Brief Description: The City intends to purchase five (5) submerged turbine mixer for the WWTP.
Justification: This purchase is for submerged turbine mixers required for proper and reliable mixing in the anoxic basin
at the Wastewater Treatment Plant. These mixers are critical to maintaining the biological treatment process and
ensuring compliance with regulatory standards.
The existing mixers installed at the facility are obsolete, and replacement parts are no longer available from any
alternative manufacturers. Ovivo USA, LLC (formerly Eimco Water Technologies – EWT) is the sole supplier of all
original equipment and parts for the following product lines: EIMCO, EIMCO Process Equipment, Baker Process,
EIMCO Water Technologies, and EIMCO Municipal Water and Wastewater Equipment.
Additionally, Ovivo USA, LLC has designated an exclusive authorized sales representative for all Ovivo process
equipment used in water and wastewater treatment within the State of Florida. As a result, no other vendors are
authorized or able to provide the required mixers or compatible OEM components.
Ovivo is the only source capable of supplying equipment that meets the specifications, footprint, and compatibility
requirements of the existing treatment process.
