Agenda 10/22/2024 Item #16C 2 (Approve agreement :Hach Lab Equipment, Products, and Services" with Hach Company)10/22/2024 Item # 16.C.2 ID# 2024-1156 Executive Summary *** This item continued from the October 8, 2024, BCC Meeting. *** Recommendation that the Board of County Commissioners, as ex-officio the Governing Board of the Collier County Water-Sewer District, approve Agreement No. 24-031-NS, “Hach Lab Equipment, Products, and Services,” with Hach Company in an estimated amount of $350,000 per Fiscal Year under a sole-source waiver for a period of three years, with three one-year renewal options, and authorize the Chairman to sign the attached Agreement. OBJECTIVE: To continue utilizing the Hach Company’s (“Hach”) proprietary parts and services, ensuring continuity and compliance with all applicable codes, laws, rules, regulations, standards, policies and procedures for continuous, seamless operations within the Collier County Water and Sewer District (“CCSWD”) water and wastewater treatment plants, wellfields, compliance laboratories and services provided by Collier County Pollution Control. CONSIDERATIONS: On July 16, 2020, the Procurement Services Division approved Cooperative Purchase No. #234 to allow staff to purchase Hach products and services under the Lee County Contract #B170418GWT. Since that time, Lee County and various other agencies (Tampa Bay Water, Pasco County, City of Tarpon Springs, North Miami Beach and the Town of Davie) have approved sole source purchasing of Hach products and services. Pursuant to Section 11 of the Collier County Procurement Ordinance 2017-08, as amended, staff requests that the Board find that it is in the best interest of the County to purchase the necessary supplies, materials, and equipment from Hach Company as a sole/single source vendor from October 1, 2024 through September 30, 2026 with three one-year renewal options following. The supplies and equipment include, without limitation, the following: reagents (example: Ammonia Cyanurate, NitraVer X, DPD TOT Chlorine, PhosVer), hardness solutions, ammonia/monochloramine, hypochlorite, cleaning solutions, chlorine analyzers, DO analyzers, ORP analyzers, pH analyzers, ammonia analyzers, chlorine panel assemblies, transmitter systems, probes, sensors, system components, sensors, meters (examples: flow, pH) laboratory equipment (excluding resell items such as glassware, measuring spoons, brushes and other general lab accessories). Services to be provided include repairs, installation, preventative maintenance, calibration and reporting, instrumentation panels and other equipment and services necessary to continue safe and compliant operations. Procurement Services Division posted a public notice of the County’s intent to designate Hach Company as a sole source to the vendor community through OpenGov for seven days and did not receive any responses. The following points are offered in support of waiving competition: • The County has been using Hach products and services since before 2004. Historical spend with Hach since 2004 through FY23 is approximately $1,561,419 in critical components. • The majority of the water monitoring panels are Hach products. To replace these panels alone would take several thousands of dollars per piece of equipment and potential redesign of the enclosures, as some companies' equipment would not fit properly into the enclosure design. Not only would it require the purchase of new equipment but extensive labor hours on installation, replumbing and rewiring. • There are no new significant technological advancements or requirements that justify purchasing new metering/monitoring system. • Hach has several patents on reagents, analyzers, turbidimeters, chemistries and sensors that are utilized by the County. • Hach provides continuity of product, service, and support. Other companies may offer similar products but do not offer service and support, which would require working with additional vendors for service. This could lead to warranty and delayed service issues on critical components. Calibration by a certified technician is often product specific. • Hach ensures the County stays current with new technology. • The County currently owns the existing equipment and would not have to purchase new equipment, ensuring continuity of operations. • There are no training requirements since staff is fully trained and standard operating procedures (SOPs) reference specific Hach products and instrumentation. Page 3871 of 7162 10/22/2024 Item # 16.C.2 ID# 2024-1156 • Introducing and integrating other products and vendors into the existing testing and SCADA systems could prove to be more costly and risk compliance issues. • The CCWSD is satisfied with the performance of the current equipment and services provided by Hach. • Continuing to utilize strictly Hach products ensures that there is no need to create new Application Program Interfaces (“API”) with existing modules, including costly interfaces with SCADA systems. • Hach product certifications ensure CCWSD’s compliance with all local, state and federal compliance requirements. • As the County grows, new Hach equipment will be added. Keeping equipment consistent throughout the County locations will capture the best value for the County by reducing staff training hours, utilizing existing configuration models, reducing the chance of downtime associated with unreliable or poor-quality equipment and providing consistent results for state and federal requirements. FISCAL IMPACT: Funds are available in the Collier County Water-Sewer District Operating Fund (4008), Water User Fee Capital Project Fund (4012), and the Wastewater User Fee Capital Project Fund (4014). As the utility system ages, the quantity of materials purchased will vary depending on the actual repair/replacement needs. Pricing shall be per Exhibit B – Fee Schedule. GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: This project meets current Growth Management Plan standards to ensure the adequacy and availability of viable public facilities. LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: This item is approved as to form and legality and requires majority vote for Board approval. - CJS RECOMMENDATIONS: To approve Agreement No. 24-031-NS, “Hach Lab Equipment, Products, and Services,” with Hach Company, in an estimated amount of $350,000 per Fiscal Year, under a sole-source waiver for a period of three years, with three one-year renewal options, and authorize the Chairman to sign the attached Agreement.

Hach provides continuity of product, service and support. Other companies may offer similar products but do not offer service and support, which would require working with additional vendors for service. This could lead to warranty issues and delays in service on critical components. Calibrations by a certified technician is often product specific. The majority of the water monitoring panels at the County are Hach products. To replace these panels alone would take several thousands of dollars per peice of equipment and potential redesign of the enclosures, as some companies equipment would not fit properly into the enclosure design. Not only would it require purchase of new equipment but extensive labor hours in installation, re-plumbing and rewiring and costly interfaces with the SCADA system as well as training Team members on new equipment and processes.
