Pumps & Mixers

The City of Sanford, Florida's Department of Public Works-Utilities/Plants is seeking to procure specialized pumps, mixers, and related equipment for the North Water Reclamation wastewater treatment facility through a single-source procurement. The specific commodities include Wilo submersible pumps, split case pumps, Bermad hydraulic control valves, air valves, flow meters, BlueRibbon pressure transmitters, level sensors, and pressure gauges. The procurement is unique due to the highly specialized, custom-engineered nature of the treatment system, which requires factory-trained technicians with access to proprietary specifications known only to the original equipment manufacturer (OEM). The City intends to enter into a contract with PSI Technologies, Inc., located in Riviera Beach, Florida, for a one-year term. Prospective contractors who believe they can supply comparable products or services are invited to submit statements of qualifications and product information to Maria A. Green, the Procurement Contact Person, at purchasing@sanfordfl.gov or 407.688.5091 by the notice expiration date.

The procurement appears to have no specific set-aside designations or restrictions on responding organizations. The single-source justification is predicated on the equipment's specialized nature, which demands specific expertise and proprietary repair methods not available from alternative vendors. The recommended contractor, PSI Technologies, Inc., will be the primary vendor, with Tommy Nichols as the contact person. While no specific award value or budget range is explicitly stated in the documentation, the procurement covers critical infrastructure components for the wastewater treatment facility. The notice was originally posted on December 9, 2025, and will remain posted for a minimum of seven business days as required by Florida Statutes Sections 120.57(3) and 287.057(3). The procurement process allows for potential alternative vendors to challenge the single-source designation by submitting comprehensive qualifications demonstrating comparable capabilities.
