SOLE SOURCE JUSTIFICATION
VENDOR INFORMATION
Vendor Name: GSE Construction Co. Vendor#: f:l77n
Department: Public Works
Requested by: George Montross Date: 5/10/2022
A sole source purchase is a purchase made from only one source of supply or a purchase for which no advantage can be gained through competitive bidding. Sole source purchases often arise because specifications and requirements for the purchase are so distinct that only one possible source can provide the purchase or meet established standards. This may be the case with replacement parts for brand name machinery, equipment or vehicles.
JUSTIFICATION FOR SOLE SOURCE REQUEST
One of two Wastewater Quality Control Facility's existing bar screens is failing and is in urgent need of replacement, the fastest way to replace the bar screen is to change ordering the work in with GSE Construction Company's existing contract. GSE has already worked with the vendor and have the specifications of the bar screen that is in need of replacement so they are ready to begin manufacturing with approval of the change order.
