Sole Source Intent - Emmons Metro - PENTAIR Pumps and parts

The County of Ontario’s Department of Public Works intends to issue a sole source award to Emmons Metro for PENTAIR pumps and parts, citing a justifiable lack of competition due to the specialized nature of the equipment required for wastewater management systems. The purchase is necessary to maintain operational continuity and ensure compatibility with existing infrastructure, as only PENTAIR products meet the technical specifications and performance standards mandated by the county’s wastewater treatment facilities. The anticipated cost of this procurement is not specified in the provided details, but it will be governed by the county’s established purchasing statutes and procedures. This notice of intent is not a competitive solicitation, and responses received by the deadline of August 24, 2026, will not be treated as formal bids or proposals but will solely inform future procurement decisions. The primary point of contact for inquiries is Steven May, Bureau Supervisor of Wastewater Management, with Jenifer Langer, Purchasing Director, serving as the secondary contact. The purchase will be executed in Canandaigua, New York, and all actions will align with New York State and County procurement regulations.
