This Request for Information (RFI) is intended to ascertain whether the commodity specified below is currently available from only one source.

This is not a request for pricing or a commitment to purchase.

The Procurement Manager shall consider such submittals and notify all submitting vendors of the decision whether to designate a Sole Source.

The City of Deerfield Beach is seeking to determine whether other qualified vendors are capable of furnishing the OEM replacement components listed above, or components fully compatible with the existing New York Blower FRP chlorine scrubber exhaust fan at the City’s Water Treatment Plant.

The components are required to replace the existing wheel, shaft, shaft hole closure, and bearings, which are not in condition to be reused, and to return the fan to service within the OEM New York Blower housing previously procured by the City. They must be compatible with the installed fan assembly, including housing, mounting, shaft and bearing fit, rotation, and discharge arrangement, without modification to the existing equipment.

A vendor asserting that these components are available from a source other than the vendor identified above must submit all pertinent information, documentation, and technical data sufficient to substantiate that assertion. At a minimum, the response must include the manufacturer and part number of each proposed component; technical specifications or drawings demonstrating dimensional, mechanical, and material interchangeability with the specified OEM components, including suitability for chlorine scrubber service; documentation of the vendor’s authorization to furnish the proposed components; and a written explanation of how each proposed component is compatible with the existing New York Blower fan housing and assembly. Statements of general capability, catalog listings, or assertions of equivalence without supporting technical data will not be considered sufficient to establish a competing source.
