Request for Information: DeZurik/APCO Valves, Parts, and Repair Services

Broward County has issued a Request for Information under solicitation number BLD6232026F23 to determine if DeZurik/APCO valves, associated spare parts, and repair services are available from multiple providers or if a sole source designation for Controls Specialties, Inc. is appropriate. This RFI is not a request for pricing or a purchase commitment but is intended to identify manufacturers or distributors capable of supplying valves engineered for specific wastewater treatment processes, including aeration, digestion, and sludge thickening. A critical requirement is that the valves must be equipped with electric actuators capable of direct SCADA communication to ensure remote monitoring and control, which is essential for compliance with state-issued wastewater disposal permits. The scope of the inquiry includes the availability of technical support for configuration, calibration, and commissioning, as well as the implementation of preventive maintenance programs. Interested vendors must submit responses through the electronic bidding system by the deadline of September 29, 2026. Submissions must address a specific questionnaire regarding vendor authorization, SCADA compatibility, and experience with municipal wastewater facilities to help the county evaluate if alternative commodities or services can meet its operational needs.
