NOTICE OF INTENT TO MAKE A NONCOMPETITIVE PURCHASE

PURCHASE OF REPLACEMENT GRINDER AND INSTALLATION PARTS FOR ISLAND WASTEWATER

TREATMENT PLANT

November 18, 1015

Lake Havasu City, Arizona intends to purchase the above referenced commodity or service for which we believe

only one know provider in the State of Arizona exists. This document contains the specifications and justification

for the noncompetitive sole/single source procurement. Any vendor who does not agree that this commodity or

service is available only from the source described in this document must contact the procurement official listed

below by the response deadline. Do Not Contact the Requester. Any questions regarding this notice must be

obtained through Administrative Services Department – Procurement Division (hereinafter referred to as “ASD-

Procurement”) during the publication period.

REQUESTER: PUBLIC WORKS/ WASTEWATER

PURCHASE DESCRIPTION: The grinder system, which pulverizes solid septage material prior to entering the

treatment process flow, is being purchased from the OEM manufacturer in a like-for-like replacement. The purchase

also includes parts for installation.

PROPOSED SOLE SOURCE SUPPLIER: JWC Environmental

ANTICIPATED EXPENDITURE: $14,36.82

JUSTIFICATION FOR THE SOLE/SINGLE SOURCE NONCOMPETITIVE PROCUREMENT: JWC

Environmental is the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) for the Auger Monster grinder system being

replaced. As the city has standardized on this equipment, JWC is the only supplier for the parts, equipment, and

service for this system. The grinder system at ITP has reached the end of its useful life and, in keeping with the

city’s standardization efforts, the replacement is being purchased from the OEM. Other grinder systems had been

tried prior to standardizing on JWC Equipment but those systems displayed a high rate of failure and allowed an

unacceptable amount of solids to bypass the grinder stage of our septic receiving system.

RESPONSE DEADLINE: NOVEMBER 25, 2025 NO LATER THAN 3:00 PM/ARIZONA TIME.
