FROM: Eric J. Burris, WW Manager
SUBJECT: Sole Source Determination
In accordance with Bremerton Municipal Code 2.76.090, Sole Source Purchases, the purpose of
this memorandum is to document the necessity of sole source procurement methodology for the
purchase of a complete rotating assembly for the Centrisys centrifuge at the Wastewater
Treatment Plant.
Reasoning (check all supporting options below):
Compatibility to existing City standard or to existing equipment, inventory, systems, data,
programs or service. The rotating assembly is for a centrifuge that the City currently owns, and
the part is specific to that piece of equipment’s manufacturer.
Licensed or patented product with only one dealer. (Include a statement explaining why this
particular licensed or patented product the only one suitable for your purpose)
Authorized service provider, repair and/or warranty services. The City requires service or
repair support for products or equipment owned by the City, and the vendor is either a factory
authorized warranty service provider or that particular vendor is required for warranty services
according to the conditions of a current City contract.
Unique design: Requires unique features that are essential aesthetic requirements, or not
practical to match to existing design or equipment, such as artwork. Describe.
Special bargain: This might include a surplus item, an auction sale, used equipment, returned
“open box” purchase, or other similar one-time bargains. Describe.
Delivery date: Only one supplier can meet required delivery date. Explain why this delivery
date is essential. This can only be used in limited circumstances, for delivery deadlines that are
the result of an unanticipated situation, and not a circumstance that could have been reasonably
anticipated or averted by advance City planning.
Project or research continuity: Product, systems, services or data must comply with an ongoing
project, research, data, testing or analysis without a compromise in the integrity of the project.
Also, this should be a situation that cannot be replicated by another company because there is a
legal or physical obstruction to disclosing the project information to allow another company the
opportunity to replicate. Examples include situations where a company has legal and/or

proprietary rights to customization such as software code, or to data; or testing or data is collected
through a unique measuring instrument that cannot be accurately duplicated and offered by
another vendor.
Requirement by funding source: Lender, grantor (such as federal government) or other
provider of funds requires the specific product, service or system. Attach a copy of the document
that clearly shows such a requirement is imposed by the funding source.
Legal monopoly: Only one supplier, such as electricity, water, or sewage.
Trial and evaluation projects: A limited duration, limited scope pilot, trial or evaluation of a
product, range of products or services. A trial or evaluation project would typically be part of
establishing a standard for a City department, or to pilot a particular product or services for a City
need. Describe the pilot, specify the scope of the pilot, and attach information to confirm that the
pilot is part of a purposeful department pilot initiative.
Other. Describe. Why is this the only company that can provide the sole source product or
service? The reference section reference section explains why a particular product, manufacturer
or service is necessary. The section below discusses why the company you request is the only
available company.
Cost/Quote support:
After reviewing sales quote 10856 Rev 2 from Centrisys-CNP in the amount of $253,643 our staff
believes this is a fair and reasonable price.
Therefore, it is my determination that it is in the City’s best interests to purchase the centrifuge
rotating assembly from Centrisys-CNP through direct negotiation, pursuant to BMC 2.76.090 and
2.76.010, and that sole source purchase of the centrifuge rotating assembly is justified for this
procurement.
