(941) 955-0862 <br />January 11, 2022 <br />Re: North County Aquatic Center <br />Myrtha Sole Source Memorandum <br />To Whom is May Concern with the Indian River County Parks & Recreation Department: <br />In conformance with the Manufacturer's Certificate of Guarantee, Myrtha Pools USA (MPUSA) and our <br />parent company A&T Europe has partnered with A&W Flooring (A&W) because they are the certified regional <br />repair vendor to complete the liner renovations at the North County Aquatic Center. MPUSA is a wholly <br />owned subsidiary of the manufacturer A&T Europe, the patent holder of the Myrtha system. Myrtha has the <br />exclusive right to sell and install that system in the United States. Myrtha has contracted with A&W for the <br />purposes of delivering a successful renovation for the Indian River County Parks & Recreation Department. The <br />rational for this request is as follows. <br />• The manufacturer is offering to extend the existing warranties. Those warranties require that all <br />components associated with the pool be provided by the original manufacturer. The use of any third -party <br />components would violate those terms and void any warranty extensions. <br />• The existing / future pool warranty required that the installation of said components must be completed by <br />a Myrtha Certified installation component of void the existing material warranty. MPUSA takes the <br />training of our partners very seriously to ensure the highest quality results possible. Certification requires <br />regular attendance of our Pool Academy as well as supervised experience successfully installing the <br />Myrtha system. <br />• The technology utilized in the existing pool is a patented / proprietary system and not available from any <br />other vendor worldwide. MPUSA has the exclusive rights to the product in the US and even the base <br />component manufacturers have exclusivity agreements with us. There is no other product on the market <br />that is even similar let alone comparable. <br />• Finally, MPUSA has offered the Facility and extremely discounted guaranteed maximum price to complete <br />the work effort (at or even slightly below cost), because of or excellent past relationship. If the work effort <br />is publicly bid out in part or in whole, MPUSA loses the ability to control the cost and the Facility will <br />most certainly pay more (possibly considerably more) for the exact same work. <br />Should you have any questions related to these remarks, I may be reached by telephone at 941-350-3286 or email at <br />jireland c1_mvrthapoolsusa.com. Thank you very much for your consideration. <br />Sincerely, <br />4 �_ <br />John E.
