About this opportunity
The City of Altamonte Springs in Seminole County, Florida, is seeking to procure a Grit Slurry Cup and associated parts for its Regional Water Reclamation Facility (RWRF) through a sole source procurement process. The primary objective is to replace critical wastewater treatment infrastructure originally installed during the 2016 Headworks Improvements project. Specifically, the procurement involves one Grit Slurry Cup designed to remove grit, sand, and abrasive materials from raw wastewater, which is essential for protecting downstream equipment and ensuring reliable treatment operations. The city is requesting a waiver of the standard solicitation process to purchase directly from Eutek Systems, Inc. d/b/a Hydro International Wastewater, Inc., who is the original equipment manufacturer. The procurement notice was posted on November 11, 2025, with a response deadline of 4:30 p.m. on November 14, 2025, during which potential vendors could submit alternative solutions or demonstrate equivalent capabilities. Interested parties were instructed to contact Gabriela Ruela, Procurement Specialist, at GRuela@Altamonte.org with any proposals or inquiries.
No specific set-aside designations or restrictions on responding organizations were mentioned in the procurement documents. Hydro International is positioned as the sole authorized vendor, being the original equipment manufacturer with exclusive access to authorized service technicians and OEM replacement parts in the United States. The total contract value is not-to-exceed $150,000, which includes $110,000 for the Grit SlurryCup and $40,000 for associated parts, repairs, and services. This procurement exceeds the city's formal solicitation threshold of $100,000, necessitating City Commission approval to waive competitive bidding requirements. The City Commission meeting is scheduled for December 2, 2025, to provide final approval of the sole source designation. The procurement is justified by the critical nature of the equipment, the existing system's significant wear, and Hydro International's exclusive position as the original equipment manufacturer. Sufficient budgetary funds have been confirmed to cover the expenditure.
