If Purchasing cal elp you make this a competitive purchase, then this form will not be required Attach this completed/approved form to requisitions when competitive quotes/bids/proposals are not solicited. (Required for requisitions > $3,000)
Requested Sole Source Supplier:
Company Name: Jet Dock Systems, Inc Contact Name: Pete Nuti Address: 9601 Corporate Circle

Duration of Contract: 3 years, with two one-year option to extend Estimated Cost: $ 100,000 Funding Source (Account String) 01204022-400501 Is the product/service IT related? Yes No If Yes, please attach the approved IT Authorization Form For Product: Is the recommended company the manufacturer of the product? Yes_ X No For Product: Does the manufacturer sell the items) through distributors? Yes_ No Description of Product or Service:
Describe the full scope of work or service contemplated including installation if required; items should include brand, model and part number if applicable; (if additional space is needed, include them in a separate page) In 2013, the Richmond Fire Department installed a Jet Dock Systems, Inc. floating drive-on/drive-off boat lift. The Jet Dock provides 270-degree walk-around access, allowing firefighters to quickly access the vessel for rapid deployment while keeping it out of the water. The boat lift now requires repairs and maintenance due to normal wear and tear from continuous use and exposure to marine conditions. See full scope of service attached as supplemental page.
Sole Source Rationale: PLEASE ANSWER ALL THE FOLLOWING QUESTIONS: Explain why the recommended company is the only company that can meet the requirement. Address the following: Are there any other companies who can do this job? What condition (e.g. technological superiority, or performance risks, etc.) exists so that the recommended company has a significant advantage over any other company who can do this job? It is important to sufficiently address the key reason for awarding an order/contract without soliciting competitive bids. The rational must be clear and convincing, avoiding generalities and unsupported conclusions.
Jet Dock Systems, Inc. ("Vendor") is the sole manufacturer of its proprietary docking systems, and there are no equivalent or comparable products on the market that meet the required specifications. As such, the vendor does not authorize any other company to service or repair its products. Approval of this sole source request is imperative, as only the vendor is permitted to work on its own systems. If not approved, the City would be required to decommission the existing dock, hire a new vendor for the removal and installation of a different dock, and contract a separate vendor for ongoing maintenance. This approach would result in significantly higher costs and extended lead times compared to the proposed sole source solution. (if additional space is needed, include them in a separate page) Page | 1 Sole Source Form - Rev. May 12, 2016
Complete the following checklist
A specific contractor is the only source of the required item because (check all that apply):
• The required items are proprietary to the Contractor, and contractor solely transacts (sells) direct to the customer. (There are no dealers or distributors for contractor).
The required items are proprietary to the Contractor, and contractor does not sell direct to the customer. Contractor solely distributes the item or service through only one dealer or distributor in the United States. (There are no dealers or distributors for contractor).
Note: If item or service is available from more than one source, the item or service may be treated as proprietary, but must be competitively solicited from multiple (two or more) sources.
A specific item is needed:
To be compatible or interchangeable with existing hardware J As spare or replacement hardware For the repair or modification of existing hardware Federal or state grant names vendor as condition of funding. (Attach copy of grant that names vendor)
There is a substantial risk in contracting with any other contractor, (e.g., only one contractor has been successful to date in implementing a difficult manufacturing process or the services sought). In a brief explanation, provide supporting evidence of why other contractors are considered to be unable to overcome the substantial risk.
Jet Dock Systems, Inc. does not authorize any third-party companies to service or repair its products. Contracting other vendors to perform maintenance or repairs on Jet Dock systems may compromise the integrity of the system and render it inoperable if the work fails. Jet Dock will not service, repair, or support any products that have been modified or worked on by unauthorized parties. Once a Jet Dock system has been altered by another vendor, Jet Dock will no longer assume responsibility for its functionality or provide any further support.
Continuation of prior Work - Additional item, service or work required, but not known to have been needed when the original order was placed with vendor, and it is not feasible or practicable to contract separately for the additional need. Provide brief explanation and supporting evidence. (if additional space is needed, include them in a separate page) 2| Page
I acknowledge the City's requirements for soliciting competitive quotes/bids for purchases over $3,000.00 and the criteria for justification for Sole Source purchases. I have gathered the required information, have made a concerted effort to review comparable/equal equipment/services (e.g., market research), and further affirm that there is no conflict of interest involved in the selection made.

