City Manager Mark Lubelski. Rodrigo de Castro, Director of Utilities.

Various Departmental Accounts

$500,000.00 - Estimated Annual Expenditure

Not to exceed budgeted funds for FY 2025/2026.

Subsequent years' expenditures subject to budget approval.

The Utilities Department has numerous Flygt pumps located throughout the City's service area for the conveyance of wastewater at lift stations. The Department maintains 219 lift stations and the majority contain Flygt products. These pumps have become a standardized and integral component of the City's wastewater infrastructure, supporting operational consistency, maintenance efficiency, and system reliability.

Continued use of Flygt equipment ensures compatibility with existing infrastructure. Xylem Water Solutions U.S.A., Inc. (Xylem) is the only authorized vendor for Flygt products, original equipment manufacturer (OEM) parts, service repairs, and warranty related services. By using a vendor other than Xylem to rebuild Flygt pumps, existing warranties could be voided. Using Xylem parts ensures proper fit and years of satisfactory service.

Pursuant to Section 5-173(c)(3) of the Code of the City of Sunrise, it is requested that the City Commission waive the City’s formal bidding requirement for the purchase of Flygt products, original equipment manufacturer parts, Flygt new purchases, service repairs and warranty repairs from Xylem Water Solutions U.S.A., Inc. as the sole source provider for (a) budgeted purchases in the current fiscal year and (b) for future purchases for three years from the effective date of this Resolution of parts, service repairs, and warranty related services that do not exceed budgeted funds.
