order request to an authorized agent of the City within fourteen (14) calendar days of the date
Vendor knew or should have known of the facts and events giving rise to the requested change. If
the City determines that the change increases or decreases the Vendor's costs or time for
performance, the City will make an equitable adjustment. The City will attempt, in good faith,to
reach agreement with the Vendor on all equitable adjustments. However, if the parties are unable
to agree, the City will determine the equitable adjustment as it deems appropriate. The Vendor
shall proceed with the change order work upon receiving either a written change order from the
City or an oral order from the City before actually receiving the written change order. If the Vendor
fails to require a change order within the time allowed, the Vendor waives its right to make any
claim or submit subsequent change order requests for that portion of the contract work. If the

2. Supplement the written protest within fourteen (14) calendar days with a
written statement that provides the following information:

a result of the protested work. The City shall have access to any of the Vendor's records needed
for evaluating the protest.
The City will evaluate all protests, provided the procedures in this section
are followed. If the City determines that a protest is valid, the City will adjust payment for work
or time by an equitable adjustment. No adjustment will be made for an invalid protest.
B. Vendor's Duty to Complete Protested Work. In spite of any protest, the Vendor
shall proceed promptly to provide the goods, materials and services required by the City under this
Agreement.
C. Vendor's Acceptance of Changes. The Vendor accepts all requirements of a change
order by: (1) endorsing it, (2) writing a separate acceptance, or (3) not protesting in the way this
section provides. A change order that is accepted by Vendor as provided in this section shall
constitute full payment and final settlement of all claims for contract time and for direct, indirect
and consequential costs, including costs of delays related to any work, either covered or affected
by the change.
D. Failure to Protest Constitutes Waiver. By not protesting as this section provides,
the Vendor also waives any additional entitlement and accepts from the City any written or oral
order(including directions, instructions, interpretations, and determination).

procedures of this section, the Vendor completely waives any claims for protested work and
accepts from the City any written or oral order(including directions, instructions, interpretations,
and determination).
VII. CLAIMS. The Vendor shall give written notice to the City of all claims other than change
orders within fourteen (14) calendar days of the occurrence of the events giving rise to the claims.
Any claim for damages, additional payment for any reason, or extension of time, whether under
this Agreement or otherwise, shall be conclusively deemed to have been waived by the Vendor
unless a timely written claim is made in strict accordance with the applicable provisions of this
Agreement; or, if(and only if) no such provision is applicable, unless that claim is set forth in
detail in writing and received by the City within seven (7) calendar days from the date Vendor
knew, or should have known, of the facts giving rise to the claim. At a minimum, a Vendor's
written claim must include the information set forth regarding protests in Section VI(A)(2)(a)-(e).
FAILURE TO PROVIDE A COMPLETE, WRITTEN NOTIFICATION OF CLAIM
WITHIN THE TIME ALLOWED SHALL BE AN ABSOLUTE WAIVER OF ANY CLAIMS
ARISING IN ANY WAY FROM THE FACTS OR EVENTS SURROUNDING THAT CLAIM
OR CAUSED BY THAT DELAY.

officials, employees, agents and volunteers harmless from any and all claims, injuries, damages,
losses or suits, including all legal costs and attorney fees, arising out of or in connection with the
performance of this Agreement. Vendor's obligation to indemnify shall not extend to that portion
of damages caused by the City's sole negligence.
The City's inspection or acceptance of any of Vendor's work when completed shall not be
grounds to avoid any of these covenants of indemnification.
Should a court of competent jurisdiction determine that this Agreement is subject to RCW
4.24.115, then, in the event of liability for damages arising out of bodily injury to persons or
damages to property caused by or resulting from the concurrent negligence of the Vendor and the
City, its officers, officials, employees, agents and volunteers,the Vendor's liability hereunder shall
be only to the extent of the Vendor's negligence.

DATE: October 15, 2024
TO: Procurement File
FROM: Melinda Monroe
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 High Efficiency Turbo Blower for VFD.
Reasoning (check all supporting options below and remove unnecessary items):
❑ Compatibility to existing City standard or to existing equipment, inventory, systems, data,
programs or service. (Attach the business case for the standard and attach a copy of the standard
if it is written).
❑ Licensed or patented product with only one dealer. (Include a vendor signed
statement/Affidavit explaining why this particular licensed or patented product is the only one
suitable for your purpose)
Z 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. (Include a vendor signed statement/Affidavit
explaining and certifying to the relationship between the vendor and service provider).
❑ 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 this is the only company that can provide the sole source product or
service. Provide the support document that explains why a particular product, manufacturer, or
service is necessary and provide support for why the company you requested is the only available
company.
Cost/Quote support:
Per quote no. #AM-2024-3806-1 at a total cost of:$20,299.53, 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 VFD TURBO
BLOWER through direct negotiation, pursuant to BMC 2.76.090 and 2.76.010, and that sole
source purchase of these items is justified for this procurement.

Subject: Sole Source Request—Service and Parts
Reference: 08-0022/14-0036 City of Bremerton
Dear Sir,
The APGN High Efficiency Turbo Blowers installed at the City of Bremerton WWTP in Bremerton, WA are highly
engineered pieces of equipment. These blowers utilize cutting edge technology which requires a specialized service
person with extensive training to service and maintain. The components which require this specialized knowledge are
the bump foil air bearings,the high speed permanent magnet motor (22,000 RPM), the back swept forged impeller,the
400 hertz VFD, along with the programming in the PLC. This technology is designed to operate at the highest efficiency
and reliability but without proper preventative maintenance performed by a factory trained service person, the
efficiency and reliability can be negatively affected.
Given the situation where the need for service is required, a traditional source cannot be used as these service providers
do not have the required knowledge, experience, and skill set with the technology, and do not have a reliable and
expedient source for repair parts. Therefore APG-Neuros strongly encourages and recommends utilizing APGN factory
trained and certified technicians to maintain and service these blowers to ensure long life at peak performance and
ensure optimal return on the investment of these blowers.
The parts or components utilized within the APGN Turbo Blower are customized or manufactured by APGN. The
expertise required to manufacture the bearing and impeller is only available through APGN. The VFD and PLC operate
with APGN designed software. Therefore all replacement parts should only be purchased from APGN for proper
operation and control of these Turbo Blowers as no other known source can provide these parts to the required
standards.
Sincerely,
