About this opportunity

The City of North Miami Beach is pursuing a sole source procurement for Sensus registers and meters through Core & Main, specifically for the NMB Water department. This procurement is not a traditional competitive solicitation, but a notice of intent to award under City Code Section 3-4.8, focusing on acquiring specialized water infrastructure components. The procurement includes 54 units of various OMNI T2 and F2 Chamber Assemblies with registers, Itron cables, and meters across different sizes and specifications. Core & Main is identified as the sole authorized and certified distributor of Sensus products in Florida, with meters specifically designed with Itron ERT connectors compatible with North Miami Beach's existing infrastructure. The solicitation was posted on May 20, 2025, with responses due by May 28, 2025, at 3:00 PM EST, to be submitted via email to bids@citynmb.com. Interested firms are invited to submit their capabilities in writing within seven calendar days of publication, with the understanding that responses will be considered solely for determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement process.

The sole source notice does not explicitly outline specific set-aside designations or restrictions on responding organizations. Core & Main is positioned as the primary supplier, with an anticipated contract value of $67,702.01 for the proposed meter and register procurement. The bid pricing is noted as being based on current inventory and subject to potential changes due to factors such as government regulations, tariffs, transportation costs, and global material sourcing. While the document encourages distributors and resellers to provide statements demonstrating their capability, it emphasizes that responses will not be treated as formal proposals, bids, or quotes. The procurement's primary objective is to replenish inventory and continue water infrastructure maintenance and improvements, with a focus on acquiring specialized equipment that precisely matches the city's existing technological infrastructure. Manufacturers and distributors are advised that any submissions should include manufacturer authorization and detailed capability statements to support potential evaluation of alternative procurement approaches.
