About this file

This document is a bid evaluation matrix for Jacksonville Electric Authority (JEA) related to Progressive Design-Build Services for the New World Substation, a 230/26kV electric substation project located at the southwest corner of Normandy Boulevard and New World Road in Jacksonville, Florida. JEA is soliciting an experienced design and construction team to provide all engineering, permitting, design, structure and material procurement, and construction services for the new facility. The mandatory pre-response meeting is scheduled for November 13, 2026, at 10:00 AM EST, with an optional site visit on November 17, 2026, at 1:00 PM EST. Proposals are due by December 8, 2026, at 12:00 PM EST. The project schedule requires a start date of January 4, 2027, with design milestones at 10%, 30%, 60%, 90%, and final design completion by October 1, 2027. The desired in-service date is December 22, 2028, with outages anticipated during fall and spring months. The contract represents a progressive design-build engagement where JEA will hold the selected bidder to their indicated in-service date with liquidated damages enforcement for non-compliance.

The evaluation matrix allocates 100 total points across multiple criteria: Professional Staff Experience (15 points), Similar Project Experience (30 points), Project Schedule (20 points), Design Approach (15 points), Construction Approach and Resource Availability (15 points), and Jacksonville Small Emerging Business (JSEB) participation (5 points). Bidders must demonstrate that four key primary team members possess relevant education, experience, office locations, licenses/certifications, and reference projects. Similar projects must be Engineering, Procurement, and Construction projects completed within the past ten years involving new electric substations at or above 115kV phase-to-phase voltage. JEA requires JSEB participation for initial design scope work only, including surveying, utility location, geotechnical engineering, permitting, and design tasks, with points awarded on a sliding scale from 0 to 5 based on the percentage of work subcontracted to qualified JSEB firms. No pricing information, contract term, or funding sources are specified in this evaluation matrix document.
