This is Addendum 4 to an Invitation for Bid issued by Jacksonville Electric Authority (JEA) for the purchase, fabrication, and delivery of spun concrete transmission poles for the New World Substation 230kV Transmission Line project. The addendum clarifies specifications for Structure Number 068-954, correcting the pole designation from a 120'/25' - 24kip pole to a 120'/25' - 36kip pole, as indicated in the PLS-Pole model and consistent with JEA's Bid Summary Sheet. The original solicitation encompasses 32 poles across eleven line items, ranging from 120 to 125 feet in length with load ratings between 20 and 36 kip. The mandatory pre-response meeting was held on September 29, 2026 at 1:00 PM EST, and bids are due October 13, 2026 at 12:00 PM EST. This is a one-time purchase with no renewal options, and JEA reserves the right to award one or multiple contracts at its discretion based on the lowest responsive and responsible bidder.

All poles must be centrifugally spun concrete with circular cross-sections, spiral steel reinforcement, and specific dimensional requirements including tip diameters between 15 and 21 inches and minimum wall thickness of 3.5 inches. Concrete must achieve 28-day compressive strength of 8500 psi with a maximum water-cement ratio of 0.40. Bidders must be pre-qualified manufacturers on JEA's Approved Manufacturers List, currently limited to Valmont and Trinity Meyer, and cannot appear on Florida's Convicted Vendor List, Suspended Vendor List, or Jacksonville's Disqualified Vendor List. Bid security of 5% of the bid amount and 100% contract bond are required. Goods are warranted free from defects for two years from delivery, with DDP destination pricing covering all packaging, marking, and transportation costs.

Insurance requirements include workers' compensation, commercial general liability ($1 million each occurrence / $2 million aggregate), automobile liability ($1 million combined single limit), and excess/umbrella liability ($1 million), with JEA named as additional insured. Bidders must acknowledge receipt of this addendum on their proposal forms.
