About this opportunity
The City of Fort Myers in Lee County, Florida is pursuing a sole source procurement for a Lift Station Air Ejection System, specifically the Wet Well Wizard, under Florida State Statute 287.057(3)(c). The procurement involves acquiring a specialized wastewater treatment technology from Reliant Water Technologies, with Agora Water Solutions serving as the authorized sales representative. The Wet Well Wizard is a patented system designed to eliminate fats, oils, and grease while neutralizing hydrogen sulfide odors in lift station environments, featuring unique technical capabilities such as anti-fouling cleaning baffles and the ability to draw air into water pump volutes. The solicitation was posted on November 25, 2024, with a response deadline of December 10, 2024, at 4:00 p.m. (ET). This is not a formal competitive solicitation, but rather a notice inviting potential alternative suppliers to submit product information, qualifications, and capabilities if they believe they can provide a comparable solution.
The procurement appears to have no specific set-aside designations or restrictions on responding organizations. The opportunity is structured as a "NO VALUE" procurement method, suggesting minimal to no direct financial transaction. Reliant Water Technologies is positioned as the exclusive manufacturer of the Wet Well Wizard, holding multiple patents (#9,968,895, #10,752,530, and #11,318,426) that establish their technological uniqueness. The procurement allows for a 15-calendar-day period for potential alternative suppliers to challenge the sole source designation by submitting qualifications to Rose Theriot, the Purchasing Agent II, via email at rtheriot@cityftmyers.com. While no specific budget range is disclosed, the procurement is focused on acquiring a specialized technical solution for wastewater lift station management rather than a high-value contract. The city's public utilities department will evaluate any submitted alternative proposals solely to determine whether a competitive procurement might be necessary.
