A RESOLUTION WAIVING PUBLIC BIDDING REQUIREMENTS AND APPROVING
A SOLE SOURCE PROCURMENT FOR THE PURCHASE OF E-ONE GRINDER PUMPS FOR
COUNTY MAINTAINED AND OPERATED GRINDER PUMP SYSTEMS
WHEREAS, Mason County is responsible for the maintenance and operation of approximately 450
grinder pump systems for single-family residential properties that have been designated as low-pressure
sewer areas that connect to either the North Bay Sewer System or the Belfair Sewer System; and
WHEREAS, many of the pumps used at the North Bay Sewer System have met their maximum
operational lifespan and the availability of parts for these older systems are limited.
WHEREAS, the County has been upgrading the older pumps to the newer E-One pump, given that
they are the only pumps that fit the size of the older tanks; and
WHEREAS, the County currently has a maintenance services agreement with Correct Equipment,
which are the only licensed supplier of the E-One Pumps in Washington State to provide the replacement
parts and pumps that meet our specifications.
WHEREAS, RCW 39.04.280(1) (a) specifies exemption to competitive bidding if the purchase is
clearly and legitimately limited to a single source supplier;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, by the Board of Mason County Commissioners as follows:
1. Correction Equipment is a sole source supplier of the E-one grinder pumps that are used at the
North Bay Sewer and Belfair Sewer Systems.
2. That the County is authorized to purchase (75) E-One Grinder Pumps without proceeding to
secure competitive bids, estimated at $212,877.00.
