Single Source for Power & Industrial Services Corporation Fabricated 18"x24" Boiler Access Door

The City of Tampa's Solid Waste & Environmental Program Management is pursuing a single-source procurement for six specialized 18"x24" boiler access doors for the 2024 McKay Bay retrofit project. The procurement targets doors fabricated specifically by Power & Industrial Services Corporation, with Entech Products Corp. identified as the authorized supplier. These steel-fabricated doors are designed to match existing boiler configurations and feature specific technical specifications, including a rectangular frame with an oval cut, high-temperature braided ceramic packing, and approximately 2-1/2" Kaowool type insulation. The procurement seeks an authorized distributor or dealer capable of not only quoting the product but also providing warranty service, maintenance, and repairs. The initial manufacturing lead time is estimated at 12-14 weeks, with subsequent orders requiring 6-8 weeks. The due date for vendor responses is June 3, 2025, with vendors required to upload documentation verifying their authorization as an official vendor for Power & Industrial Services Corporation. Potential vendors must meet extensive insurance requirements, including comprehensive coverage across multiple categories such as Commercial General Liability, Automobile Liability, Worker's Compensation, Cyber Liability, and Pollution/Asbestos Legal Liability.

The solicitation does not explicitly indicate specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. The procurement is specific to Hillsborough County and targets a precise technological need for the City of Tampa's Waste to Energy facility. The total estimated cost for the boiler doors is approximately $29,700, with each door priced at $4,950, representing a significant cost reduction from previous procurement approaches. The doors will be manufactured by B D Riley Power and are intended to support replacement of parts across all four boilers to ensure uniformity. The procurement is strategically timed to align with a planned fall outage at the facility. While the solicitation emphasizes the single-source nature of the procurement, it provides a clear pathway for authorized vendors to participate by demonstrating their direct relationship with Power & Industrial Services Corporation. The overall objective is to maintain consistent boiler access door specifications and minimize inventory complexity for the city's infrastructure project.