(Under $10,000.00) (Over $10,000.00) (Copy of Minutes may be substituted) Note: Richmond Municipal Code Section 2.52.326 Sole Source Procurement requires final approval by the City Manager and/or City Council. Sole Source must be approved by Finance Director, PRIOR to Council Approval.
PROCEDURE
Sole Source purchase/service are exceptions to the normal bidding process and require a detailed justification. In processing Sole Source requests for supplies, services and/or equipment, the Purchasing Division adheres to and is governed by the principles set forth in City of Richmond Municipal Code Section 2.52.326 Sole Source Procurement.
If you are requesting a particular vendor, brand or product, you must make this fact clear on your Sole Source form.
Your request will then be restrictive and non-competitive, and will fall into a sole source category. If the sole source justification is approved, the requisition can be expedited without the normal bidding requirements.
Such a request should not be made unless you are confident that your request is reasonable and appropriately justified to meet the City's requirements and withstand any possible audit. The City's requirements and the format for submitting such requests are contained herein. Sole Source form must be signed by authorized department representative(s). The certification will remain on file for audit purposes.
The following factors DO NOT apply to sole source requests and should not be included in your sole source justification. They will not be considered and only tend to confuse the evaluation process.
1. Personal preference for product or vendor.
2. Cost, vendor performance, and local service (these are generally considered award factors in competitive bidding).
3. Features which exceed the minimum department requirements. 3 | Page

Terms and Conditions between Jet Dock Systems, Ine or Dealer ("Us" or "We") and Customer "You" regarding the Jet Dock floating drive-on docking system (the "Jet Dock" or "Dock"):
1. Safe and Proper Operation: You are responsible for the safe and proper operation of the Jet Dock, and will provide instruction (including a copy of the Instructions) for operation by others. You are solely responsible to determine the feasibility and safety of dry-docking the craft by "driving-on". You may have to shift your weight back during a pwe drive-on to ascend the tracking cube. In rare instances, a boat's bow eye may need to be removed. All riders and craft are different as to acceleration, size, weight, etc. Practice is essential. Bottom painted or fouled hulls must be sanded smooth.
Idle Approach/Safety Pause: You agree to: a) approach the Jet Dock at 2 mph or less; b) never drive-on while a person is standing on the Jet Dock; and c) perform a "Safety Pause" within the first third of the stern of the Jet Dock before attempting to drive-on.
Determination of Safe Drive-on: If safe and proper drive-on is not feasible due to operator capability, weather conditions, craft operation, etc., You agree not to You will exercise caution when launching craft and acknowledge that launching requires physical aptitude and dexterity. You agree to launch the craft only if you possess such abilities, and assume all responsibility therefore, and are responsible to determine such ability in others. You agree to read and follow launch instructions in Owner's Manual and all related supplements and video. Customer must maintain all decals and contact Jet Dock for replacements as needed.
Damage to Craft: We cannot supervise the operation of your craft in the waterways, during trailering or while driving on the Jet Dock. We also cannot control inconsistencies and inadequacies of watercraf hull integrity, or the effects that wind or wave action may have on the Jet Dock or craft. Therefore, you agree that we are not responsible for abrasions, damage or chipping to craft due to improper operation, failure to keep the Jet Dock clean of dirt, sand, salt deposits or debris, or for any other reason, nor for any superficial scratches or marks of any kind.
Night Storage Position: You agree to pull up and secure the craft into the "Night Storage Position" and to regularly confin that the stern of the craft is above contact with the water. We are not responsible for marine growth or corrosion that may occur to craft by improper storage or failure to inspect the stem for marine exposure.
A secondary tension relief line may be necessary to secure craft depending upon site conditions.
