Body
SUMMARY:
Moyno Pumps are standardized in the City’s wastewater and water facilities for handling of high viscosity sludge and residuals, due to reliability of the pumps, and to facilitate operational and maintenance efficiency. Carl Eric Johnson of Lawrenceville, GA is the sole authorized regional distributor of Moyno equipment and services. Standardization of pumping equipment reduces redesign/retrofit of the piping systems and overall down time, which is critical to maintaining regulatory compliance. Standardization also reduces the required stocking of parts, replacement pumps, and the cost of maintenance operations. Public Utilities will complete a market analysis each year prior to renewal to ensure no additional distributors have entered the market for these parts.
In accordance with city code Section 2.564 (1)(b), Exceptions to Bidding, Carl Eric Johnson has been determined a sole source vendor for Moyno Pumps, replacement parts and factory authorized service.
