Single Source Notice for Vaughan Pumps and Services

Collier County intends to designate F.J. Nugent & Associates, Inc. as a single source for Vaughan centrifugal, chopper, and conditioning pumps and services. These pumps are critical for the reliable conveyance of wastewater, ensuring compliance with Florida Administrative Code and other local, state, and federal regulations. The county has a background of using Vaughan pumps in its wastewater infrastructure, and the current equipment is exclusively Vaughan. The county's Procurement Ordinance defines a single source as commodities or contractual services available only from a single source, or where the use of such a source is both economically and operationally in the County's best interest. This notice is not a request for pricing or a commitment to purchase, but an opportunity for other qualified sources to contest the designation by providing documentation prior to the submission deadline.
