Purchase of Evoqua/Wallace and Tiernan Chlorinators

The City of Orlando, located in Orange County, Florida, is pursuing a sole source procurement opportunity (S25-0046) for the purchase of Evoqua/Wallace and Tiernan Chlorinators through its Water Reclamation Enterprises department. The procurement is specifically targeting chlorinator equipment from Water Treatment & Controls Technology, which has been identified as the exclusive source for these products. The solicitation was issued on October 22, 2024, with a response deadline of October 29, 2024, at 5:00 p.m. (ET). During a seven-calendar-day period, alternative suppliers are invited to submit product information, statements of qualifications, and capabilities to the Purchasing Agent, Varun Desai, via email at varun.desai@orlando.gov. The evaluation criteria focus on potential vendors demonstrating the ability to provide equivalent chlorinator products and services comparable to the specified Evoqua/Wallace and Tiernan equipment. Potential respondents must thoroughly document their technical capabilities, product specifications, and capacity to meet the city's water treatment technology requirements.

The procurement appears to have no specific set-aside designations or restrictions on responding organizations. Evoqua Water Technologies has authorized Water Treatment & Controls Technology as an exclusive distributor and service provider for municipal customers in Florida, Georgia, and Alabama, with the current authorization valid through December 31, 2024. While no specific budget range or award value is explicitly stated in the documents, the procurement is for specialized water treatment equipment. The sole source nature of the procurement suggests that Water Treatment & Controls Technology has unique capabilities or represents the manufacturer's primary distribution channel for these specific chlorinators. Interested vendors must demonstrate technical equivalence and the ability to provide comprehensive equipment and aftermarket parts that meet the city's water reclamation infrastructure needs. The procurement process emphasizes technical compatibility and the ability to integrate with existing water treatment systems.
