Subject: Approval of Power and Pumps as Single Source Vendor for Small Lift Station
Pumping Repairs and Replacements. (Utilities Director Bolling)
Background Summary:
In 2025, the City of Ocoee Utilities Department staff initiated a review of alternative pumps for its lift stations
due to increased product lead times and rising costs for FLYGT pumps. During this evaluation, Shinmaywa
pumps came highly recommended as cost-effective alternative for pumps up to 25 HP.
To verify Shinmaywa pumps performance and reliability, Utilities staff performed reference checks with
Gainesville Regional Utilities (GRU) and Jacksonville Electrical Authority (JEA), two of the largest sewer
providers in Florida that use these pumps. After a site visit with maintenance staff at JEA and a pilot study
where lift station staff ran a Shinmaywa pump next to existing pumps in Ocoee lift stations, it was determined
that Shinmaywa pumps are a suitable replacement for FLYGHT pumps up to 25 HP . In addition to pump
performance, Shinmaywa pumps can be delivered in a more timely manner since they are stocked in Atlanta
and Charlotte, and they represent a 30% savings per pump compared to FLYGT pumps. Additionally, the
pumps do not require any modifications for installation.
Power and Pumps is the supplier of Shinmaywa pumps. The further use of Power and Pumps requires single
source vendor approval as any additional purchases will exceed the purchasing authority of the City
Manager’s office.
Issue:
Should the Honorable Mayor and City Commission approve Power and Pumps as a single source vendor of
Lift Station pumps 25 HP and below for repair and/or replacement?
Recommendations:
Staff recommends that the Honorable Mayor and City Commission Power and Pumps as a single source
vendor of Lift Station pumps 25 HP and below for repair and/or replacement. Staff also recommend the City
Manager be authorized to approve future purchases with Power and Pumps up to the limit of his purchasing
authority for each purchase, not to exceed the budgeted amount, each fiscal year.
