ATTACHMENT "A"
FINDINGS IN SUPPORT OF SOLE SOURCE PURCHASE OF TWO
FLYGT PUMPS FOR THE MILL CREEK LIFT STATION
State and local public contracting rules allow for sole source procurements when the Contact
Review Board adopts findings that support the conclusion that the good or service is available
from only one source. A sole source procurement is required for the replacement of the two mill
creek pump station pumps for the following reasons:
1. Compatibility— The Mill Creek Pump Station is specifically designed far the operation
of Flygt pumps, which are compatible with existing system configurations. Therefore, no
major modifications to existing intake and discharge piping, electrical systems or existing
pump bases are required. These Flygt pumps, used in various City lift stations and for
Pump #2 at the Mill Creek Pump Station, permit centralized service and maintenance.
Flygt pumps have near-exclusive application at the Wastewater Treatment Facility.
2. Performance - The Manufacturer (Xylem Water Solutions MSA, Inc) has incorporated
numerous features that promote efficient operation and reduce regular maintenance,
when compared with other products, Flygt pumps are specifically designed to avoid
plugging, and require less frequent regular attention than do other pumps. Flygt pumps
are exclusively owned and distributed by Xylem Water Solutions USA, Inc.
3. Reliability --Flygt pumps exhibit long term pump reliability due to the unique features
that are inherent in their pumps. This is a critical factor in determining the brand of
pump to be used in City pump stations because a breakdown of these pumps can lead to
sewer overflows and costly bypass pumping until they are repaired or replaced.