Safe Mooring: You are solely responsible for the safe mooring of the Jet Dock, including the Tide Manager* System, and agree to frequently secure, maintain, inspect or repair the mooring. For Stand-Alone Mooring Systems, we will provide guidelines for maximum water depth and sea-floor penetration. However, due to different sea-floor compositions, fluctuating water levels, waves, and changing watercraft applications, you remain solely responsible for Stand-Alone moorings.
Sound Mooring Structure: You are solely responsible to verify the structural integrity of the structure to which the Jet Dock mooring is attached. Your structure will be exposed to substantial forces during drive-on, and must exhibit sufficient structural integrity to withstand these forces. You agree to choose and maintain structures which possess sufficient structural integrity to sustain the combined mass of the Dock, craft on the Dock, craft tied about the perimeter of the Dock, craft driving on the Dock, and/or any combination thereof. Failure to select, inspect and/or maintain the appropriate mooring structure can result in sudden failure of equipment, property damage and/or serious injury or death.
Improper Use: The Jet Dock and Tide Manager™ are intended for the original specified crafts) only. Driving-on larger, heavier or otherwise unsuitable craft may cause damage to the Jet Dock, mooring or craft itself. Consult us for modification suggestions. We are not responsible for damage to craft or the Jet Dock or other property or injury or death to you or others by the use of any Jet Dock which has been altered, redesigned, abused or misused by you or others.
Ice: Ice will not normally harm the Jet Dock when the Jet Dock can rest freely away from obstructions. However, moving ice may damage or tear away the Jet Dock. When in question, store the Jet Dock on land during winter. Ice may also damage or destroy rigid moorings like the Tide Manager. It is recommended that craft and rigid moorings be removed and safely stored on land from any Jet Dock that is intended to be iced in.
Footwear: The Jet Dock drive-on systems may become hot when exposed to the sun. Footwear must be worn. Avoid skin contact with drive-on systems.
11. Traverse with Caution: The Jet Dock is engineered with openings, cradles, ramps, flex points, perimeters and multi-level fluctuation. You agree to use caution and to wear an approved Personal Floatation Device at all times while on the Jet Dock and agree to require the same of others.
12. Fueling on or from the Jet Dock material: Fueling and/or working with flammable materials on or from the Jet Dock is not recommended and the customer assumes
13. Regulations / Insurances: You are responsible to obtain the required permits, variances, registrations and/or approvals for the Jet Dock, if any, and agree to comply with all regulations. We carry insurances which are normal and customary in the industry. You will be responsible for costs associated with excess premiums for any insurances which you require of us which are beyond the standard limits that are currently in effect.
14. Handling on Land/ Non-buoyant Cubes: The Jet Dock has its greatest structural integrity while in the water. You are responsible for any damage to the Jet Dock while launching, removing, dragging, bending or stacking of the Jet Dock when out of the water. The tracking cubes, ballast cubes, winch cubes, and keel deflection cubes are pre-drilled and are not intended to provide buoyancy.
15. Wind, Waves, etc: We are not responsible for damage to the Jet Dock, mooring or craft due to winds, waves, wakes, high, low or no-water conditions, etc. You should remove and land-store craft and spring-tie the Jet Dock freely, or remove them from the water when such conditions are imminent.
16. Warranty: The Jet Dock is sold upon the standard Warranty and subject to the limitations and exclusions specified thereon. You acknowledge receipt of the Warranty, Owners Manual, Product Video, and the Assembly and Installation Instructions. You agree to allow us to use photographs of the installation for literature and publication.
17. Returns: Orders canceled or reduced before departing either the Dealer's or the factory's facility shall be subject to a 15% order adjustment fee plus full cost of all non-stock items. Once departed from the facility, all "authorized" returns shall be subject to a 25% restocking fee, freight/delivery cost to be bore by you. Contact Dealer for returns procedure. Items which CANNOT be authorized for return: used items, items placed in the water, items which you have had for 30 days or more, "custom" made orders or non-stock items, air-assisted systems, and items which have been damaged by a freight company and said damage was not noted on the freight bill. Coordination with the freight company, off-loading and movement of shipped Docks are your responsibility. Docks shipped to you immediately become the responsibility of and owned by you and cannot be refused or returned without triggering this Returns provision.
