The City of Oviedo, Florida is conducting a Public Notice of Intent to Single/Sole Source Purchase Request for Information (RFI) 25-21 for a specialized municipal water and wastewater treatment equipment procurement. The specific procurement involves a Gardner Denver NASH Hoffman Model 73207-ADOO Multistage Centrifugal Air Blower assembly, intended to replace an existing obsolete blower for municipal infrastructure. The blower has precise specifications including a 1225 SCFM capacity, 6.5 PSIG discharge, 14.7 PSIA barometer, and a 75HP motor. TSC Jacobs North, Inc. is identified as the sole sales representative for Gardner Denver Nash Hoffman and Lamson blowers in the North and Central Florida region. The RFI was issued on January 7, 2025, and is valid for fiscal year 2024-2025, with a response deadline of January 29, 2025 at 4:00 P.M. EST. Prospective respondents who disagree with the sole source designation are invited to submit information demonstrating their capability to provide equivalent products.

The procurement appears to have no specific set-aside designations or restrictions on organizational responses. The total proposed equipment cost is $74,536, with a unique payment structure of 10% at order acceptance, 40% upon manufacturing release, 45% at shipment, and 5% at startup. Payment terms are structured not to exceed 120 days from shipment, and the proposal remains valid for 30 days. The procurement includes standard factory testing, mechanical run tests, and dynamic rotor balance as part of the equipment delivery. While the RFI emphasizes TSC Jacobs North, Inc. as the sole representative, it explicitly invites alternative suppliers to demonstrate equivalent product capabilities. The procurement is specifically for municipal water and wastewater treatment infrastructure replacement, targeting a critical infrastructure component with specialized technical requirements.
