Title
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF MARGATE, FLORIDA, AMENDING AND UPDATING THE CITY'S LISTING OF SOLE SOURCE MANUFACTURERS AND PROVIDERS PREVIOUSLY APPROVED UNDER RESOLUTION NO. 22-075; AUTHORIZING WAIVING OF BIDDING AS REQUIRED FOR THE PURCHASE OF BUDGETED SUPPLIES, MATERIALS, EQUIPMENT AND PROJECTS FOR SO LONG AS A LISTED VENDOR REMAINS THE SOLE SOURCE FOR THE ITEM(S) SPECIFIED; PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE
BACKGROUND:
On August 31, 2022, the Commission approved by Resolution No. 22-075, a listing of several manufacturers and suppliers as sole source providers. Staff found that all listed supply sources held exclusive distributorship agreements, territorial markets, product patents, or other related basis for a sole source determination.
Attached is a newly updated listing that represents Staff’s currently identified sole source manufacturers and providers. The listing is color coded to identify new supply sources added since prior Commission approval (green); supply sources for which updated sole source letters have been requested and received since prior Commission approval (red); and supply sources for which there has been no change or update since prior Commission approval (black), if any. Also, attached are the sole source letters documenting any new or updated sole source suppliers.
As a matter of standard practice, the Purchasing staff periodically monitors the City’s supply sources and performs due diligence to confirm the validity of all identified sole source suppliers to ensure that those continue to represent legitimate sole sources of supply. To that end, newly updated sole source supplier lists will periodically be created and brought before the Commission for consideration.
RECOMMENDATION: Approve
FISCAL IMPACT: Various budgeted City accounts as needed
