About this file
This Addendum #1 to the Invitation to Bid is issued by the Florida Department of Military Affairs, Construction & Facility Management Office for Project 225164, the Camp Blanding Joint Training Center Power Distribution Upgrade. The addendum modifies the original solicitation issued June 25, 2026, which requested sealed bids from qualified licensed general or electrical contractors for a primary power distribution system upgrade at the facility located at 5629 State Road 16 West, Starke, Florida. The project includes a base bid and seven alternate bid items covering approximately 113 line poles plus 3 stub poles across 16 locations, with scope items encompassing conductor installations using aluminum ACSR wire in sizes ranging from #2 to 4/0, pole reframing, pole replacements, and transformer replacements (20 single-phase 25KVA and 12 single-phase 50KVA pole-mount units). The addendum removes Base Bid Item #2 (Stevens Lake Road to OP Dickson overhead line installation with 32 new poles) from the project scope. The original bid opening date of August 26, 2026 at 2:00 PM in St. Augustine remains unchanged. Potential bidders who attended the mandatory pre-bid/site visit meetings held July 14-15, 2026 may request additional site visits by contacting CBJTC DPW Construction. The addendum includes 42 numbered questions and answers addressing bidder inquiries regarding material specifications, working hours (Monday-Friday, 7:00 AM-4:30 PM), lead times, scope clarifications, payment schedules, security requirements, and compliance obligations.
The estimated construction cost is $1.8 million with performance and labor and material payment bonds equal to 100% of contract sum required. Bidders must include anticipated material cost escalation within bid pricing, as change orders for material price fluctuations will not be permitted; no upfront funding, mobilization payments, or material payments are available, though contractors may request payment upon material delivery to the site. Prequalification is required for bids exceeding $500,000 (Level Five), and contractors must hold current Florida state contractor licensing, maintain an active office within 300 road miles of the project, and secure a letter of intent from a bonding company. Progress payments are made at 95% of completed work with payment issued upon completion of individual jobs based on an estimated monthly draw schedule coinciding with the schedule of values. All work must be performed as energized work without outages unless specifically approved by CBJTC 72 hours in advance. All copper and demolition materials removed during the project remain the property of Camp Blanding Joint Training Center with CBJTC having right of first refusal on all removed materials. Substantial completion is required within 150 calendar days of Notice to Proceed, with liquidated damages assessed at $360 per day. The contractor is responsible for obtaining and paying for all local building permits except State Fire Marshal permits, verifying all measurements and quantities with no additional funds provided for shortages, and furnishing all materials and equipment. Remanufactured or certified refurbished transformers are acceptable if they carry warranty equal to or greater than new transformers.

REVISED PROPOSAL / LIST OF SUBCONTRACTORS FORM. BIDDERS MUST USE
THIS FORM!!
QUESTIONS FROM BIDDERS:
Q1 - Is there a material sheet and field print that can be provided to bidders.
A1A - We do not have an actual “field print” other than the (figs./images) attachments that were already included with the project’s advertisement
A1B - Attached is a material sheet with some of the material part numbers that are related to the project, but this parts list does not cover all required mailto:ng.fl.flarng.list.cbjtc-dpw-construction@army.mil material. A submittal / data sheet will still be required from all material / equipment used on the project.
Q2 – Please confirm the working hours at CBJTC for this project
A2 – Monday through Friday 7 AM – 4:30 PM. Currently there are no days at this point that the contractor cannot work, there will be portions of this work that will require CBJTC staff to be present and will need to be scheduled and approved by CBJTC PM. CBJTC will make every possible effort to work with the contractors and their schedule with the understanding that the contractor is subjected to Camp Blanding’s normal day to day activities and other requirements the staff has on post. *With this being a military facility, bidders need to be aware that at any given time they could be asked to stop work and leave post, it is unlikely that that will happen but possible.
Q3 -- A bidder mentioned that there is a 52 week lead time on the transformers.
A3 - After contract execution, the contractor will need to identify any long lead items and get those items ordered ahead of their Notice to Proceed if need be, mentioned in both pre-bid meetings to help with lead times, Camp Blanding will accept certified refurbished transformers as long as they carry the same or greater warranty as a new transformer.
Q4 -- Job 2: Please confirm that this job is no longer part of the bid package.
A4 – Confirmed – this Job has been removed Q5 -- Job 5: Please confirm that this job consists of reconductoring only and does not include a pole replacement.

Q10 - ABI 6: The last sentence states, "Cocoa Street needs upgraded to 4/0 primary wire, 1/0 neutral wire and poles. Wire 4234 to 4239." The reconductoring of Cocoa Street appears to already be included under ABI 5 – Cocoa Street and D Avenue - 7 Poles, Wire only - Poles 4234, 4235, 4236, 4237, 4238, 4230. Please confirm whether this is additional work or if it is already included under ABI 5.
A10A—Yes, this is already included under ABI 5, with the correction of pole #4239 instead of # 4230
If it is included under ABI 5, should the associated pole replacements for Cocoa Street mentioned in ABI 6 also be included under ABI 5, or are they intended to remain under
ABI 6?
A10B -- All references to Cocoa Street and associated poles are noted in ABI5 and will be removed from ABI 6. ABI 6 (Front Gate to “D”…) will stand alone as ABI 6.

A12- Bidders should include anticipated material cost escalation within their bid pricing
Q13 -- Additionally, please advise whether any upfront funding, mobilization payment, or material payment will be provided to help offset the cost of procuring materials and mobilizing the project prior to completion.
