About this opportunity
Broward County's Water and Wastewater Operations Division (WWOD) has issued a Request for Information (RFI) for Boerger Rotorrake (Grinder) parts, specifically seeking cutting blades and seals for a Model RR 9000 Grinder located at the North Regional Wastewater Treatment Plant Thickener Building. The RFI, posted on September 9, 2025, with responses due by September 16, 2025, is a Notice of Intent to Designate a Sole Brand and aims to determine if the specified commodity is available from multiple providers. The procurement is critical for maintaining the grinder's functionality, which is essential for processing wastewater solids from septage receiving to digester and clarified feed operations. Prospective vendors are requested to provide information about their ability to meet or exceed the county's requirements through the electronic bidding system. The county emphasizes that using alternative equipment parts would necessitate replacing expensive process equipment entirely, highlighting the specialized nature of the procurement.
The RFI appears to be exclusively focused on Boerger LLC parts, with Moss Kelley, Inc/MKI Services, Inc. identified as the sole municipal representative for Boerger products in Florida. While no specific set-aside designations or disadvantaged enterprise requirements are mentioned, vendors are encouraged to contest the proposed sole-source designation if they can provide equivalent products. The procurement does not represent a commitment to purchase but serves as an information-gathering exercise to validate the county's understanding of market availability. No specific budget range or award value is disclosed in the documentation. The critical evaluation criteria seem to center on the vendor's ability to provide OEM repair parts that maintain the grinder's reliability and maintainability without requiring comprehensive equipment replacement.
Opportunity text
Notice of Intent to Designate Sole Brand: This Request for Information (RFI) (Notice of Intent to Designate a Sole Brand) is to determine if the specified commodity or service is available from multiple providers, or if an alternate commodity or service is available that would meet the County's needs. This is not a request for pricing or a purchase commitment. The following commodity or service is thought to be available from only a sole source and is the only commodity/services that meets the County's needs: Water and Wastewater Operations Division (WWOD) is procuring parts for its Boerger Rotorrake (Grinder), Model RR 9000 located at the Broward County North Regional Wastewater Treatment Plant Thickener Building. The Grinder is used on all aspects of waste water solids at the thickener building area conditioning; from septage receiving at the front of the plant, to digester and clarified feed. To use any other brand of equipment parts would require replacing expensive process equipment in its entirety. Moss Kelley, Inc/MKI Services, Inc. is apparently the sole Municipal representative for Boerger LLC within the State of Florida for the purchase of new products, OEM repair parts, repairs and maintenance for the Municipal market. Water and Wastewater Operations Division (WWOD) would like to procure cutting blades and seals for its current Grinder manufactured by Boerger. The reliability and maintainability of the instrument would be degraded unless the specified parts are purchased. This RFI will remain posted until closing date and time. Prospective Vendors are requested to provide information regarding their ability to provide the commodity or service described or written explanation or other documentation contesting the proposed RFI designation. If you are capable of meeting or exceeding the County's requirements for the specified commodity or service, respond to this RFI through the electronic bidding system. Vendor should upload any supporting information in the electronic bidding system as part of its response to assist the County in determining if commodity or service is comparable, is available from multiple suppliers, and meets the County's needs. The Director of Purchasing shall have sole authority in deciding what is comparable. The Director of Purchasing shall consider such submittals and notify all submitting vendors (thru the electronic bidding system) of the decision whether to designate as a Sole Source/Brand, which decision shall not be subject to objection, protest, or appeal.
