Explanation
BACKGROUND: To authorize the Director of Finance and Management to enter into a contract with Flowserve USA, Inc. for the purchase of a Flowserve Drop-in Assembly for the Division of Sewerage and Drainage. The Flowserve Drop-in Assembly will be used at the Jackson Pike Wastewater Treatment Plant to rebuild a Worthington 36" MC-1 vertical volute pump.
The Purchasing Office advertised and solicited competitive bids in accordance with the relevant provisions of City Code Chapter 329 relating to competitive bidding (RFQ006964). Fifty-nine (59) vendors (55 MAJ, 2 MBR, 1 MBE and 1 F1) were solicited and one (1) bid (MAJ) was received and opened on October 24, 2017. After a review of the bid submitted by Flowserve USA, Inc. in the amount of $216,616.00 the Department has found their bid to be non-responsive due to the inclusion of conflicting terms and conditions. After a review of the bid, the Division of Sewerage and Drainage recommended that the Purchasing Office negotiate terms and conditions with Flowserve USA, Inc., and waive competitive bidding.
This ordinance is being submitted as an emergency because, without emergency action, no less than 37 days will be added to this procurement cycle. Emergency legislation will expedite delivery of this equipment for the Division of Sewerage and Drainage.
