Sole Source Notice: Purchase of Degasifier Blower Replacement from CECO Industrial Solutions, Inc. dba HEE-Duall

The City of North Miami Beach is pursuing a sole source procurement for a Degasifier Blower Replacement at the Norwood Water Treatment Plant, with CECO Industrial Solutions, Inc. dba HEE-Duall identified as the exclusive vendor. This procurement is being conducted under City Code Section 3-4.8, which allows for sole source purchasing when only one supplier can meet specific municipal requirements. The specific procurement involves replacing degasifier blowers with specialized OEM components designed specifically for municipal water treatment infrastructure. The total anticipated cost of the procurement is $162,590.00, with a Notice of Intent issued on February 27, 2025, and written responses due by March 6, 2025, at 2:00 PM EST. Interested firms are invited to submit written responses demonstrating their capability to provide the procurement, though the city has already determined CECO HEE-Duall as the sole source vendor in Florida for DUALL products and municipal market components.

The procurement appears to have no specific set-aside designations or restrictions on responding organizations. CECO Industrial Solutions, Inc. dba HEE-Duall is positioned as the incumbent and sole source vendor for this specific project. The procurement is strategically aligned with the city's goal of maintaining a high-performing organizational infrastructure and ensuring continuous compliance with regulatory drinking water standards. The existing water treatment infrastructure at the Norwood facility requires extensive rehabilitation and repairs, which necessitates the specialized components from this specific vendor. While the procurement documents do not indicate alternative vendor options, the city has structured the sole source notice to potentially explore alternative competitive procurement methods if necessary. The total project budget is firmly set at $162,590.00, with the procurement focused on maintaining critical municipal water treatment operational capabilities.
