The City of Deerfield Beach is seeking information on whether other qualified vendors can supply OEM or compatible replacement components for the New York Blower FRP chlorine scrubber exhaust fan at its Water Treatment Plant. The specified parts are a wheel and shaft assembly, a replacement Teflon shaft-hole closure, and a pair of bearings needed to return the fan to service.
