and water treatment plant capacity.
