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 replacement parts and components for the Ovivo CF200 2mm band screens and Ovivo Washer Compactors utilized at the Jordan Basin Water Reclamation Facility, and gives public notice of the same.
