Annual Maintenance Service of Sand Filters

The City of Hollywood Public Utilities Department is issuing a Notice of Intent to award a sole-source contract to Parkson Corporation for the annual maintenance service of sand filters at the wastewater treatment plant. This is not a competitive solicitation; the City intends to negotiate and award with only one source under City Code Section 38.41(C)(2) for sole-source supplies and services. Responses to this notice will be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement in the future and will not be treated as proposals, bids, or quotes.

The justification for sole-source procurement cites that Parkson Corporation is the original manufacturer and supplier of the subject sand filters and is the only source for OEM replacement parts. Additionally, only Parkson employs certified technicians capable of rebuilding and performing maintenance on their proprietary equipment. The anticipated cost for the annual maintenance service is $50,900.00. The requesting department is the Public Utilities Division.

All interested parties should note the key deadline: proposals (or expressions of interest) must be submitted by July 16, 2026, at 5:00 PM local time (21:00:15 UTC). The solicitation number is NTSS-418-26. The procurement contact is Julissa Marcano, Senior Purchasing Agent, and the technical contact is Ameer Khan, Utility Asset Manager. Additional details and the sole-source justification document are available via the OpenGov portal link and attachment.

This opportunity is limited in scope to a single source but provides an occasion for other vendors to demonstrate equivalent capabilities should they wish to challenge the sole-source determination. The City will evaluate any responses only to decide if a competitive process is warranted. No other milestones or evaluation criteria are specified beyond the notice period.
