WHEREAS, the Town of Queensbury's Water Superintendent has advised that it is
necessary to purchase a Flyght Sludge Pump for the Town's Water Treatment Plant, and
WHEREAS, GA Fleet supplied the Flyght Sludge Pump which was part of the
original Town Water Treatment Plant Upgrade in 1996, and
WHEREAS, the Water Superintendent has advised that he attempted to find pumps
with solid handling capabilities from other suppliers that were supposed to be equal to the
Flyght's Sludge Pump curve; however, such brand submersible solid handling pumps have
failed to pump the Water Department's aluminum sludge as effectively as the original
Flyght Pump, and

set forth in GA Fleet's Quote dated June 7 h, 2023 as presented at this meeting, and

declare GA Fleet as a sole source provider and authorize the purchase of the needed Flyght
Sludge Pump for the Water Department from GA Fleet, and
WHEREAS, for the above reasons, the Town Board wishes to waive the Town
Purchasing Policy's self-imposed bidding requirement in this instance and declare GA Fleet
as a sole source provider to help ensure that the Town's Water Treatment Plant will continue
to operate in a safe and efficient manner,
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT
RESOLVED, that for the reasons outlined above, in these circumstances the
Queensbury Town Board hereby waives its self-imposed bidding requirement under the
Town of Queensbury's Purchasing Policy and declares GA Fleet as a sole source provider
for this Flyght Sludge Pump purchase to help ensure that the Town's Water Treatment Plant
will continue to operate in a safe and efficient manner, and

RESOLVED, that the Queensbury Town Board hereby approves and authorizes the
purchase of the Flyght Sludge Pump from GA Fleet for an amount not to exceed $24,239 as
delineated in GA Fleet's quote dated June 7 h, 2023 substantially in the form presented at
this meeting to be paid from Account No.: 040-8320-4350, and
