JORDAN BASIN IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT
NOTICE OF PROPOSED SOLE SOURCE PROCUREMENT
THIS IS NOT AN INVITATION FOR COMPETITIVE BIDS, PROPOSALS OR FOR STATEMENTS OF QUALIFICATIONS
The Utah Code and the Procurement Policy of the Jordan Basin Improvement District ('JBID') provide that sole source procurements may be used under limited circumstances such as: (a) there is only one source for the procurement item; (b) transitional costs are a significant consideration and a cost-benefit analysis demonstrates that the award to a sole source is in the best interest of JBID; or (c) circumstances render a standard procurement process impractical and not in the best interest of JBID.
The Procurement Officer of the JBID has received a request to make the following sole source procurement for a FSData and Program Plan Subscription through McCrometer, Inc. This logger data plan provides flow meter data from existing meters throughout the District's system back to a database for monitoring and modeling, and gives public notice of the same. The meters are only compatible with these loggers and utilize this data program. The purpose of this notice is to provide public notice as required by law and to determine whether there are other interested and qualified vendors that meet the requirements of JBID for the proposed sole source procurement.
Product and/or Service to be purchased: FSData Logger and Meter Data Plan. Includes cellular data plan and subscription to FSData program for each installed logger/meter.
Contract Duration: July 2026 through July 2031.
Proposed Sole Source Supplier: McCrometer, Inc. 3255 West Stetson Avenue, Hemet, CA, 92545.
Estimated Total: $18,000 annual subscription for existing meters in the system.
Sole Source Justification: For the following reasons, and based on research performed by the undersigned, the District has determined this purchase will utilize the sole source procedures authorized by the Utah Procurement Code:
- McCrometer is the sole distributor and support for the FSData Logger Software and data logger utilized by the District.
- No supplemental, alternative, or aftermarket provider of FSData Logger software and logger is available.
- If a supplemental, alternative or aftermarket provider were available, the transitional costs of moving to a provider other than McCrometer at this current time would be cost prohibitive and otherwise not in the best interest of the District.
