Sole Source: Maintenance and
SUBJECT: Repair Services for Irrigation Pump
Stations ("Hoover Pumps")
REFERENCES: Sole Source: 18-19-002
ENCLOSURES:
Market research was conducted to determine whether Hoover Pumping Systems Corporation
("Hoover"), located at 2801 N. Powerline Road Pompano Beach, FL 33069 continues to be the
sole source provider of Hoover Irrigation and Pumping Stations ("Hoover Pumps").
There were several companies in the area that provided irrigation system maintenance and
repair services; however, these companies do not have access to the Original Equipment
Manufacturer ("OEM") parts nor do they have the technical certifications to repair the Hoover
Pumps and maintain the warranties. The result of the investigation (shown below and in the
enclosed attachments) demonstrated that Hoover is the sole provider of the existing OEM parts,
and employs experienced and certified technicians to provide said services.
Over the past 4 years Hoover Pumps have been installed and maintained by Hoover at
Grapeland Water Park, Little Haiti Soccer Park, Robert King High Park Soccer Field and
Douglas Park;
2. All Hoover Pump technicians receive a minimum of ninety-six (96) hours of yearly training
to maintain certification and have in their vehicles OEM replacement parts;
3. Hoover certified technicians have full access to each Hoover Pump service history and
existing conditions; and
4. Only Hoover certified technicians have access to the proprietary software and parts and
can offer warranties on these items.
Based on the market research findings listed above, it is recommended that the City of Miami
enter into a Sole Source agreement for maintenance and repair services with Hoover.
