Title

Resolution to Approve a Sole Source Best Source Purchase Order with Trojan Technologies Corp. for UV Train Parts ($50,000.00)

Memorandum

This memorandum and resolution requests approval of a Sole Source Best Source purchase order with Trojan Technologies Corp. for required maintenance parts on the Water Treatment Services Unit UV system trains #1 and #2 to be completed in FY26 ($50,000.00).

 

The Water Treatment Services Unit has two (2) Ultraviolet Light trains that are used as secondary disinfection during the water treatment process to ensure that we meet our disinfection contact time requirements. The UV units require regular maintenance that is dependent upon hours of service as well as unplanned replacements. 

 

Trojan Technologies Corp. is the manufacturer and supplier of these UV systems and is the sole source provider for these critical replacement parts.

 

Trojan Technologies Corp. comply with the requirements of the City’s Non-Discrimination Ordinance.

 

The original quote for the needed parts is $42,152.84. We are requesting an additional $7,847.16 to cover any additional unforeseen parts or labor needs that may arise throughout the year.

 

Budget/Fiscal Impact: These services are to be funded from the approved FY26 Water Supply System Fund operating and maintenance budget.

 

Charter language requires sole source goods procurement over $25,000.00 receive City Council Approval.
