WHEREAS, the Orange County Sanitation District (Sanitation District) is a duly
organized County Sanitation District existing pursuant to the County Sanitation District
Act, California Health and Safety Code Section 4700, et seq., providing for the
ownership, operation, and maintenance of wastewater collection, treatment, and
disposal facilities within Orange County, California; and
WHEREAS, Public Contract Code Section 3400 provides that local agencies may
describe in the invitation for bids or request for proposals that a particular material,
product, thing or service is designated by specific brand or trade name if the awarding
authority, or its designee, finds that the product is designated "in order to obtain a
necessary item that is only available from one source"; and
WHEREAS, Public Contract Code Section 3400 establishes that an item is
available from only one source if there is not an "equal" product, meaning a product that
will "function as well, in all essential respects" as the designated product; and
WHEREAS, Carollo Engineers, Inc., the Sanitation District's Design Consultant,
has completed the plans and specifications for the Headworks Rehabilitation at Plant
No. 1, Project No. P1-105 ("Project"); and
WHEREAS, the Project includes four new grit washing and dewatering units,
each with a 250 gallon per minute hydraulic capacity, and ten new grit cyclones, each
with a 650 gallon per minute rated design flow; and
WHEREAS, grit cyclones are directly connected to grit washing and dewatering
units must therefore be supplied by same supplier as grit washing and dewatering
systems; and
WHEREAS, the grit washing and dewatering systems are a critical component of
the design to produce a cleaner and drier grit product while minimizing odor generation;
and
WHEREAS, the grit washer and dewatering system manufactured by Huber
Technology (Huber) is the only system that can produce the required grit product
quality; and
OCSD 20-06-1
WHEREAS, the grit washer and dewatering system manufactured by Huber is
the only system that generates such low strength odors that the required air exchange
rate within the building housing the system can be substantially reduced; and
WHEREAS, the lower required air flow rate within the building housing the
system results in substantial life cycle cost savings compared to competing systems;
and
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration thereof, the Board of Directors of the
Orange County Sanitation District, does hereby resolve, declare, determine, and order
as follows:
Section 1: All of the recitals herein contained are true and correct.
Section 2: Huber is the only manufacturer of a grit washing and dewatering
system that can produce a cleaner, drier grit product and requires a much lower building
air flow rate resulting in large life-cycle cost savings for odor control.
Section 3: COANDA Grit Washer, Model RoSF4, Size II, by Huber, in the size of
250 gallon per minute and cyclones as provided by Huber in the size of 650 gallon per
minute is a necessary component of the Project design and is only available from one
source.
Section 4: The COANDA Grit Washer manufactured by Huber and grit cyclones
as provided by Huber meeting the Sanitation District's needs shall be specified by name
in the invitation for bids for the Project.
Section 5: This Resolution shall take effect immediately upon its adoption.
PASSED AND ADOPTED at a regular meeting of the Board of Directors held on
