About this opportunity

The City of North Miami Beach is conducting a sole source procurement for Neptune Registers through Ferguson US Holdings, Inc., specifically for the Norwood Water Treatment Facility's Automated Meter Reading (AMR) system. The procurement involves purchasing 300 5/8" and 85 1" PC USG 5' Itron Conn S1722 meters, along with 100 1-1/2" PC USG W/5' Itron Conn S1722 meters. The primary objective is to replenish water meter inventory to ensure proper revenue accounting and billing, with a specific focus on maintaining system compatibility and operational integrity. Neptune Technology Group is designated as the exclusive supplier of meters and materials, with Ferguson WaterWorks identified as the sole authorized distributor of Neptune products in Florida. The procurement is not a traditional Request for Proposals, and any responses will be considered solely for determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. The written response deadline is May 28, 2025, at 3:00 PM EST, with submissions to be sent to bids@citynmb.com.

The procurement appears to have no specific set-aside designations or restrictions on responding organizations. The current infrastructure relies on a 2014 contract with Pedal Valve for the water meter reading system, and the proprietary Itron ERT connector makes these meters incompatible with alternative products. Ferguson WaterWorks is positioned as the only source capable of fulfilling the requirement without compromising the existing AMR system's functionality. The total procurement value is $48,694.00, which will be funded through the FY2025 budget under account number 410-141501. The sole source justification stems from the proprietary nature of the meters and the exclusive distribution arrangement, which limits potential competitors. The procurement covers jurisdictions in Miami-Dade County and is being conducted under the City of North Miami Beach City Code Section 3-4.8, which allows for negotiated awards with a single source.
