EIMCO Sludge Thickener Drive Replacement Parts

The City of Deerfield Beach is issuing an RFI to determine whether the listed EIMCO sludge‑thickener drive replacement parts are available from any source other than the OEM (Ovivo USA, LLC). The purpose is to assess the existence of competing vendors before potentially designating Ovivo as a sole‑source supplier for a one‑time purchase to refurbish the drive at the city’s Water Treatment Plant. Vendors must submit detailed technical data, part numbers, and proof of compatibility if they claim alternative sources. No pricing is requested at this stage; the outcome will inform a possible sole‑source award for up to two years. • Product: EIMCO sludge‑thickener drive replacement parts (part numbers L115759‑4, 48806A, 89048A). • Goal: Verify existence of alternative qualified vendors or confirm sole‑source status. • Submission deadline: 10/29/2026 2:00 PM ET via eProcurement. • Required response: Manufacturer, part number, technical specs, dimensional/electrical interchangeability, vendor authorization, and compatibility justification. • Potential award: Sole‑source purchase order (if no competitors) for a two‑year period. • Contact: Eddyson Etienne, Procurement Division (phone (954) 250‑4039, email [email protected]).
