JUSTIFICATION: (Attach additional pages if needed
The secondary clarifier retrofits project has been under construction since August, 2011 and was
bid for $669,335. The project includes the retrofit of Secondary Clarifier Nos. 3 and 4.
Performance Systems, Inc was selected to perform this work and has an anticipated completion
date of June, 2012.
The retrofit of Secondary Clarifier No. 3 included a new return activated sludge pump station
with two return activated sludge pumps. During construction the Public Works Department
discovered a third redundant return activated sludge pump to be stored at the wastewater
treatment plant was not included in the project. Public Works would like to purchase an
additional Cornell Model 4NNTL-SUB-5-6 pump to fulfill this requirement to match the existing
pump serial number's 175301 and 175302. This avoids the purchase of an additional rail
system and spare parts. The rail system for the submersible pumps is specific to each
manufacturer, making it difficult to supply an alternate pump forthis application.
CERTIFICATION:
I am aware of the requirements set forth in the City's Purchasing Policy & Procedures Manual for competitive bidding and the
established criteria for justification for sole source/sole brand purchasing. I have gathered technical information and have made
a concerted effort to review comparable/equal equipment. I hereby certify as to the validity of the information and feel confident
that this justification for sole source/sole brand meets the City's criteria and is accurate.
