Analysis
This resolution approves a sole source contract between the Metropolitan Government and The TDH Company, LLC, to provide Duperon, EnviroMix, Xylem Sanitaire, and Shand & Jurs products, parts and services for the Central Water Reclamation Facility.
Sole source contracts may be awarded under the Metro procurement code when it is determined that there is only one source for the supply or services rendered. Section 4.12.060 of the Metro Code requires all sole source contracts having a total value in excess of $250,000 to be approved by the Council by resolution.
This sole source contract is before the Council for consideration because the estimated value of the contract is $10,000,000. The term of the contract is 60 months and will begin when the agreement is approved by all required parties and filed with the Metropolitan Clerk.
According to the sole source justification form approved by the Metro Purchasing Agent, the contract would supply the following products at its Central Water Reclamation Facility: screening in the new headworks building, large bubble mixing in effluent primary and aeration influent, fine bubble aeration, and flare at Biosolids. The TDH Company is the sole source for these products in Tennessee.
